Rain and wind flood Week Two of the Derby - MV Times (opens the original)
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
Sherry Countryman lands a new state record false albacore - MV Times (opens the original)

Sherry Countryman woke up on Thursday morning and headed to her boat, Surprise Catch, with her fiancé Steve Brink and friend Mel Ben David.

Fishermen all over the Island are spooling reels with new line, changing out hooks on favorite lures, stopping into Coop’s, Dick’s, and Larry’s to check out the latest lures in case any of them look like the winning lure, preparing trucks and boats, and running
Fair, friends, and fins - MV Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wow! What a week we had last week. August tourists. August heat. Ag Fair. And … fins. Many of us were filled with unbridled joy when rumors of bonito from shore were confirmed and then witnessed. 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. The only morning I skipped the beach was Thursday, when I picked vegetables from my garden in the rain and drove up
