Martha's Vineyard Fishing Report: Stripers Sizzling, Blues Blazing, & More!
Published 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Martha's Vineyard fishing report for this beautiful Saturday, June 7th, 2025.
First light broke at 5:08 AM and we've got daylight stretching all the way to sunset at 8:13 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water today. The weather's holding steady with comfortable early June temperatures—perfect shirtsleeve conditions with that light southerly breeze we've been hoping for.
The striper bite is absolutely sizzling right now! The ratio has tipped heavily towards slot-sized fish and bigger, with some anglers landing bass in the 40-inch range. The boat crowd is cleaning up on the south side, especially around Middle Ground where amber-colored Hogy poppers are proving irresistible. Those stripers are chasing squid, which you can literally see in the waves as they try to escape becoming bass breakfast.
Bluefish action is heating up too, particularly off the east end of Martha's Vineyard where larger choppers are smashing topwater lures. If you're looking for a real battle, head out there with substantial topwater plugs and hold on tight!
For bottom fishing enthusiasts, sea bass are hitting well in Vineyard Sound. Your best bet is jigging in 50 to 70 feet of water with slow-pitch and butterfly jigs sporting larger hooks to weed out the smaller fish. Most successful anglers are working these rigs to fill their limits.
Tide-wise, we're looking at average coefficients today—around 55 to 59—which should create good movement without overwhelming current. The sweet spots today will be during the tide changes, particularly as water starts moving out of the bays and salt ponds.
Hot spots you absolutely need to hit: Wasque Point and Lobsterville Beach have been producing slot-sized stripers right in the wash during early morning and late outgoing tides. They're hitting metal lips and needlefish plugs, but keep some minnow plugs handy for the more selective fish. The rips in Vineyard and Nantucket sounds are where the boat action is concentrated—definitely worth the fuel if you've got a vessel.
For tackle, larger offerings are paying off with the better fish in the mix. Nine-inch plugs and lures are this year's favorites, matching the bigger bait profile these predators are keyed into.
