LOL

Never in all my years have I been told about the cost of the chappy ferry going up and down like that? SOmetimes they may make an error for the number of other people in the truck(3.00)each and 10.00 for the truck and driver. I think that's what it cost? ( buy the pass,next time) cheaper!

Also I have never been asked to pay extra to get over early ?? That just sounds crazy. But I was never in line that early this year.

Plus, how can he turn around 1/2 way across when it's being pulled by a cable ? lomfa

Glad you had fun

Interesting story. The chappy ferry is the biggest rip off on that island. They do have a borderline mobster dealings early morning. Thats why when I was down there a few weeks ago I insisted on driving over nortons point (now that its finally opened).

THe skunks on the island are more aggresive than the main land because the have no real natural predators. I have had more than one altercation with them before. The barracuda type thing you talked about i saw as well. We were fishing the gut and I snagged one by accident. It looked like a huge needle fish except with large teeth. I have fished the island for 20 years and I have never seen them untill this year.

Strange thing is I had to come back up to Boston and the south shore to get into the larger stripers. It was spotty at best when I was down there. I got a feeling its going to heat up this week into november

The mini barracudas are northern sennet

Great fishing with you at Wasque, that place looked like PA on opening trout day, but it was fun. I liked looking down the line and seeing about 15 MSBA people casting and retrieving their arses off at the albies. This was my first trip to the Derby, and I had a blast. Nothing big bass wise but it was a good time and I loved getting to fish so many places I had read about. That and picking up a mystery prize for the bone I wieghed in, nice keepsake for my first derby...... We fished hard and had a blast doing it....
