The surf scene here (MV) is slow but picking up. (I am VERY encouraged by your report!) I have been going 3 nights a week for a few hours to keep my pulse on the situation. Chappy has been dead and most of the fish have been comming out of squibby and I think these are still the resident summer fish)

I moved my boat to Menemsha and I have been fishing the elizabeths...casting eels into rocks with good success. (God! those islands are beautiful!) Broke off a bunch of big-ones and landed a few in the high 20's along with some nice blues on nearly every trip. Got fish at every spot I tried.

I have witnessed some amazing surface takes within a few feet of the boat...really amazing.
