Yeah the Cuttyhunk Open is the annual competition with the Connecticut Surfcasters Association, the Cuttyhunk Rod & Gun Club, and anyone else who shows up... It really is every man for himself though. The clubs do like the bragging rights of course...

The 2003 Open (7th Annual) is tentatively set for September 26-27th. 5pm to 5pm (as always with an awards cookout afterwards). Love to see S-B representing...

Love to see S-B representing... :drool:

OK - who wants to take these guys & gals on :hihi:

I think you guys were there the week after us last year for your Tourney. We were there weekend of June 15th.

We were also there the first or second weekend (I forget which) of September 2002...

It has been in the Fall the past two years. It originally (first four years) was in June. Last years fishing (see video) was the best yet. In fact, Saturday morning at dawn on October 5th was possible the greatest two hour of shore fishing I've seen on Cuttyhunk in many years...huge bass on poppers in a 25 knot smokey sou'wester... Awesome!

I'm in. :D

Cuttyhunter I am in for the fall derby as a S-B member Bill if you wish you can ride with me!!! May have to put a tent up on the hill side land this year as the house may be GONE:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :eek: :eek:

GB - I'm with you. I'll be dusting off my tent too... And if I'm REALLY lucky, I'll have a boat to take over - so I can SURF FISH :D ...

Funny thing is, I was talking to Tattoo a couple months ago and he was suprised when I said I'd but a boat and one of the things I would do is use it to get to Cutty to surfcast :p

John you are right there is somthing magical about sufcasting on Cuttyhunk I have done it since I was young and still like to fish shore when I am there:confused:

http://www.connecticutsurfcasters.com/

I've e-mailed more then once last year hopeing they would send me info on the open....with no response. Good to hear they're still at it. paaa lease may join ya's:

Don't worry Clamdigger, I'll go over with you and I got the plugs we'll need covered :D as long as there is room in the boat :smash: :bo: :boots:

slip,not a problem, its all sandy beachsand right????

alot of ice in the cove today/////////

:laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

Dang those Connecticut Surfcasters are going to be in trouble. Looks like we got ourselves a team.

I may not be good but Im willing ! Did someone say camping on the hunk ? I hope it doesnt rain too hard .

think i'll bring pizza this time.. the pizza man never delivers

you guys are in sept allready and i havnt even planned spring yet!!! how far is cuttyhunk from cape and is there any ramps were you can leave truck and trailer overnight allweekend down near cape then on cutty can you put boat up on beach or is there somewhere to tie up id be willing to take pepole over if conditions are right

Pizza pizza , get your red hot pizza . How do you take your Red ? how about a white clammmer pie ?

OK - after all of the requests, here is Cuttyhunter's video (thanks dude!):

Cutty Tournament (http://linesiders.com/video/tourney_short.mpeg)

And an amazing note: look at the weight of the largest bluefish and tell me that wasn't a fight!

Let me know if there's still room!

I'd like to cut my teeth at Cutty!...

Great little video...looks like it was fun...I gotta get to Cutty:bo:

JohnR,

That bluefish was length not weight. All fish compete based on length not weight because it's difficult to carry fish around on the 'hunk since most everyone is on foot. A lot of people like to catch and release and not everyone has a scale handy. I should also mention that it is all beach fishing - no boats. I've attached last year's flyer so you can get a sense of the rules.

2002 Flyer:

John, U cant goto Cuttyhunk without your cousin Dave from NJ bro:D . I wanna go reaaalllllly bad:laughs:

I wish I was there that morning you rocked those fish. But Rich R dragged me out on an all nighter. I am not complaining I got a 41" fish and Rich got a 40". I would have given my left nugget to see what you guys did that same morning we were just coming back and hitting the sack. Right place, right time epidemic again! One of these days I am going to hit it just right! To all the SB folk here if you guys enter and you do better then the CT Surfcasters can I jump ship and come to your side? :D Seeing as I am a long time member here lol. I can tell I am getting old, my back took at least 2 days to get back to normal. Hey Cuttyhunker when you going to make me some nice sidewalks to and from the bass stands????!!!!! At least give us a golf cart 4x4 permit :)

JohnS

Sorry Cutty - I think in pounds :D

Dave - no relatives in Jersey, but hey - you're a vet, that's worth some slack ;)

JohnS - Sure you're not going to feed info back to the other side(s)?

