Stripers (Bass, Striped) have been very good. Some are over 50 bs. You can see them breaking and feeding at sunrise. They are definitely part of the migration running the West and East end of the canal. They seem to be everywhere. The length of the daylight has triggered the migration so they are moving. The Stripers are still biting to the North as well. Fluke [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)] are also still biting this week. Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black) are closed. Anglers are just beginning to look for Tautog using Green Crabs in the deeper areas of Buzzards Bay. We see some nice weather ahead for the week so far and the fishing should continue to do well.

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – Anglers are finally finding Bass (Bass, Striped) off the rips off of Chatham. This is a good sign this year. They vary in size but if you put some time in you will find a keeper. Ripping Flies or Molded Squid by Slick Fish has worked very well. In the Sound the Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black) are still around and the boats are beginning to target Fluke [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)], especially around Nantucket. They are around 10 lbs. Bluefish are off the Vineyard but that’s about it so far. As the water warms up we hope to see them move into the Sound and Bay. In the bay there are huge schools of Pogie in the middle of the bay in deep water. There will usually be some Stripers hanging around them. From the Sound there are still some fish during the early morning bite but they aren’t crazy. There are a ton of small fish on the shoals, not a lot of keepers but they provide a fun bite.
OFFSHORE – The Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) have been slow to the East. The Orca are changing conditions and pushing the fish around so we will have to see how it turns out.
BAIT REPORT – Pogie (Menhaden) are swimming the bay this week. There are new products arriving at Powder Horn Outfitters all the time! Stop in and check it out!

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – Larry’s Tackle Shop was a busy place this weekend as regulars and vacationers were gearing up for the fishing. While the bite on larger Stripers (Bass, Striped) has slowed a bit there are lots of small fish in the 12- to 17-inch class being caught and released all around the island. Peter said there are still guys taking keeper bass but not as many but the Bluefish have taken up the slack with Kastmasters and Ballistic Missiles doing most of the damage. There are small pockets of Squid around but you have to hunt for them and Peter recommends using the Yo-Zuri squid rigs in the glow color which have been the hot lure of late.

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – There is a lot of big Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black). Anglers are doing well in the middle ground with Bass (Bass, Striped) and Blues (Bluefish). There have been some Bass at night around the island. The fishing is good since there is so much Squid everywhere. For the day bite in the rivers anglers are using topwater plugs for the Bass and the Blues. We hope to see these conditions continue into the weekend.

INSHORE – Nice big Bluefish are swimming the South end this week. They are up to 18 lbs. Stripers (Bass, Striped) are small to medium but there are a few larges kicking around. They are off the Elizabeth islands area.
OFFSHORE – Offshore has turned on a bit. Fluke [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)] are picking up. Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black) and Scup are doing well. Scup has also been increasing and doing really well. Squid is holding. Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) is just beginning to show up. They are small to medium but they should pick up quick.

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black) and Scup in Nantucket Sound are phenomenal. Fish Bites are out fishing fresh bait. It has been catching huge sizes of both fish. Off Oregon beach there is a ton of Bluefish. Single hooks are best and Rangers are particularly successful. In Cape Cod Bay the topwater bite has been fantastic. Custom plugs such as Gibbs or other wood plugs are out fishing most products. SP Minnows are hot as well. Anglers are catching huge Striped Bass (Bass, Striped) up to 35 lbs. There are plenty of product Demos happening next weekend June 18-19, just in time for Father’s day.
OFFSHORE – Commercial Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) is now open and the bite has been good. The bite has died down a bit from opener but we expect it to pick up. Lighter tackle such as bigger swim plugs have been the most productive.

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – A lot of small Bass (Bass, Striped) are swimming around 8-15 inches. The bigger fish are beginning to move in. They are up to 20 lbs. No Bluefish have shown up just yet. We should be in for a great season if the Sand Eel run continues as thick as it is now. Fluke [Flounder, Summer (Fluke)] are between the island and on the wrecks. They love structure. The shoals to Cedar Creek are holding some nice sizes as well as the wrecks on the Cape.
OFFSHORE – The Scup are doing fine and the Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black) are beginning to show up nicely. We are seeing Tuna (Tuna, Bluefin) on the 30 Fathom curve as well. The sizes are varied.
BAIT REPORT – There is a really nice run of Sand Eels so far this year. The Jumping Minnow Plug is hot this week and you can find it at Coop’s Bait & Tackle!

