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!
