Nantucket Sound is a dynamic and productive saltwater fishing destination located south and west of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This relatively shallow body of water, bounded by Cape Cod to the north and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket to the south, warms quickly in the spring and offers a diverse fishery. Its waters feature a mix of sandy shoals, rocky outcroppings, and tidal rips that attract a wide variety of gamefish throughout the season, from migratory striped bass and bluefish to bottom-dwelling black sea bass and fluke. The Sound provides excellent opportunities for both boat-based and shore-based angling, with numerous accessible beaches and productive offshore structures.