Damn I love that place! Even has easy & productive spots for fat guys like me :D http://www.striped-bass.com/images/cuttysept/threesisters1.jpg

Gentlemen - I'm seeing a challenge mounting here :kewl:

add one for most fish///////////////////////////

I'll sell my soul to the devil to fish over there, contest or no contest.

Mike, I borrowed your picture.

:happy: aaaaaaaaw yeah baby

ahhhhh yes

:smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash: :smash:


Stop please stop it's too far away to be talking about it now.
Now I will be dreaming about Cutty every night till we get back there.:(

I hope I can make it this year, just need to get a house sold, relocate, move, yeah it will happen:(.

GS - move south, not north :D

Ok heres the plan for 2003. The house has been sold so we will need to clear the land up on the hill to pitch a tent just to stay out of the rain . I am thinking of going over in May for a weekend to clear a spot on the land, if anyone would like to go I would love the company. I think we can then do a June derby as we did last year and another in Sept. and then the Ct. challenge in Oct. if thats when they are going if its ok with them for us to join in the fun. I am looking at a new tent that will sleep 12 and should have it by then. We will also have a golf cart or a quad for our use for the old timers. Goose one good thing the land up on the hill has a path that leads right to that point of rocks:D :D I hope we can still use the Nor-Easter shuttle but I hear he is looking at changing boats so we will have to see. But Donna Hunters son runs a shuttle at the time you want and would be about the same price if need be. The Fri night over and Sunday morn. return worked good what do you think? I have talked to her about it already and was told it would be no problem if need be. So we will wait to hear from Chet and go from there. I have a list of those that asked last fall to go agian and would not tell anyone they could not join in but would need to keep it to 10-12 like last year if possible. I found that to be a good and manageable number.

IN :D - Depending on when in May, I can likely come over & help - depends on the wife's work schedule as she does one day on weekend :(

John I was planning on getting you and Clammer over more this season. I think I have worked out another pole in the harbor for the season for use by any S-B member that would need to use so long as I got a few days notice so as not to have more that two show up at a time. I would like to see if we can find someone with a dingy that they might like to donate to the cause that could be left on the new pole so no one would need to take one over each time.

I have dingy :D I'll ask my friend if we can use it.

8'-5" kinda beat.

Greg if I can help in May, I'll try.

GB,

In 99% sure that the 2003 Cuttyhunk Open will be the last weekend in September. As a representative of the Cuttyhunk Rod & Gun Club, I (Slater Anderson) organize it with Rich Russo from the CSA. Any S-B guys are welcome to participate as is any one on the island at that time. The Open begins at 5pm on Friday night, so you guys will need to get there sometime before that to take full advantage of the 24 hours.

John Paul Hunter (Donna's son - as you probably know) is a good friend of mine and I use his water taxi services regularly. He can carry up to 16 people and it cost $18 a head each way last year.

I'm curious what house you're talking about that got sold on the island? Sarmento?

Greg I'll gladly help.It's the least I could do to repay you back for last year.And tents,I have a few of them and one is pretty big.Do the lures go with the house:smash:

He said yes , need a pick up.

Greg if all is well i,ll be there for you in May//==========take Buckies

I'm in for the clean up in May, and Slip, I got a pickup. If mine is too small, I'll get my old mans.

As long as work doesnt interfer then I want to help clear the land of brambles in May . I owe you big time Greg !

Greg I may also be able to help out in May. The only problem I forse is my Anniversry on tthe 21st, if that is a weekday, then the weekend after is with the wife.

