Martha's Vineyard March Fishing Report: Stripers, Tautog, and Early Blues Heating Up for Spring
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Martha's Vineyard fishing report for March 26, 2025. We've got a high tide coming in at 10:17 AM and low tide at 4:32 PM. Sun's up at 6:35 AM and down at 7:11 PM. Weather's looking decent today - partly cloudy with a high of 58°F and light winds out of the southwest at 5-10 mph.
Fish activity's really picking up as we head into spring. Recent catches have included a mix of striped bass in the 20-28 inch range, tautog up to 5 pounds, and even some early bluefish. Holdover stripers are becoming more active in the salt ponds and estuaries, with a few early schoolies reported in Menemsha and Edgartown Harbor.
For stripers, soft plastics like Hogy paddle tails and Zoom flukes in white or pearl are working well. If you're targeting tautog, green crabs and Asian shore crabs on jigs are your best bet. For those early blues, try metal lures like Kastmasters or Roberts Rangers.
Hot spots to check out: Wasque Point's been firing lately, especially for early-season stripers. For you fly fishing folks, Lobsterville Beach is the place to be. And don't sleep on the Oak Bluffs Fishing Pier - it's been producing some nice catches of tautog.
Remember, the water's still chilly, so fish are moving a bit slower. Slow down your retrieve and focus on deeper holes where fish might be holding. And keep an eye out for those first schools of river herring - when they show up, the fishing really kicks into high gear.
Oh, and for you freshwater anglers, the state's been stocking trout in our local ponds. Upper and Outer Cape ponds have been getting rainbows, so it might be worth tossing a line in there too.
Tight lines, everyone! See you on the water.
