In town jetties (on the harbor side wade out along the edge of the eel grass beds ) or brant point (deep no wading) are easy to fish. South shore madaket to nobadeer can be ok, just gotta do some walking and find some bars and points. There's surf all along on that side so you will get a little wet without waders.

Way more bluefish than bass this time of year...

I can endure a bit of walking, but we are going to take a ferry at 7 AM to Nantucket from Chatham and will be staying there for a day. I will be riding a bike canal style. Any particular baits I gotta match up with?

Muskeget island to the west of tuckernuck, west of smiths point is absolutely loaded with seals and pups after this recent population explosion. You can count endless pods going by the beach during the day. Of course july is the worste month to fish the island, and I'm sure there are fish to be had right place right time and We had for the most part really nice weather as well. But It was dead as dead when we were there. We werent able to hit Great Point becuase of the seperate 4wheel sticker which is porbly ur best bet, but I heard tales of ppl catching fish on the east and south side beaches. BTW we hit a few of those at sunset too lol. wont need korkers. just a place to rest your feet after

Aww, man. Damn -__- I am guessing that August will be much worse than July. Lol. I do hope that I will be able to find fishes on the island regardless. Also, I pray that I will have a sufficient time to enjoy and catch them.

Really???! I haven't seen that show this season. Maybe I'll catch a 15 minutes of fame on it. Hahaha.


Ditch Jigging and JohnnySaxatilis, what lures would you guys suggest me to carry? I'll take a pic of what I plan to pack then y'all can tell me which to exclude and include this and that if it won't take much of your time.

actually im told august gets better with the blues as the month goes on. If you fish there you know 90% of the poeple you see will be throwing orange/neon rangers.... I'd pack some 2-3oz pencils, and some heavy tin like kastmasters or hopkins, polaris, bucktails, things that go far, the surf can be big

Sweet, I think I'm going to get a neon ranger. So far I have an orange one. I have one AH 3 oz yellow pencil. I hope that it's sufficient. I definitely got enough tins.
