There are a couple of openings available for this trip, one I have run for a number of years. Life, family, jobs, or the lack of one, has gotten in the way of a few who were planning on going.

So...some details;
Ferry over from New Bedford Friday morning, return midday Sunday, parking at ferry lot, runs about 80 bucks round trip.
Two nights at the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club. $100 per man per night, or $216.00 with tax.
Everyone buys and brings a food/drink share that we figure out. About $40.00 (That's one of the main reasons for the Cuttyhunk forum, getting the logistics/food organized) We cook for ourselves and grill, with full kitchen access.
So before you figure new gear, or eels, it's about $340.00 for the weekend.

Everyone gets a bed, most are double rooms, and there's the apartment. But I have the whole Club reserved, so no one there but us. No slackers, everyone chips in. We clean up as we go, not at the end. Period.

There are no vehicles there. If walking is an issue, you are out. That said, while there are a couple fine places to fish within fairly easy walking, the best jewels of the island require a hike, and then navigating some always moving bowlingball sized rocks underfoot. We have all taken tumbles there, especially at night when you are tired. Just want that said before anyone considers this trip. We all rely on each other, and fortunately we have not had a medical situation to deal with there, because we would be all you got.

There isn't anything to speak of on the island except a T shirt shop and a small thinly stocked grocery. No restaurants, nothing.

The best part is stepping back in time, with a bunch of guys who are there to fish, period. This is not a drinking trip. We are there to fish. Drink when you get back (see above) I will let other veterans of these trips chime in, but for me, it's like being back in a fraternity. Awesome times with awesome people in a place where you always have a chance of getting a trophy from the surf. And it's always cool to see the reaction of firstimers!

Please post an "I'm interested" below and I will bet back to folks via pm as I know what slots are definitely available. Also PM me with questions you have to have answered before showing interest.

Please, don't turn this into a free for all.....
