Your Fishing Forecast for August 27th and 28th, 2016

Cooler nights seem to have gotten baitfish moving and improved the fishing around the Cape and Islands. Peanut bunker, silversides, and sand eels are drawing stripers, bluefish, and bonito into our inshore waters.

The Hooter buoy 3 miles southeast of the Vineyard has been a hotspot for bonito this week, but they are also being caught in Vineyard Sound on Hedge Fence. If you get out this weekend, keep an eye out for false albacore, which have been reported off State Beach.

Schoolie stripers and bluefish are chasing bait on MiddleGround and throughout Buzzards Bay. Bigger bass are being caught at night by shore fishermen jigging in the Cape Cod Canal and surfcasters fishing the cape cod bay beaches. Boaters vertical jigging off Chatham are also making good catches of 20- to 30-pound stripers.

Bottom fishermen continue to do well in Vineyard Sound on a mix of black sea bass and fluke, and 20 to 30 miles south of the Vineyard, you’ll find plenty of small, colorful mahi hanging around high-fliers and buoys.
