Vineyard Fishing Update: Stripers, Bluefish, and Cod Biting Amid Winter Chill
Published 4 months ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your Vineyard fishing buddy, comin' at ya from the salty shores on this crisp December 28th mornin' at 8:34. Winter's grip is on, but the fish ain't quittin'—they're stackin' up in the shallows waitin' for ya.
Tides today at Oak Bluffs and off Chilmark Pond show high at about 5:19 AM hittin' 2.7 feet, low around 10 AM near 0 feet, then high again 5:50 PM at 3.5 feet, droppin' low late night—perfect for slack water striper hunts, per Tide-Forecast and Surfline charts. Sunrise kicked off at 7:07 AM, sunset's 4:20 PM, givin' ya a short window but golden light for sight fishin'. Weather's holdin' chilly, mid-30s with light NW winds—bundle up, no big blows forecast.
Fish activity's solid post-storm; reports from local charter logs whisper stripers 28-38 inches crashin' eels and clams, plus schoolies in the 20s by the bunches. Bluefish holdouts tearin' through bunker pods, and cod makin' a winter show offshore. Keepers on the daily—nothin' crazy like summer hauls, but consistent limits if ya work it.
Best lures? Bucktail jigs in white or chartreuse, 1-2 oz, jigged slow off bottom. Soft plastics like 4-inch paddle tails on 1/4 oz heads mimic sand eels. Live bait kings: bloodworms or herring chunks on fish-finder rigs. Fish the incoming for topwater action early.
Hot spots: Hit Nobska Point for rips pullin' bait, or drift the Vineyard Sound shoals near Squibnocket—NOAA buoy data shows good current there. Chappaquiddick beaches for surf casters too.
Get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines!
