Fish beware, kids are lurking — and casting.
What a first week of the 5-week MV Derby! Lots of smiling faces as false albacore are keeping the daytime spin and fly fisherman quite entertained according to Janet Messineo of Martha's Vineyard Fishing Charters and Taxidermy. Fishing in the evening and into dark has been quite rewarding. Now that the commercial season for striped bass and bluefish has been closed, the only way to eat some nice fresh fish is to know someone who is fishing them recreationally.
The big stripers are confounding the Gay Head boat fisherman. Has the NE wind blown the fish back to RI? More shall be revealed. All in all, there are lots of fish to keep everyone in a good mood.
The Kids Derby was an incredible day that had hardly any wind and bright sunshine. At least 250 kids armed with 3-ft zebco rods lined the OB Ferry pier. Each child went home with something! An incredible day for all involved.
Check back every Thursday for a new report.
