MyFish,
ANOTHER very good article, yet more things to think about and improve my chances.
Many thanks for the time and effort you put into these articles.
So you have fished the Vineyard?? I love the place, especially during Derby time. Have you ever bumped into a guy called Cooper Gikes?? He runs a bait and tackle shop just outside Edgartown. Coop is a absolute legend, every time I thought I had finally caught a good fish, he would smile and show me one 5lb or more bigger. I learnt so much from Coop's night time sessions and Jamie Boyle during the day. Cape Poge Gut and Squibnocket Beach are about as close to fishing heaven as I have ever found.
Not many places in the world where you can (and do) catch Striped bass, Bluefish, Weakfish, False Albercore, Bonito, Spainsh Mackerel, Fluke, (and spider crabs & Terns-don't ask!!) in a day. Especailly as all you need is the know how-free fishing rocks.
