Hooked Up
September 9, 2025
From our September/October Edition of the Martha’s Vineyard Magazine:
What to do, where to go, what to see, what to read, and more.
Those who spend time in nature know there are endless pleasures to be had this time of year. Maybe it’s harvesting cool-air sweetened tomatoes from the garden or hearing a chorus of throaty honks before seeing a V of geese sail by overhead. But there are few moments more thrilling than feeling that tug on the line that says you’ve hooked a fish. For eighty years, anglers have been rising early for the chance to catch a big one and enter it into the Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby.
This year, the event runs from September 14 to October 18. The weigh station is open from 8 to 10 a.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at Derby HQ on Dock Street in Edgartown. Happy fishing.
