Cuttyhunk sign up whos going?? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

GBOUTDOORS · 01-17-2002, 01:55 PM

This would not have to be just a one shot deal but lets start with the first weekend in June. We could go over on Fri or Sat. you do not need reservations for the ferry so if you had to cancel last min. it would not cost you anything. I will go over on Fri. for sure so anyone that came over would have a place to hang his hat and we could fish fri. sat. and sun. morn. the boat goes back at 3 and back at New Bedford for 4.

Tattoo · 01-17-2002, 02:00 PM

I'm in! Is tenting allowed out there?

JohnR · 01-17-2002, 02:04 PM

That weekend is my wedding anniversary so that might be tough. Last year, she let me go away for that weekend but I don't think I can push it two years in a row. But....

GBOUTDOORS · 01-17-2002, 02:06 PM

No only on your own land and I don't mind but we would have to do a little clearing.Or we can just put some tents up in the yard its good size. That would be easyer but wuold not get our lot cleared!

GBOUTDOORS · 01-17-2002, 02:09 PM

John I would be glad to have you go over with me for just one night and I could run you back the next day. Would that work for you? If not will still do this weekend and you can pick the one you want to go.

If this works out we can make it a regular thing that way if you miss one you might make the next.

JohnR · 01-17-2002, 04:21 PM

Sounds excellent (I know Clamdigger is probably interested too)...

GB - I'm definitely going, but not sure when. If I commit to the weekend of my anniversary, I'm likely to come home to a bunch of 2 or more piece rods made out of what was once 1 piece rods

milo · 01-17-2002, 04:56 PM

Pick me Pick me,

Crafty Angler · 01-17-2002, 04:56 PM

GB -

Thanks for the kind offer - I'd like to throw my hat in the ring, I've never been there.

If I am booked to work that weekend (which I'm not now) I'd be able to give ya plenty of notice.

Thanks again,

TheSpecialist · 01-17-2002, 05:46 PM

I'm there that place looks so inviting.

I am sure C-RAtt would want in.

Fish_Eye · 01-17-2002, 06:03 PM

Hey, What's the big deal about Cuttywhere?

There's no fish there.

That's why I'll be on island that week anyway.

Slipknot · 01-17-2002, 06:18 PM

Love to go! thanks GB

If there's room , I'm game.
Or I will bring a tent with me and skip the bike.

And if Fish Eye is going to be there that week looks like I picked the right week. Seems to me I remember the first week of June as one of my favorite times to be on the beach.

Clammer · 01-17-2002, 06:57 PM

Yes,Yes< Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just one question !!! 1St weekend in june isn;t too early for the island????

last year we went on the mystery trip at the Cape, we left fish here and except for a very short blitz at dawn, the rest of the day ZERO // We were aweek too early ////// later Mike

GBOUTDOORS · 01-17-2002, 07:13 PM

What do say Fish Eye are we to early?? I used to do good on the south beach all the way to west end of island first of June infact I looked it up and my notes from back in the early 80s say June first to the 6th was when I would catch my first Big fish of the year.

GBOUTDOORS · 01-17-2002, 07:32 PM

yes this is me 21 years ago Clamdigger check the dates on the photos.

GBOUTDOORS · 01-17-2002, 07:39 PM

These were the last two years that I was on the island to fish. What a idiot so much lost time.

Got Stripers · 01-17-2002, 08:36 PM

Oh yeah, I'd be interested in a big way. Probably too early to try to get out with the boat too, the weather that time of year can be iffy sometimes. What about running a boat over that time of year? Is it too early ie; weatherwise too iffy for a small boat?

redcrbbr · 01-17-2002, 09:14 PM

oh please, please, please, can i huh??? sorry to sound like i'm begging, but i will if need to

it is truly a very kind and generous invitation and i would very much like to join this great event. thank you gb

Clammer · 01-17-2002, 09:25 PM

Got Stripers I am taking my boat over for the weekend 1851 cc striper seaswirl. If you want to you could bring a boat I do have one morring pole in the harbor infront of the house but the water gets low with tide out no rocks just mud but only about 2' at low. Red Crbbr your from Westport? I am next door in Fairhaven. Clamdigger what kind of gps you looking at? I have a Magellan 315 hand held and a Garmin 128 fix mount on the boat. Of the two I like the hand held the best as it goes with me everywere. If you realy get into the gps look up Maptech searver on the internet it is a great chart site that is free and get this if you look at the bottom of the chart screen as you move your pointer over a rock or reef it will give you the long/lad of that spot to the foot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

redcrbbr · 01-17-2002, 11:05 PM

yes gb, live near horseneck beach, and look at cuttyhunk almost every single day. thank you again. hope to meet up with you at the msba show. already started checking out a few spots. you might like this one

GBOUTDOORS · 01-18-2002, 07:11 AM

Good site I had not found this one yet you can zoom in better than most I have seen thanks.

Fish_Eye · 01-18-2002, 08:15 AM

Once Tattoo and others find out that Cutty is a "dry" island (no blueberries...at least no blueberry beer) you might have to start scratching names off the list

Seriously, the first week of June is great, BUT the last week is fantastic.

It sounds like we have all the makings for a pretty nice tournament...what do you think?

GBOUTDOORS · 01-18-2002, 08:34 AM

OK so no brew but lots of fish and fun and Fish Eye is right could this become the first annual Striped-Bass.Com tournament on the island It would be up to John if he wants his name on this thing or not? Maybe he should wait to see how this one turns out first. I know the CT. surfcasters have one out there every year. I e-mailed them to see if and when they would have theirs but have not got an answer since last week. The date can be changed to other weekends in June but I think we do want it in June. If every one on the list I posted will pick a weekend I will go with the most popular is that fare?

Tattoo · 01-18-2002, 08:53 AM

A DRY ISLAND????

Who the....What the....well, there cant be any place better to be in detox.

Looks like Iron Mike is out huh???

Maybe Uncle Crafty can make an extra stong version of his chowda.....Now Crafty....you need to put more magic juice in the pot rather than in your glass this time....
