 Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Martha's Vineyard fishing report for Sunday, May 25th, 2025.

We're in the sweet spot of spring fishing now, folks! The water's warming up nicely since that unusually cold start we had this season. Today's looking to be a beauty with moderate temperatures and light winds - perfect for getting out on the water.

Striped bass action has really picked up over the last few weeks. What started as mainly holdovers in our rivers and salt ponds has transformed into a solid run of fresh fish. Schoolies are abundant along the South Shore, and I've gotten reports of some nice keeper-sized bass being taken at Menemsha and Chappaquiddick. Early mornings and evenings are your best bet, especially around the tide changes.

Speaking of tides, we've got a high tide around mid-morning today with another in the evening, creating perfect feeding windows at dawn and dusk. Sunrise was about 5:15 AM, and sunset will be around 8:10 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with.

The bluefish have arrived! Just as expected, those big choppers started showing up mid-May and they're hungry. South-facing beaches are your best bet, particularly Wasque Point and South Beach. Don't forget those wire leaders, folks - these blues will slice through mono like it's nothing!

Tautog fishing remains excellent in Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound. The rockpiles outside river mouths are consistently producing keeper-sized fish, especially during falling tides when that warmer water pushes out. Green crabs are still the top bait, but jigs tipped with crab are working well too.

Black sea bass season is now open, and the fishing has been fantastic! Boats heading out from Oak Bluffs are reporting limits of sea bass in the deeper structure, with some nice fluke mixed in as a bonus.

For lures, I'm seeing great results with white and chartreuse soft plastics for the stripers, particularly paddle tails on 1-ounce jigheads. Diamond jigs and heavy metals are working for the blues, while squid strips and seaworms are producing for those targeting fluke and sea bass.

Hot spots this week: The rip at Wasque Point has been fire for both stripers and blues, especially on the outgoing tide. For the boat anglers, the deep structure off Oak Bluffs is loaded with sea bass, and Middle Ground between us and Falmouth is producing some nice mixed bags of stripers and blues.

That's it for today, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!
