The Striped bass fishing on Nantucket continues to be good, just in time for your Nantucket summer rental! The bass are feeding aggressively near shore and are getting bigger. Many fish have been caught in the 33’” range and there was a report of a 38” Bass caught in Nantucket Harbor.
When the surf and wind conditions permit, the South Shore beaches from Madaket to Tom Nevers have been productive. Some nice catches have also been reported on the North shore from Dionis up to the Jetties.
Nantucket Harbor is also beginning to heat up. The Bass that many have seen are now starting to bite. There have also been reports of Striped Bass on the East end of the Island.
Dionis and Nantucket Harbor are good places to fish if you are looking for Bluefish. They are showing up all around the Island and should become even more established in the next few weeks as the water continues to warm up.
Great Point is now closed from the southern end of the Galls up to the Point due to nesting Piping Plovers. There have been a few small bass caught along the East side. As always, when you move into your Nantucket summer house, be sure to check in with any of the local Nantucket Tackle Shops or your favorite Charter Boat Captain for the latest details about fishing on Nantucket.
In 1974, Jean MacAusland enlisted the help of Dave Champoux to plant daffodils up and down the Milestone Road from Monomoy to Sconset. But has anyone noticed that the daffy’s are multiplying in front of the Nantucket Conservation land in Tom Nevers that we so fondly call “the Serengetti”?
Here is a little known fact…three years ago the fund-raising committee for Hospice Care of Nantucket, now known as Palliative and Supportive Care of Nantucket found a way to fundraise and give back to the community in a unique way.
At their annual fundraiser they asked for donations of $250 and in turn, several Nantucket landscaping companies agreed to donate daffodil bulbs and their labor to plant them- a fundraising win, win!! The concept was to enhance the daffodils each year along the Milestone Road on the way to Sconset in honor of all the hospice volunteers and staff, the caregivers currently working round-the-clock to care for patients and all the patients who benefit every day of the year from the supportive care that Hospice makes available here on Nantucket. The idea blossomed and soon the students from the New School joined the planting cause as part of their community service commitment.
Now some thirty years later, Dave Champoux of Champoux Landscaping is at it again and has organized the 2009 planting of Daffodils which will take place on November 21st. Since 2007, more than 20,000 bulbs have been added and the display in the spring is quite spectacular.
For more information on how you can support this effort, please contact director, Charlene Thurston at Palliative and Supportive Care of Nantucket 508-825-8325 or come and join their “Nantucket Dreamcatcher” fundraising dinner in June at Galley Beach.
