Anyone fishing the vineyard?

[Mr. Sandman]

Surf action for bass has slowed terribly on the eastern end of the island the last couple weeks. The western end is doing better but it ain't gangbusters.

Comm bass guys are doing 40 bass/night with ease from the boats off the western part of the island. Guys just getting into it are getting 40 fish. Lots of big fish over 40#. It is not nearly as good down island.

Blues are around but kinda small 3-5# class in the rips but don't seem to be close to the beach.

Bonito just showed. A few have been caught in the bluefish mix. No great number yet...everyone is waiting.

Flukin is very good in the sound.

Scuppin is hot everywhere there is seawater.

No bluefin or yellowfin in CenterConsole range yet. (but any day)

So, I would fish out of Menemsha if I were you.

Chappy should be re-named: Mung City. It has been messy since that last blow...and no one is doing much fromthe surf...that could change when it settles down a bit.

good luck.
