Going over 9/26 to 10/4. Just changed return from 10/3 to 10/4 (why leave Saturday when you can stay till Sunday?). Tina (wife) going with me so we did a timeshare exchange into a small place in Vineyard Haven (but it is the Derby and being there is more important than accommodations).%$ Just found out Friday I have to go to Chicago for the day Monday 9/28 and booked 7AM flight from MV to BOS to Chicago(paying my dues). Will be off island one or 2 other days but will try to get in as much night fishing as possible (and maybe some daytime Albie, Bone and Blue time in as well.%$ Will bring the fishmobile (2 wheel drive) and fish a few spots accessible with it as well as looking to off set somebodies gas / Chappy Ferry and Beach Permit expense to get out to Wasque if (when) necessary.I learned a lot fishing with Patrick and several of the Shack folks (especially about fishing hard) over the last few years and look forward to seeing them. Truly nothing like fishing the Derby and though I look to relax and enjoy it the fact is fishing hard (really hard) to land the fish of a lifetime is a big part of the equation.
I have a few of my Big Fish Metal Lipped Swimmers (among my "go too's" ready to go along with several others including several of my Dad's Darters, new Long Pencils (as recommended by DJ) and needles. Also too many other plugs and plastics and metal to mention, but choosing the right one is part of the fun (especially when you choose right and nobody else has).
Good Luck to all.
Bill
