A quick Cape Cod report for you: Martha’s Vineyard Fishing Report … August 9, 2010 No report is a report… With the exception of smaller bluefish and very finicky bonitos, the fishing around the Vineyard these past days has been less than exciting. I wish I had better news at this point but we are [...]




Martha’s Vineyard Fishing Report

Jul 26th, 2010 | By mncahill | Category: Cape Cod and the Islands, Fishing Reports, Lead Article

Capt. Phil Cronin reports from the Vineyard that they’re taking gator blues, and also passes on the tantalizing word that Bill McConnell brought a bonito to boatside on Saturday. Unfortunately the fish didn’t make it the whole way over the side. So it’s “Game On” for bonito!

Typical Fall Reports

As the season has progressed, many boaters on and off the cape have switched their target species from bass to tuna.

Fall Season starts

Sep 4th, 2009 | By Bob Parsons | Category: Cape Cod and the Islands, Lead Article

Albies at the Vineyard, albies in Buzzards Bay, and albies on the minds of lightackle and fly fishermen around the area. It’s the beginning of what looks like it could be an epic back end of the season!

We are at the end of August. A time where various types of fishing really heats up. I have a love/hate relationship with this time of the year. I love the chance to chase after the different species.
