Your Trip To Cutty
 

Larry,

I already spoke to Don about the trip several times, can't get it out of my blood and I fear that Ross' invitation will spoil me forever ... hmm ... I wonder what kind of job market they have out on Cutty? ...

... anyway, the weed, was it everywhere you went or was it limited to one side of the island? Our trip is about two weeks off, so I'm not expecting the same conditions, however, can you easily fish one side of the island or another? I know transportation is all on foot, but how is getting around the island? I'm a stubborn and determined angler who just wants to catch fish, so I will walk through fire to get to fish.

Andy....we walked alot of turf and left no stone unplugged! The weed was definitely a negative factor. The sun was bright during the day with no cloud cover what so ever so naturally the fish were not that active. Metal lipped swimmers would have been the order of the day as I did get a nice fish on one of the few weedless retrieves I made however I dropped it!:rollem: By night the bite was just as slow and you needed swimmers to raise the fish and the weed prohibited us from using them as much as we wanted. You will fish mostly the eastern portion of the island....follow those that are in your party....they have been there or at least a few of them. Plug every boulder you can and leave none unplugged.:rocketem:

the one time I have fished there at night from shore, my copies of a predator were the only plug I had hits on so I will have the "Alien" in my bag this Sept. when I return for sure.

Inner tube. We use it when we're shooting birds in mud. slide the inner tube over your boot. Holding it out in front of you, give it a half twist, so it looks like a figure 8 now. Now run it through your boot again, so it catches your boot at its narrowest point. Holds korkers on nice too.