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – In the canal there are fish moving through and keepers taken. Bob Davis Canal Cruisers are hot long with Hogy Paddle Tail jigs are good as well. In Cape Cod Bay the harbor is loaded with Bass (Bass, Striped) of all sizes. There are some schoolie and keepers in there. Small and white lures such as Bucktails, anything with rubber or Bill Hurley lures are working. SP Minnows are great on an overcast day. In the middle of the bay there is tons of Mackerel (Mackerel, Atlantic) running thick. Sabiki rigs are working well with an A 17 Diamond jig you’ll catch some great sizes from the bottom. Brewster Flats are holding some schoolie sized Stripers, primarily on the night bite but fly fisherman from Barnstable to Eastham are finding success on a moving tide. Orange and Red are fishing well on flies. Spin guys can use Hurleys and soft plastics. Not a lot has come out of the back but there are some reports of Groundfish and Sea Bass (Sea Bass, Black). Don’t forget to double check the regulations as they have changed for this year. Easy Clam has been an awesome bait to throw, especially for Sea Bass, Tautog, Scup and Porgy. It looks like it is going to shape up for a promising Fluke season. There have only been a couple reports at this point but we should see them off the islands of Nantucket. A few reports of Bluefish are coming off the Falmouth and Southern beaches have come in. Once the water warms up they should move into the bay.

INSHORE – Small keepers are coming mostly from the west end and just around the railroad bridge, but the photo of a supposed 40-inch Striper (Bass, Striped) was much more like a 33-inch linesider according to Bruce at Canal Bait and Tackle. There are plenty of Herring around and the first quality bass of the season should be coming into the scales this week. The Tautog bite in the West end has been very good and they have a good supply of Crabs on hand.

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – Although the season is pretty much shut down in this area there are still a few fish that can be found. Bass, Striped are mixed in with Bluefish and the bite has been fairly decent. The sizes are not gigantic however they are present. Sand Eels and Crabs have been the best bet for bait this week, and similar artificials will work as well. Most of the focus has turned to freshwater fishing at this point in the year.
OFFSHORE – There are still some Tuna, Bluefin and Bonito, Little Tunny swimming the offshore thi week. The sizes are great at this point and although the bite is not as hot this week they are turning up well for anglers who put their time in. There are no reports of Mackerel, Atlantic so far this week but we won’t be surprised to hear of some anglers hooking a few over the holiday weekend. Squid has been the best bait to catch anything in the area.

It’s absolutely quality over quantity right now. Reports have come in of up to 660 lbs! Anglers have been live lining Mackerel around the bottom of the Stellwagen area for the biggest sizes. The bite is expected to continue over the next few weeks as the water will remain cold and the bigger sizes will move down.

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – There are still a few spots to find Bass, Striped this week before they disappear. Outside the estuaries and into the creeks are holding a few good sizes however most of the bigger Bass are holding up in the canal and are running fairly steady. The Blues (Bluefish) are gone at this point. There are still some croakers swimming as well however are becoming very sporadic. Blackfish (Tautog) is doing well on structures in the nearshore. There have also been some Flounder, Winter but not very many. They have been hiding along the bottom so anglers have to work to get some decent sizes.
OFFSHORE – Tuna, Bluefin are still swimming about 12 miles out off Chatham. They continue to come in fairly thick and in good sizes. Big Mackerel have been reported from the offshore as well and are chasing the thick Sand Eel run that is making its way by. There is no shortage of fish in the offshore this week and when weather condition have been favorable the fishing has been great.
BAIT REPORT – Sand Eels continue to run thick in the offshore this week and are working well as bait. Keep your eyes out for the The Goose Hummock’s huge Black Friday Sales and Mark your calendars February 5 & 6 for The Goose Hummock’s Blue Water Bash! See website for details.

INSHORE – Conditions are fairly slow inshore at this time. There are a few schoolie sized Bass (Bass, Striped) left but not many in keeper sizes as they move out. Surprisingly there are still some Squid hanging around. Tog (Tautog) have been biting fairly well in the shallow water on Green Crabs around structure.
OFFSHORE – Tuna, Bluefin has had a spotty bite by the cape. There’s been some decent catches of Cod (Cod, Atlantic) off Chatham. Otherwise there has not been a lot of action in this area due to unfavorable weather conditions deterring most anglers from heading out. If conditions lay down and fishermen decide to head to the deeper water they can always consult our Tips feature which provides additional suggestions and information that could help improve the catch. Alternatively Coop’s Bait & Tackle can provide an up to the minute fishing report if anglers have managed to make their way out.

Nashawena and Naushon Islands Fishing Report
INSHORE – On the South side of the island there are still some Bass (Bass, Striped) swimming although this is pretty much the only species left. Blues have completely pulled out. Anglers are throwing Needlefish or Eels to hook the Bass, and some are even using bucktails. A lot of anglers are heading for the freshwater at this point.
OFFSHORE – Some good days of Tuna (Tuna, Yellowtail & Tuna, Bluefin) can still be found over the hook and into the bay. This is beginning to slow down as anglers need to run farther to find them and the weather begins to cool down. This bite is still expected for another week or two before it drops some more.
BAIT REPORT – There’s not too much bait running. If you plan on heading out and would like additional suggestions feel free to visit our Tips feature which provides lots of information from fish to how to catch them!
