Dear Fishermen and Friends, Wind, wind, wind will be the theme of the week. This will give all of our boat fisherman a bit of a pause. We are looking at average winds of 15-20 from the East. We’ll have a bit of a reprieve on Sunday, but otherwise, it sounds like mother nature is […]

Dear Fishermen and Friends, Albies, otherwise known as False Albacore, are on everyone’s minds these days.  These fish are inedible and can drive you mad with their elusiveness, but when you dial them in, boy is it fun! I have heard some outstanding reports in the last couple of days. We’d hoped and expected them […]

Bill Fisher Tackle/Outfitters Fishing Report Bill Fisher Tackle Dear Fishermen and Friends,   Fishing is still really really good.  Bonita and Bluefish are very active. Bass have not figured out it is August and still here in good numbers and we continue the best bottom fishing season we can remember- ever. Seriously- it is awesome! […]

Dear Fishermen and Friends, Most fishing locations have four key species, which they consider a Grand Slam.  On Nantucket, we consider a slam to be, a Striped Bass, a Bluefish, a Bonito and a False Albacore.  As a Fisherman, I hold September sacred for a variety of reasons.  The weather is generally perfect.  There is […]

Dear Fishermen and Friends, Our calendar is way off this year.  Typically, I can predict within a few days of when fish will arrive and when fish will start to dissipate.   This year is anyone’s guess, as everything seems a little wacky.  Bass were way late, but have never left and continue to be awesome.

Dear Fishermen and Friends, Fishing continues to be really, really good and we continue to be surprised by how good bass fishing is, despite 70 degree water and being two weeks into August.  After writing this report on a weekly basis, I keep having people come up to me to ask if bass fishing is […]

Dear Fishermen and Friends, It’s August.  What does that mean… It means that the population on the Island will double and it’s an even better reason to escape to your favorite fishing ground, where you can enjoy the natural beauty that the Island offers.  Fishing continues to be excellent and most of our fisheries are […]

  Our fishing report last week came about as negative, because compared to the weeks before, the fish were scattered and the Striped Bass catch rates had fallen.  Amazing what a week will do.  The fishing in no way is electric, but bluefishing has improved, some bass still linger, bottom fishing is excellent and the […]
