Wasque Point, on the southeast corner of Chappaquiddick, is legendary surfcasting water. The Wasque rip, where tidal current sweeps around the point and collides with the surf, is a shore-accessible version of the offshore rips, and it draws big stripers and hard-fighting bluefish within casting range.
The spots
The rip off Wasque Point is the main event, a defined current seam you can fish from the sand. Norton Point and the surrounding beach add open surf and the shifting cut that sometimes connects Chappy to the main island.
How to fish it
Fish it like a rip: position relative to the current and swing soft plastics, jigs and plugs through the seam and along the down-current edge. The tide stage that fires the rip is everything.
Tip Timing the rip is the whole game. Learn the tide stage that turns the Wasque current on, often the stronger mid-tide flow, and be standing there for it, because the bite can shut off hard at slack.
