Fishing
The waters of Nantucket Sound are ripe for those seeking striped bass, bluefish, fluke, tuna and even sharks. Trolling, drifting cut bait, casting lures or running live bait are generally some of the methods used.
The striped bass is so highly prized for its size and many anglers consider it the premier game fish in Massachusetts. It can be found from May to November along the entire Massachusetts coastline.
Fishing for adult bluefish generally improves through the summer as more fish start moving into inshore areas, and extends through October, after which waters cool and the fish migrate offshore and southward.
