Hi Sherry--I looked for you in some of the old usual haunts while I was there--Menemsha, Memorial Wharf--but didn't see you and Roland. TimS and Dubs from StripersOnline made the trip with me, and they turn into vampires once the sun pokes over the horizon. I only went out once all week during the day and never even made a cast in the light. The board was down before I had a chance to touch base before we left. I wanted to get your phone# over there. I left the rod and plugs with Richie at the campground before we headed off-Island on Saturday evening.

We had some good bass action after dark--we fished Down-Island exclusively. Nothing huge, I weighed one that was 19.35 that didn't make the board for that day--a day before or after, it would have been second or fourth. Dubs had one that was 1/8th" short of 34" that would have finished second that day, but he did win a 2d daily bluefish with one about 10-1/2#. I took one fish the whole wek on eels, and over 50 on plugs. The bite died out on Friday evening, with the full moon and calm winds. Tim was the only one with good results that night, and he had to resort to the fly rod to get solid bites.

I'll e-mail you my address from home. Our office e-mail server is a disatser and down once again.
