Vineyard Fishing Report: Stripers, Fluke, and More on the Bite - Quiet Please AI
Published 10 months, 1 week ago
Description
Well, anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with a real-time report for Martha’s Vineyard and the offshore bite on June 22nd, 2025. It’s a primo day for saltwater action—here’s how to make the most of it.
First off, let’s talk tide. Over at Lucy Vincent, you’re looking at a high tide of 2.7 feet at 5:18 AM, low tide is -0.1 feet at 11:04 AM, and another high tide at 5:48 PM pushing to 3.7 feet. Over on East Chop, low hits at 2:39 AM but with only minimal drop, and the next low is just before 3:00 PM. High tides are a bit later: 9:20 AM and 9:36 PM, so plan your drifts and structure fishing accordingly. According to Surfline and Tide-Forecast, this week the tides are mild, but the swing is enough to get bait moving and fish feeding.
Sunrise is at 5:08 AM and sunset at 8:19 PM, giving you a full day on the water. Weather looks prime for fishing—expect light winds, partly cloudy skies, and comfortable temperatures in the low 70s. The water temps are just right, and there’s plenty of action to be had.
Now, for the fishing: Striper action continues to be solid. The Vineyard Gazette and On The Water both note that large bass are around, especially out by the wrecks and ledges of the Vineyard and Nantucket Sounds. Black sea bass are thick—plenty of keepers and some bigger models. If you’re looking for a mixed bag, the rips and ledges off Gay Head, Lobsterville, and the boulder fields south of Edgartown are producing. Blues are also in the mix, with some real bruisers over ten pounds reported in Buzzards Bay—though you’ll find smaller schools of blues and bass cruising the rips around the Vineyard.
Fluke have yet to really stack up tight on the Vineyard, but plenty are just across the Sound and will likely move in as the season heats up. For bait, fresh squid, live mackerel, and sand eels are top choices. For lures, you can’t go wrong with metal-lip swimmers, flutter spoons, and jigs in the 2-3 ounce range, especially if you’re targeting bass feeding on herring or bunker. Topwater plugs are also turning big bass—think “dog” and “darter” style baits at first light or dusk.
Hot spots: Try the rip off Gay Head at tide change for big bass, or drift the boulder fields off Edgartown for a mixed bag. For fly anglers, the flats around Tashmoo and the jetties in Oak Bluffs are worth a look at low tide.
