MENEMSHA BEACH near Chilmark

MENEMSHA BEACH

This part of the beach turns on at dusk and at dawn like clock work but some time it can be an all night blast.

MENEMSHA DOCK near Chilmark

MENEMSHA DOCK

We call the dock "the aquarium"
because the lights attract bait fish which attract huge stripers.
you can catch fish all night if you got the fly they want. I've caught over 70 fish in a night here.

MENEMSHA BEACH

This is the far end of the beach that is very rocky but the water is very clear and huge stripers will swim around the huge bolders looking for a meal.
