With the Crowds Gone, It’s Down to Serious Fishing

DateFriday, September 21, 2012 at 12:00AM

 

The Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby, as the tournament is called, is no ordinary contest. It lasts five full weeks, enough time for participants to lose themselves completely in a compulsive competition that turns their lives upside down. At the same time, it knits the local community of 15,000 full-time residents back together after they lived among a population that swelled to 105,000 at the height of the summer.

    Response: Derby? Just Show Me the Albies
    by T Gregory at Flogging the Waters on September 21, 2012
    I have been fishing on Martha's Vineyard for over thirty years now. It's no wonder that this time of year if I'm not on my way to Lobsterville, on the jetty, or trudging back through the sand thinking of dinner, I feel a little strange.
