A trip to the island with the Cutty Crew is one of the circled events on my season's calendar for a number of years now. While you always have a chance at possibly landing a 40 or possibly a 50, that is not what it is all about. A getaway with a bunch of guys who are as into striper fishing, with the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club as our base of operation, is about having fun, laughs, stepping back in time and getting away from the real world for a short bit. We laugh, lie, tell stories, swap and ho', chit on one another, wreck stuff on land and sea,and eat like kings. Always someone willing to go out and fish with. As close to being back in a college fraternity as you can get at my age,,,The majority of trips have not resulted in large nor numerous fish. But there have been some nice fish caught. Last year some of us even chartered with a local captain. We caught fish and learned a lot about surf fishing the island from being on the boat.
You need to be agile to navigate the bowling ball rocks that are constantly shifting underfoot over 75% of the shoreline. If you aren't agile or up to walking several miles at a whack, you are just not going to be able to access some of the proven, mystical, island gems. You'll be pissed for not having built up to it, as many can vouch for.
My seven trips have not gotten me even a 20# fish, but I still look forward to the trip and being with the guys.
