 Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Martha's Vineyard fishing report for this fine Saturday, May 24th, 2025.

Folks, it's shaping up to be another beautiful day on the Vineyard! We've got sunrise at 5:12 AM and sunset at 8:07 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to wet your lines. Today's weather is looking mighty fine - partly cloudy skies with temps hitting the mid-70s and a gentle southwest breeze at 5-10 knots. Perfect conditions to be out on the water!

Tide-wise, we've got high tide coming in around 9:15 AM and again at 9:40 PM, with low tide around 3:30 PM. That falling tide in the afternoon should be prime time for targeting those hungry stripers and blues.

Speaking of stripers, they're really showing up in numbers now! The spring migration is in full swing, with schoolies abundant all around the island and some keeper-sized bass mixed in. The east end of the Canal and Buzzards Bay have been producing consistent catches. Water temps have finally climbed into the low 50s, and that's got the fish actively feeding.

Bluefish have arrived right on schedule! They've been tearing up baits along the south-facing beaches, with some nice choppers in the mix. If you're after blues, beef up those leaders and throw some metal lures or popping plugs.

Sea bass season is now open, and limits are being caught in Buzzards Bay with some fluke and bluefish as bycatch. Flounder fishing remains strong in the deeper channels.

Tautog are still holding on rock piles outside river mouths, especially during falling tides. Green crabs with trimmed legs remain the top bait, though jigs are working well too.

For hot spots, I'd recommend trying Menemsha Harbor early morning for stripers - they've been hitting white bucktail jigs tipped with pork rind. The rips off Chappaquiddick have been productive during tide changes, and Wasque Point has been giving up some nice blues on diamond jigs and poppers.

Bait-wise, fresh herring is king right now if you can get it. The herring runs are thick, and that's what the predators are keyed in on. Chunked mackerel and squid are solid alternatives.

For the artificials crowd, white or bone-colored topwater plugs during dawn and dusk, switching to swimming plugs or soft plastics in pearl or mackerel patterns during daylight hours.

The intersection of bass and bait in the ripping currents has been explosive, especially when those fallback herring get flushed downstream.

Remember folks, treat those fish with care if you're practicing catch and release, especially the breeding females. Let's ensure we have great fishing for years to come!

This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and see you on the water!
