Nantucket Sound Fishing Reports (July 2026)

August fishing report for Nantucket Island. For the light tackle anglers, the Atlantic Bonito showed up earlier in the month. Big Bluefish have been a constant with warmer water temps and more bait (sand eels). Stripers are being caught in the colder water areas off the East end of Nantucket. Offshore boats are having a banner season catching Giant Tuna.

Sure. Fishing has been really decent both inshore and offshore. Bluefin both giant and rec size to be had on bait/troll/spin locally. Bass transitioning from squid to sandeels and still productive on most tides under bird piles.
