Welcome to the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby's Website!

64 years of great fishing, great friends, and great memories!

Welcome to the 64th annual Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby.

It is a time when all are able to refocus on the natural beauty of this island sanctuary. A time to lessen one's monthly commitments and enjoy the best the island has to offer.
