I'm taking the Alert II ferry overe to Cuttyhunk for a day of fishing. First time so I'm not sure of the layout, I know it's not a big island but my question is would It be helpful to bring a bike with me to help cover some ground. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Bike would be marginal. Yes, you could cover more territory on the mainland side of the island from Crescent Beach to probably the monument and the Vineyard facing side from before the Cutty Bass Club to Can-o-whoopass but from the Bass Club to the SW point, the area of the bass stands and south, there is no legal access thru the bird sanctuary to get to the water. Acutally running the bike on the beach is not practical...

As far as theivery, I don't think the bike would be touched as there has not been any larceny since GB left the island

Thanks for the advice. I noticed from the pictures no waders, would you bring them next time? Also I intend to travel light so only one rod, would you go with 9 or 10' to throw topwater stuff.

We brought our waders and had every intention of using them....but with all the walking we did scouting the island out (walked no less than 10 miles over the entire place) we would have sweat our butts off! Next time we go we will carry our waders in a bag and put them on at the spot we choose to fish. More night fishing next time......day fishing was great though when we found them! Where are you staying?
