The Fishery

Host to one of
New England's most diverse
saltwater fisheries.

Martha's Vineyard sits at the confluence of warm Gulf Stream eddies and cold North Atlantic upwellings — a collision of currents that concentrates baitfish and the predators that follow them with remarkable reliability throughout the season.

From May through November, Jaime works four distinct environments: sheltered salt ponds, open coastal flats, the rips of the MV and the surrounding Elizabeth Islands, and the relatively close offshore waters for Big Game on Fly — each demanding its own approach, fly, and expertise.

Salt Ponds
01 41°21'N 70°34'W

Salt Ponds

Sheltered tidal ponds teeming with stripers on the feed. Think stealthy poling, shallow water, visual hunting.

Coastal Flats
02 41°22'N 70°38'W

Coastal Flats

Sand bars, shallow coves, and beachfronts provide skinny water sight fishing - the pinnacle of saltwater angling.

Elizabeth Islands
03 41°25'N 70°48'W

Elizabeth Islands

An archipelago of quiet rips and clear water off the Vineyard's western tip — false albacore territory.

Inshore Rips
04 41°25'N 70°48'W

Inshore Rips

A staple to the spring & early summer Striper migration - Squid. Martha's Vineyard's Southern coast hosts incredible nonstop action of striped bass on topwater breaching through standing waves. This is exhilirating action. When it's on, it's not uncommon for each angler to hook into 40+ bass and blues.

Offshore
05 41°25'N 70°48'W

Offshore

Thanks to the offshore capabilities of the Boylermaker (Jaime's 24ft Silverhawk), in the right conditions we can run offshore for endless opportunities - white marlin on fly (feeding them, not trolling), tuna, mahi mahi, if it swims out there it can be caught!