You guys are the greatest and no one owes me anything it is I that got the most out of last years two Cuttyhunk trips not only did I get to the Island house a few last times but I got to be there with the nicest bunch of fishers that I now can call my friends. So please it is my pleasrue to do it all over agian this year :D :D My father is turnning his share of the Island land over to me and my sister so this should keep it in the family forever. Maybe next year a nice 28x36 summer cottage/fish club on the land:D :D I will take you all up on the offer of help and Slip the dingy would be great we will work on it.


Yes everything in the house went with it but someone took all the plugs he could find from the house the day before Thanksgiving:D :D :D :D they should look good hanging in the new cottage up on the hill.

:D good going on the pluggage Greg:happy: Those are some fine pieces of history, at least you have that.


Greg I may be able to fit the dingy in my van on an angle so I can get it to my house to change the gunnels and fasten the seats better, but it floats so what the hey.

Slip I can come up with the pickup and get it with you any time you wish just let me know. Thanks this will be great.

:happy: Greg I think you can find all the labor you need for whatever you want to do out there, right here.

Mike the herring sounds like a good idea and with your boat and mine we could take over enough bait for some real fun. Yes Bill you are right and it will not take all that much to clear a spot for the tents as I had a good flat spot all clear a few years ago so I am thinking a little cutting and alot of fishing!!!!!!!!:jump:

Greg, it's been an honor & a pleasure this past year :D

... and good work on liberating the plugs

Plugs what plugs:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

dingy is at A&J in Marion just to let ya know. It shouldn't take much to get her ship shape, a little mahogany, a few screws and a coat of varnish on the new gunnel.

If I make it out there this year I want to fish where Fish-eye fished :D

whatever you need Greg//

HOOTERS????????

Clammer - you want to open a Hooters on Cuttyhunk :hihi: ?

Slip - is this a classic wooden dingy?

how about
Cutty with Hooters & Stripers

OR "" "" Foxy & Strippers

:cool: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

John, it's glass. only the gunnel is wood. But yes it is classic.
It has some repair to the bottom where my bud accidently ran it over with his 33' boat while negotiating the mooring:smash:

Hey there GB
I can give you a hand clearing some space in may, i know you want to keep the group the same as last year, maybe keep me on a list for next time to go. but i can bring a chain saw and my back to help you out for now.:D

Yes on the May labor land clearing for me. The sooner you finalize a date, the better. Lemme know what you need for tools, etc.
And don't leave me out on the new cottage construction either GB. Maybe a kit home would work! How about a log construction project! PM me anyway.
And of course I would welcome any chance to get back for a fishin' fling with you all too!!!
Sending reel back to Okuma tmw for rebuild or replacement. Will update as soon as I know.
Swapping weekends with ex, means I am in for Feb 15 if room. PM me please.
Thanks
Ross

Thanks Ross and DRUMCORPFAN I will put you on the list to call for the May Cuttyhunk fishing clean up. Hope to see you both soon at the Feb. 15th ITS TO DAM COLD TO FISH get together:cool: :cool:

Greg, ...believe it or not, I can do more than dishes :D :D

I'd LOVE to help, and I won't even fish :eek::eek: except for @ night - :heybaby:

Not many members know this but, GB is "ONE OF A KIND" :kewl:

I don't know many people who would invite - literally, strangers to his home, let alone trust them to roam anywhere they'd like...lead them to some select HOT-spots, take them for tours of the Islands on his boat, tidy up the house for us while WE fished ...provide a washer/dryer...grill, stove...my God, I could go on and on, but I won't ..because I don't want someone grabbing my spot!!! :D :D

Thanks again Greg, because of you and your generosity..I've come to meet some great people - on a personal level, explore an Island that had been nothing more than a fish-tale to me. You helped make the internet more real than virtual for me..and I'd like to thank you for that....I'm sorry for getting so mushy on ya...:crying: I LOVE YOU MAN!!

..not taking anything away from my last post, but I couldn't leave that post alone without adding Bruce to the "One of a Kind" list. 2 Grrrreat guys, that I hope consider me their friend.

Thanks fellas... :)

GB,

Count me in on BOTH counts!

If you need help clearing land, simply let me know when, and I would be happy to help in any way that I can.

I could probably bring along a chain saw.
