Martha's Vineyard Fishing Report - Stripers, Tides, and Conditions for December 2nd, 2025

Good morning, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Tuesday fishing report for Martha's Vineyard, December 2nd, 2025.

Let's dive right into the conditions out there. We're looking at a high tide this morning at 4:42 AM at 3.4 feet, with the next low tide coming around midday. Water temperatures are holding steady in the low 40s, so dress warm and wear your layers.

The weather's cooperating reasonably well for early December. We've got winds coming in from the northeast, but nothing too gnarly—conditions are fishable if you time it right. Sunrise was around 7:00 AM, so you're in that golden window right now, and sunset comes in just after 4:30 PM, so we've got a solid afternoon window too.

Here's what's been happening on the water lately. According to recent fishing reports, we've been seeing some solid striper action in the Cape Cod Canal area, with plenty of activity around the structure. The stripers have been responding well to artificial lures, particularly working the channels during the tide changes. Bunker and herring patterns have been producing consistently, so if you're throwing artificials, focus on dark colors and natural profiles that mimic the local bait.

For live bait, fresh herring and mackerel are your go-to's right now. The winter stripers are feeding aggressively as they prep for the deeper migration, so don't be shy with your presentations.

I'd recommend hitting Dike Bridge over on Chappaquiddick—the reports coming in show rewarding fishing there, especially during the slack tide windows. It's got good structure and the autumn bite has been carrying over nicely. Memorial Wharf in Edgartown is another solid option; you can grab fresh bait right there and work the pilings during the tide movement.
