Martha's Vineyard Spring Striper Run: Tides and Migratory Fish Moving In
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishin' around Martha's Vineyard on this crisp April 17th mornin' at 3 AM. Tides today mirror Lynn's chart nearby—low at 'bout 3 AM, high 'round 9:30 AM and 10 PM, with strong coefficients up to 94 meanin' rip-roarin' currents perfect for bait driftin'. Sunrise hits 6:20 AM, sunset 7:50 PM, givin' ya solid daylight windows.
Weather's playin' nice: overcast with early rain taperin' to showers, lows near 49F tonight, warmin' to 64F tomorrow under partly cloudy skies and light NNW winds at 5-10 mph. Water temps hoverin' 50s, visibility decent at 3 feet like recent Northeast runs.
Fish are wakin' up! Fresh migratory stripers with sea lice pushin' into the Sound per On The Water's Connecticut report—expect similar here with holdovers bitin' steady. Locals landed stripers, blues, and schoolies last few days; some browns and fallfish in rivers feedin' into the Bay. Amounts? Low density but quality—anglers nabbin' a few per outing, up to 30-inch reds mixin' in from southern reports echoin' our waters.
Hot spots: Hit the jetties at Edgartown or Nomans Land rips for stripers—tides pull hard there. Vineyard Sound shoals for blues on the flood.
Best lures? Bucktails or soft plastics in chartreuse for stripers; metal slugs like Kastmasters for blues. Live bait shines—mummichogs or eels on a fish-finder rig; clams for bottom feeders.
Rig light, fish the incoming, and stay safe out there—boots on deck!
