Last twelve days of the derby this year, hope I can afford the gas. Who else is thinking of going this year? My brother and I will probably cut expenses this year to make ends meet to get there and back. Eat on the cheap, no tackle expenditures on-island and so forth. If anyone is going to be there from the 8th to the 19th of October maybe we can all get together.

Sept 20-27 for me.
First time fishing on the island, been there many times though in a previous life (booze, broads, and raceboats). So input/discussion threads would be appreciated. Thanks to Swimmer and SKD for their replies over the past year planning this.

the Basic Fishing Shack will Open on Sept 21st and close on Oct 12th

I can't wait

going over for a 4 day weekend from sept 26 - 29th

Any thoughts on the first week in Sept.? I have the oppurtunity to go over for a week. I was there end of june/beginning of July and did great. Thanks!

First week has always been good for both bones and albies for me. Should be able to nail some bass early or late especially if you have a boat and can hit the Elizabeth's, Nomans, and other traditional spots. Can't fish the derby this year due to an earlier fall lacrosse schedule....sucks.

Anyone want to share some info via PM as to access and how a first timer might put a game plan together for areas to target???
Maybe the boss would allow us to utilize the Cuttyhunk forum to discuss??? The password feature there would keep info from prying public eyes, so as not to spotburn...
