Martha's Vineyard Fishing Report: Late November Stripers, Gale Warning, and Early Morning Opportunity

# Artificial Lure's Martha's Vineyard Fishing Report – Friday, November 28th

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Friday morning fishing report for Martha's Vineyard and the surrounding waters.

Let's start with the conditions. We're looking at overcast skies this morning with temperatures hovering around 37 degrees and light winds at 5 miles per hour from the west-southwest. Now, a Gale Warning is in effect from 6 AM through tomorrow morning, so if you're heading out, make sure you get going early before conditions deteriorate around Nantucket.

Tide-wise, we've got a low tide this morning at 1:49 AM here on the island, so we're heading into the rising tide right now, which is excellent for fishing. The tidal flow should remain favorable through mid-morning, making it prime time for structure fishing and bait fishing along the channels.

Now here's the thing about late November on the Vineyard – the striped bass bite is still active if you know where to look. The recent Coast Guard rescue operation off Cape Cod tells me the waters have been active and fishermen have been out there pushing it. You're looking at schoolie stripers in the 18 to 24-inch range around the deeper channels and drop-offs near Edgartown Harbor.

For lures, stick with white and chartreuse soft plastics in 4 to 6-inch lengths, or work small spoons if the light allows. Live bait – particularly bunker or herring – remains your best bet this time of year. If you can source fresh eels, don't sleep on them for stripers and larger bass.

I'd recommend focusing on two hot spots today: the channel near Mariner's Way in Edgartown where there's good current flow and depth, and around the North Shore area in Aquinnah if you want to get away from the crowds.

The window's tight this morning – get out there early before that gale arrives. Thanks for tuning in and please subscribe for daily reports.
