About this listen

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your Vineyard fishing guru, comin' at ya from the salty shores of Martha's Vineyard on this crisp Friday mornin', January 30th. Winds are light outta the northwest at 10-15 knots, skies partly cloudy with highs in the low 40s—perfect for bundlin' up and hittin' the water, though that potential weekend blow might kick up some chop.

Sunrise kicked off at 6:55 AM, sunset's lockin' in around 4:55 PM, givin' ya about 10 hours of daylight to chase bites. Tides today per Tide-Forecast.com: low at 2:11 AM hittin' 0.1 ft, high at 8:50 AM pushin' 1.93 ft—fish the incomin' flood from now through noon when currents rip and bait gets flushed. Outgoin' low later evenin' could slow things, but structure holds 'em.

Winter bite's steady but picky—Dick's Bait and Tackle reports tautog haulin' strong off the rocks, with blacks up to 5 pounds comin' on green crabs and fiddlers; stripers holdin' in 40-44 degree waters around Woods Hole, schoolies to 28 inches on GULP! eels or white bucktails. Blues are scarce, but cod pops offshore if ya brave it. Limits on scup and sea bass keepin' it legal.

Best lures? Jiggin' with 1-2 oz white or chartreuse soft plastics on a knife jig for tog and stripers—Cast Again Tackle swears by their hand-tied bass jigs. Bait-wise, fresh green crabs or bloodworms rule; chunk bunker if ya got it.

Hot spots: Hit the jetties at Oak Bluffs on the flood for tog ambush, or drift Vineyard Sound rips near Menemsha for linesiders—watch for that gear debris cleanup push from Mass DMF.

Stay safe, measure 'em, and release the big breeders.
