We used to meet you guys in the parking lot at HOM. Lotsa fish out there then...it was a fun time.

I try to get down every chance I can get. If it makes you feel worse, I was on my way there to take a Sous Chef job at a pretty famous restaurant in the 90's, and stopped in Burlington, MA on the way for another interview. I never really "left" the interview and started work the next day.

I can get to Wellfleet in two hours from Waltham, so I try to go for at least two weeks in June, then again weekends in September every year.

I feel like I get as much time in as I need.

I have lots of good friends at the Cape, some are gypsies, like marky, the Kulis brothers, and me, really.

Long term vacationers, like 5/0 and TTB, but I never see those guys, and fun residents like Guppy, Bruce, and Rich Wood.

My problem is that the fishing heats up on the North Shore at the end of June, and I can be there in 45 minutes. Makes for easy day fishing.

Maybe Mom and Dad will be selling the Bomba compound in two years and make the move full time. If that happens, the die will be cast. I will spend way more time down there, and find a way to parlay a little bigger boat.

You just hit the nail on the head why I stopped going south in summer/late spring.... it seemed every time we spent the weekend at the cape.... the fishing here got white hot...so now a days I fish @ PI and vacation in Maine...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Rich Wood, the captain from P-town? GREAT guy. I have taken my family fishing on the Beth Ann 3 times, he has a great temperament with little kids. That was the only downside of this trip, my scheduled charter with him got blown out and we couldn't reschedule.
