THE SEASONS |

|
Striped Bass are our all time favorite from Spring till Fall. The Bluefish are abundant
from the middle of May throughout the Summer and get really huge in Sept. through
Nov. (from 10 to 20 lbs.), just in time for the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby,
which is the oldest and largest tournament in the northeast. (picture above was Capt. Buddy and
the 57-lbs. "Derby Winner" Striper). Fluke fishing is incredible from June throughout the summer,
averaging from 2 to 10 lbs. and occasionally a doormat, like the 17.5 pounder that one of Capt. Vanderhoop's
clients caught. The Scup (Porgy) and Black Seabass fishing is also superb. Shark fishing will be "on fire" starting July. The Offshore Big Game Fishing is phenominal,
lots of Tuna (Yellowfin up to 150 lbs., Bluefin from 40 lbs. to 175 lbs.,
Longfin Albacore and Big Eye Tuna), White Marlin, Blue Marlin, Dorado, Wahoo & Huge False Albacore (Albies) are all targeted at the
canyons on the Tomahawk with amazing results.
All three Tuna species and Dorado are profuse from July through the end of Oct.
