Background
I have been fishing the north shore of Martha’s Vineyard since I was maybe 8. My dad fished the same waters for years. We fish for black Sea Bass, Fluke, Scup and anytning else that comes along. I grew up fishing lobster gear and still do to this day. One thing about fishing, you never know how the day will end! Always fun!
Techniques
We bottom fish for ground fish like Black Sea Bass and Scup. We use squid as bait
