east beach is loaded with shorts and shad
 

neither of which interest me. These were the smallest stripers I have seen all year.

I will head to Watch Hill at dusk tonight and fish it for a few hours and perhaps fish the island mid-week this coming week (for one night) if I can find the time to seek away.

I figure since the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& wanted to go to the island badly this week his buddies who are out there for a few weeks must have connected with big fish.

I must be cursed this year.
