I'll just add that after staying in "The Fishing Shack" for a few weeks last year, I would certainly do it again. Unfortunately this year I’ve already spent a good lot of my vaca and will only be on the Vineyard for a week this year unless something changes.
The things I liked:
-Great group of folks (guys and gals): I got to meet and fish with folks I only knew vaguely or had not even met before and all of them were a joy to be around. Everyone seemed to share with rides, advice, tackle, chores, the works. They made time spent there a complete pleasure.
-Location: I like to fish the entire island, boat and shore and this location was really good from that perspective. There was also a good mix of folks that fished both boat and shore. No matter how you want to fish on what day there is usually someone that is interested in doing it with you.
-Price: Not a bad deal at all.
-The food: As long as you are not a vegetarian or watching your cholesterol then you should enjoy this part.
-Roomate: Johnny Cherico was a great roommate.
Things I didn’t like:
-Catching “the virus”: Whatever it was, it sucked! I was literally on my ass for 48 hours or had my head, “previous reference” or both stuck in the toilet. Not a pleasant experience. I think half the house got it at one time or another to one degree or another. Whatever it was I hope it does not show again this year.
I’ll try to stop by to say hello at some point. I’ll be staying on Oak Bluffs Harbor again at my usual spot and will have my boat in a slip. As always, if someone in the shack wants to come out for a day and boat fish give me a shout.
