Hey fellas,
I read about your intent to tackle Cuttyhunk and figured I give you my latest report. I was lucky enough to fish the south side of cuttyhunk on a rainy day with northeast winds while there was an especially large concentration of bass hanging around. Last friday a couple buddies and I trolled eels and tube'n'worm rigs in tight to the rocks and really did a number on the big bass. We took 8 fish over 30 pounds in 3 hours with the big fish being a 48" 42 pound hog, along with countless 20 pound class fish. The fish were stacked so thick amongst the boulders that I actually endeavored to break the flyrod out and and throw some feathers at them. This resulted in a fish of 34" but nothing larger. Funny how that happens, I'm still yet to master the long pole. Ive since heard that that push of fish has moved on but it might be usefull for me to note that west canapisit, the beach in front of the houses and along where the submerged ruins are, was pretty much dry, along with the pigs, which we fished only briefly. The fish were stacked thick right in the rocks cliffside. Goodluck to you.
