Fishing Cuttyhunk

Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and Cuttyhunk: legendary surf and rips for striped bass and bluefish.

What's biting now (Fall): Striped bass head south along the coast; false albacore and bonito around Cape Cod and the Islands in early fall.

Commonly caught in this area: Striped bass, bluefish, false albacore and bonito in late summer.

Also caught here: false albacore, scup, black sea bass.

Read the beach before you cast: look for darker troughs, rip currents and cuts in the sandbar where fish feed. Sand fleas and shrimp are reliable surf baits, and the first and last hours of daylight are usually best.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
