Back from Cutty with Afterhours and may I say........"My Gawd"! What a beautiful and fishy looking place.....we had a blast! The trip started out with us arriving at the ferry pier to depart on Wednesday morning with plans to return on Thursday afternoon........
......well......it was only then that we were informed that the ferry would not be returning to Cuttyhunk to pick up passengers until Friday afternoon!
Oh....what to do....what to do! So Don and I cast caution to the wind with only one nights reservation and no answer at the Fishing Club to see if we could extend our stay one night and decided to chance it and head over anyway! We would sleep on the beach if we had to! What would you all do?
We walked no less than 10 miles in 2 days, covering most of the island and seeing all there was to see including 2 deer mid-day on Thursday...one of which went well over 200 pounds......what a beautiful sight! We fished many spots and found little action....at first......and then Thursday morning we found a spot that was consistent on topwater and proceeded to have our lures viciously attacked by hungry and aggressive schoolies for the most part.....Don worked the fish over good with his junior spook and me with my pencil poppers....we would catch all fish with these 2 plugs! We both had lots of swirls and tail slaps but I mustered 7 fish all schoolies but great fun and Don landed 9....2 keepers and the largest of which you will see in the photos to come. We just enjoyed Cuttyhunk for all it was worth, scouted quite a bit and were happy to catch fish!
Pic 1 is a view from the high point of the south west end of the island overlooking Grosnold Tower.....what a view!
