Martha's Vineyard Mid-March Fishing: Stripers, Bass, and Spring Stocking Season
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
# Martha's Vineyard Fishing Report
Hey folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report from Martha's Vineyard, and let me tell you, conditions are shaping up nicely as we head into mid-March.
Water conditions show we've got some pockets of open water appearing across the region after that mild stretch we've been having. According to NOAA tidal data, we're looking at a low tide around 12:08 AM and a high of about 5.21 feet at 6:00 AM, so you're catching the tail end of that incoming tide right now—prime time for stripers and bass moving through the channels.
The Cape Cod fishing reports indicate that spring trout stocking is imminent, and folks are already getting excited about that ice-out bass bite once things fully warm up. Black sea bass limits just increased for 2026, which means the state's got confidence in the population out here, and we should be seeing solid activity as water temps creep up.
For lures, stick with your standard stripers fare—pencil poppers and sand eels are going to work when the baitfish are active. Live mackerel and herring remain your go-to baits if you want to target the bigger fish. If you're after bass, soft plastics in natural colors will do the trick in these shallower areas.
The channels between Martha's Vineyard and the mainland are always productive this time of year, especially around the deeper holes where baitfish congregate. Don't sleep on fishing the tidal rips where the current pushes through—that's where the stripers hang to feed.
