It's been about 10 years since I've been to MV in the spring, but we used to get a lot of big bass soaking fresh squid (just jigged from Edgartown Harbor) off the structure of South Beach--our favorite spot was around the pond opening. With all the squid that seems to be around the Island this year, this would seem to be a good bet. Bear in mind, in the mid to late 80s when we did this, the bass stocks were nowhere near as healthy as they are now.

Try to be out on the beach before first light, and about an hour before dusk.
