BTW I love this site. I can't wait until we're all catching fish!

Sluggo-
I'll see you out there!
To find the really big stripers, I just take my high powered binos and scan the horizon for any sign of Capesams, then I speed out right next to him and cast wildly. You can try that too, he doesn't mind the crowds...
Just kidding Steve!
I love the Chatham area, and Nantucket for that matter. I learned about the area as a mate on a 31 JC called the Shanti out of Saquatucket Harbor in the late 80's. The boat is still around, but under a new owner. The original owner, Bob Lassen, passed away not too long ago. He was like a grandfather to me and I miss him. Everytime I step on my boat and head southeast from Bass River to those rips he taught me about I think of him. I had my greatest single day of fishing aboard the Shanti. We found the migration off Nantucket late in October, almost Halloween back in 1994. Birds, gulls too not terns, were wheeling and diving for miles and miles in every direction and we were alone. Great fish too, all 36-40" fish. We whaled on those fish until the SW wind became so bad that we had to leave. Those fish were still getting fat when we left.
Anyways I'm rambling..... I have a white 23' SeaCraft, we'll PM as the season approaches!
