Woods Hole makes an ideal jumping-off spot to some of the most productive and diverse fishing grounds in the Northeast, including Buzzards Bay, the Elizabeth Islands, the South Cape area and Martha’s Vineyard. The action begins in late April, when tautog gather on the shallow wrecks, rock piles and other structure in and around the Hole. For about a month, these tough and tasty fish can be taken on green crabs and clam baits fished on the bottom in 10’ to 30’ of water.

Striped bass arrive between mid- and late May, taking up station in the nearby rips of Middle Ground or off Nobska Light, where they can be caught on all manner of lures, including topwaters and flies when the fish are chasing squid on the surface. Casting poppers, soft-plastics, live eels and large flies along the rocky shores of nearby Naushon Island is another great way to score, with early morning being most productive. Be careful as you get in close to shore, however, as some monster boulders lurk just below the surface.

Black sea bass are prolific in this area, and can be taken all season long. Hard-bottom areas in Buzzards Bay will hold fish up to 6 pounds through June, but you’ll also find them in Vineyard Sound, including over the same shoals that hold fluke. To hook up, hop a two- to four-ounce bucktail jig tipped with a small piece of squid over the bottom.

Bluefish arrive in late May, and hang around all summer in the rips of Nantucket and Vineyard sounds. The choppers will take the same lures used for striped bass, and the topwater action can be explosive. Trolling slightly ahead of and parallel to a rip line with swimming plugs or parachute jigs can produce when the fish are holding deep.

Another local favorite is scup—an ideal target for youngsters. By mid-July, the bottom from Timmy Point to Great Ledge is literally paved with these saltwater panfish. Anchor just about anywhere, lower a hook baited with a seaworm or squid strip to the bottom, and watch your rod double over. Try Nonamesset Island or just outside Hadley Harbor if you want big ones.

Come late August, keep an eye out for fast-moving pods of false albacore and bonito. You can often encounter schools of the speedy tunoids among the moorings in Great Harbor, as well as outside Hadley Harbor, off Nobska Point and around the northeast tip of Nonamesset Island. Albies and bones can also be found throughout the Elizabeth Islands. Many anglers score on small, metal lures such as Kastmasters and Deadly Dicks, but a small, weightless white Slug-Go or Zoom Fluke can’t be beat.

Woods Hole is a census-designated place in the town of Falmouth in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States. It lies at the extreme southwest corner of Cape Cod, near Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands. The population was 781 at the 2010 census.^[1]

It is the site of several marine science institutions, including Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Woods Hole Research Center, NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center (which started the Woods Hole scientific community in 1871), the Woods Hole Science Aquarium, a USGS coastal and marine geology center, and the home campus of the Sea Education Association. It is also the site of United States Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England (formerly USCG Group Woods Hole),^[2] the Nobska Light lighthouse, and the terminus of the Steamship Authorityferry route between Cape Cod and the island of Martha's Vineyard.

History[edit]

Historically, Woods Hole included one of the few good harbors (along with Hyannis) on the southern side of Cape Cod (i.e. Great Harbor, contained by Penzance Point). The community became a center for whaling, shipping, and fishing, prior to its dominance today by tourism and marine research. At the end of the nineteenth century, Woods Hole was the home of the Pacific Guano Company, which produced fertilizer from guano imported from islands in the Pacific Ocean, the Caribbean, and the coast of South Carolina. After the firm went bankrupt in 1889, Long Neck–the peninsula on which their factory was located–was renamed Penzance Point and was developed with shingle-style summer homes for bankers and lawyers from New York and Boston. Notable property owners on Penzance Point at the beginning of the twentieth century included Seward Prosser of New York's Bankers Trust Company; Francis Bartow, a partner in J. P. Morgan and Company; Joseph Lee, a partner in Lee, Higginson & Co.; and Franklin A. Park, an executive of Singer Sewing Machine. Other notable businessmen established homes on Gansett Point, Nobska Point, and at Quissett Harbor, further from the village center. Irving Langmuir, the famous Scientist, also lived in Woods Hole and died there on August 16th, 1957. Before 1898 the Woods Hole Yacht Club was formed. In 1899 the Woods Hole Golf course was started. Around 1919 it was expanded to 18 holes. In 1976 The Woods Hole Foundation was created.

Geography[edit]

Woods Hole is located at the southwest tip of the town of Falmouth (and of Cape Cod) at 41°31′36″N70°39′47″W / 41.52667°N 70.66306°W (41.526730, -70.663184).^[3] The term 'Woods Hole' refers to a strait named Woods Hole, which separates Cape Cod from the Elizabeth Islands (specifically, Uncatena Island and Nonamesset Island) and which boats, yachts, and small ferries can use to travel between Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay. The strait is known for its extremely strong current, approaching four knots.^[4] It is one of four straits allowing maritime passage between Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound; the others are Canapitsit Channel, Quick's Hole and Robinson's Hole. Published yearly is the Eldridge Tide and Pilot Book, which has a detailed reference section showing the complex pattern of tides and currents. Ferries operated by The Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority run regularly between Woods Hole and Martha's Vineyard. The present Woods Hole, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority was formed from the New Bedford, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket Steamboat Company, which in turn was a consolidation of earlier companies dating to the early 19th century, just before the railroad arrived.^{[5][circular reference]}

Much of Woods Hole centers around the enclosed harbor of Eel Pond. The Eel Pond Bridge, a basculedrawbridge at the mouth of the harbor, allows boats to enter and exit the harbor according to a fixed schedule posted on the side of the bridge.

Nobska Light, a lighthouse at Nobska Point, is operated by the United States Coast Guard, and the accompanying house is the home of the commander of the Coast Guard base at Little Harbor.

The local landmark The Knob is a rocky outcropping that overlooks Buzzards Bay and Quisset Harbor. It is a part of the privately owned Salt Pond bird sanctuaries.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the Woods Hole CDP has a total area of 3.9 square miles (10.1 km²). 2.1 square miles (5.5 km²) of it is land, and 1.8 square miles (4.6 km²) of it (45.24%) is water.^[1]

Falmouth Road Race[edit]

The annual Falmouth Road Race brings thousands of runners to Woods Hole in August each year. The route of the 7-mile (11 km) race starts outside the front door of the Captain Kidd tavern and follows the shore of Vineyard Sound through Falmouth to the British Beer Company, another tavern, in Falmouth Heights.^[6][7]

Education[edit]

The Woods Hole School is the home of the Children's School of Science. Founded in 1913, this institution (locally known as 'CSS' and 'Science School') provides science classes for students between 8 and 15 years old that focus on scientific investigation by observation. Students regularly visit ecosystems around the village to study the organisms in their natural environments, such as the Sippewissett Salt Marsh. The Children's School of Science draws upon the talent brought to the village by the research institutions but also educates the children of both scientists and locals. Some mention of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is made in the 1975 blockbuster film Jaws as having been the center of research for the fictional character Matt Hooper. Hooper is described as a marine biologist, focusing on the study of sharks. Coincidentally, a great white shark was spotted some years later near Woods Hole in September 2004.

Woods Hole is part of the Falmouth public school district, served by Mullen-Hall Elementary, Morse Pond Middle School, Lawrence Junior High School, and Falmouth High School.^[8] Woods Hole students also often attend Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical High School, Sturgis Charter Public School, and Falmouth Academy.^{[citation needed]}
