Nantucket Fishing Report: 8/29/08
It’s been a great week for fishing on Nantucket according to Captain Bob DeCosta of Albacore Charters. The bluefish are still everywhere around the island. Striped bass are starting to show in good numbers off Sankaty Head and in the eastern rips. The Bonito are thick on the west end of the island between Smiths Point and Tuckernuck. Black Sea bass are on all the wrecks in the sound. Offshore the bluefin tuna fishing is red hot to the east of the island. This last week was the Anglers Club Shark Tournament. The guys caught lots of Makos ranging in size from 150lbs to just under 300 lbs. The biggest fish of the tournament was a 414 Thresher shark. The day after the tournament Capt Doug Smith fishing aboard the Albacore caught a 363 Mako for his charter. If you want to see big fish, now is the time to get out there.
Check back every Friday for a new report. –Tee Clarkson
