Windwalker's Window to the Island - A Nantucket Real Estate Blog

100_2781The big news today is that the Bonita have arrived, swimming off of Nantucket property. There have been two confirmed reports from the “Bonito Bar” in Madaket this morning.

Local boat fisherman and those coming from their Nantucket vacation homes have also been doing well off Great Point, fishing on the bottom for Fluke and Sea Bass.

Great Point is now open again to Beach drivers, where there has been some good Bluefishing as well as along the South Shore.

Be sure to check with your  favorite Tackle Store for the latest hot spot or with your local Charter Captain for a trip to the “Bonito Bar”.

The good news is that fishing for Bluefish by boat off the South Shore and elsewhere around Nantucket property has been pretty good. The bad news is that they have not been close enough for beach anglers to reach them with any consistent frequency. For Nantucket beach house fishermen, in fact, the summer doldrums appear to have arrived a few weeks earlier than normal. The water has really warmed up which has made catching Bass off the beach during the day a difficult endeavor. Normally the Bluefish invasion would take up the slack but this has not been the case so far. To make matters worse, a large portion of Great Point has been closed off again to Beach traffic.

As the water warms up, Nantucket fishermen begin to think about the arrival of Bonita and False Albacore. We will probably have to wait at least three or four weeks for the Bonita although there has been a report of Spanish Mackerel being caught in Long Island Sound.

Bottom fishing for Black Sea Bass and Fluke by Boat continues to be very good and the wire liners are scoring off Sankaty and the east end of the Island.

As we have said before, the Charter Boat Captains and local fishing tackle shops know where the fish are and will take you there or tell you where to go so be sure to check with them.

sacred momentsNantucket summer rentals spark the interest of things to do in Nantucket. One of my daughter’s favorite teachers from her boarding school was planning an August trip to Nantucket with his young family. He asked her for a list of “non-touristy” things to do on the Island.  At first, my daughter was feeling the weight of responsibility and was perhaps concerned that her ideas might make or break her revered faculty member’s vacation.  But after our whole family weighed in, the list was proclaimed “the most awesome list ever” by her teacher.

The truth is that exploring Nantucket is as individual and unique an experience as the island itself.  Indeed, for Mr. K’s family, our list will be merely a starting point. Perhaps they’ll go crabbing at Long Pond, visit Cisco Brewery for a picnic and some live music, discover peaceful uncrowded beaches, have lunch on the deck at Miacomet Golf Club, or walk the tiny streets of ‘Sconset with an ice cream cone. But somehow I know they will discover sacred places and create memories all their own.  That’s the magic that is Nantucket.
