Windwalker Weekly Fishing Report-Weekend of July 4th

The big news is that as of today, July 2nd, Great Point is open again-Coatue is still closed.

Unlike news from the stock market, the Nantucket Fishing report continues to be positive. Striped Bass are being caught all around the Island from shore, in the rips, and on the Flats. The South Shore beaches have been more conducive to Surfing than fishing the past few days so wily anglers have been moving to more protected spots and have been catching fish.

Although the news could change any day now, Bluefishing continues to be spotty. We have been spoiled in recent years by hoards of Bluefish in late June near Nantucket real estate. They are here now, but relatively scarce. There are reports of Squid in Nantucket harbor. This is good news because they are fun to catch and should draw the Bass and Bluefish into the harbor waters.

The weather forecast for the holiday weekend is excellent.  Check with your local Tackle Shop or favorite Charter Captain for the latest information and get out there!

Excited beach fishermen are reporting excellent Striped Bass fishing all over Nantucket Island. In fact, the in-shore Bass fishing may be reaching its peak until the water begins to cool off again in the fall. The South Shore beaches continue to be hot with many points and holes still in place to attract feeding Stripers. The flats on the West End of the island and off the Northern Beaches have also been producing good results. Folks trying to get out of the wind have been doing well at night on the East side and fishermen venturing out to Great Point are beginning to be rewarded for their efforts. Bass are definitely being caught in the harbor although they do not seem to be feeding nearly as aggressively as elsewhere around the island. There have been reports of Bass over 40” being taken from shore.

Bluefish are being taken as well but the big story continues to be the Bass.

Get out to your Nantucket Beach House and enjoy this great fishing!
