This is a rollup of posts I've made on other boards about well-known Nantucket spots accessible without 4WD. If you have access to a 4WD vehicle, reply in the thread or PM me and I'll give your more. These are flyfishing recommendations. Plugs and tin are equally effective.
You can walk from town to Jetties Beach on a coming tide at dawn or dark and catch large fish on the outside of the west jetty with sand eel and silverside patterns. With Korkers and a life vest, you can walk further out the jetty and nail albies on white bunnies and sparse surf candies. You can walk to Brant Point lighthouse at dawn and compete with the bait fishermen. Lob big eel or sand eel patterns into the holes created by the ferry propellers. You can drive or bicycle to south shore beaches at Tom Nevers and Surfside and Miacomet and Madequecham and walk onto beach and catch fish in the wash. You can drive out the Eel Point Road to the 40th pole and hike a little bit to flats where you might still see a few cruising bass. There are plenty of places to fish on the island without four-wheel drive.
Go see Bill Pew at Bill Fisher Tackle for current advice. He's just out of town on New Lane. He’s a wonderful outfitter with years of island wisdom. You can even rent equipment from Bill. If you’re considering a charter, look up Tom Mleczko (
