Well,

Being an island there are not the normal fishing pressures that the mainland will get and, because MV is such an outstanding environ, Nantucket get's the snub when comparing area fishing.
As a local I am less than inclined to tell everyone about the islands secrets. Lou Tabory (Inshore fly fishing) spent a lot of time fishing here and that should tell you something

B Point does well outgoing, but, considering the late run this year it probably won't get any great action for a week or so more.
Right now, on the east side of the island, H20 temps are 46-47 degrees. Not many bass swimming around there !

Basically cut the island in half, North/South. Temps West are 48-50 deg (now), East of that is the previously mentioned. By Memorial Day weekend it hopefully will be 3=5 degs higher but wind direction and sunlight will determine that outcome.

Stop by Bill Fisher Tackle and Bill Pew will give you the skinny. He is an excellent supplier of swag and advice.

Best of luck !
