    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Just as the Derby was heating up, the fish were biting, and the leaderboard was changing like a roulette wheel in Vegas, the winds of change blew in. Can we collectively say, “Wow! What a weekend!”? Wind gusts over 40 mph, road flooding and closures across the Island, canceled ferries, boats docked or pulled from the water for safety, and six days of interesting fishing. Keith Krogslund weighed in a 5.11-pound boat bluefish on Monday, Sept. 21, and that was the last boat fish weighed during Week

    Fair, friends, and fins - MV Times (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

I, for one, grabbed my rod and spent almost every morning and some early evenings casting in and around Vineyard Haven and Oak Bluffs, as well as a glorious Sunday morning at Lobsterville.
