Boston Fishstix started the season in style down on Martha's Vineyard. Rich and I were joined by James and Christian for a long-weekend of fishing down on the island. While some of my favorite spots were not as active as in past years, we explored some new areas and were rewarded with fine fishing. We found the best action on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning under overcast conditions. Large schools of bass and bluefish were pushing through the area and eating all along the way. We had great visuals of 5-6 fish following our flies and lures right to the boat in shallow water. The fish were of decent size with numbers of 30"+ fish in the schools. The weather soured a bit on Friday but the fishing remained solid.
More and more bluefish moved in as the weekend progressed and by Saturday, the blues outnumbered the bass by 3 to 1.Overall, it was a fantastic way to start the season. Good fishing, good food, and good company. Christian, a fine professional photographer, captured the weekend with some great shots. Check out a few of his images here and more at his website.
Charters begin this week in Boston. The fish are here chasing a good amount of bait. Should be a solid Memorial Day Weekend. See you on the water!
