Marthas Vineyard,Ma Fishing Report

FLY FISHING THE VINEYARD

My friends and I spent years spring fly fishing the Vineyard from shore and boat. We would target by boat the back side of Menemsha pond,a huge saltwater inlet,that held stripers from 30" to cows stacked up like cord wood in the shallows warming themselves. These bass will hold in the pond for weeks until the shoreline warms and then we fish the beaches around the Island. You can still take good fish and hit some great blitzes but my friends and I agree that the fishing has been harder than years ago when the fish were more predictable as to where and when to fish. If you are a fly fisherman you would love sight fishing Menemsha pond from late May to early June for those big stripers. Contact guides with boats or better yet call COOP'S BAIT AND TACKLE for a good guide.
