Those of us who have fished the derby and those of us who have fished the derby know just what a special event the MVSB & B Derby really is. This year after changing houses and staying with a new group of guys my brother and I fished harder than we ever did before. Less social activities around the abode made for more time up on the beach with rod in hand.

It is abolutely the most awesome of occurences that FISHON and DRUMCORPFAN did what they did. Fishing the Vineyard can be the easiest fishing in the world or it can be the hardest. Either way, it is extrordinarily rewarding and that is so well short of winning vehicles and boats.

One thing that stands out here is that it sounds like Sandman put these guys on the fish. Is that true? And that NORTH SHORE hint..mmmm..sounded like someone throwing the rest of us off the trail for next year. Anyone for stashing a GPS in one of these guys boats or san sleds. They certainly are the go to guys for fishing info on the rock from now on. Again congratulations.....wtfg.

Congratulations to both of you, I can only imagine how you must feel! Awsome job!

swimmer,

That is not true. These guys put themselves on their own fish and caught it their own way. If you knew me you would know I don't throw curve balls or mislead others about who where and when. I'll either tell you or I won't. I just like to fish and be around others who are just as into it as I am. I enjoyed meeting and fishing with them. If you don't think I didn't try to bump either of them off the board...you really don't know me!!

Give me a call next derby, lets fish.

Sandman, thanks for showing us those secret stealthy haunts and don't worry those roads were so confusing a blindfold was not necessary.

Swimmer, although Jim came over the house and gave us a quick history lesson and a little road direction I.e. access he did not just guide us to fish. We, the five of us studied maps and tide charts and debated each day and night what was our best bet. We also walked mile upon mile of sand and rock to get to the fish. We would also split up to cover double the ground. Everyone put in a lot of time and effort and came away with a story to tell the grandkids.

All and all I am so glad for Keith and Leo I am still in shock. Def. couldn't of happened to two better guys. My only question is how are they going to top it.
