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

Sand bars, shallow coves, and beachfronts provide skinny water sight fishing - the pinnacle of saltwater angling.
An archipelago of quiet rips and clear water off the Vineyard's western tip — false albacore territory.
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.
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!
