Martha's Vineyard - Thursday, June 19, 2008

I did my usual slog through Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven, hitting my favorite spots on State Beach, Lake Tashmoo and Vineyard Haven harbor. It was slow going for most of the evening, seeing no rises and very little bait, until my last (return) stop at the Little Bridge. As I went over the bridge to park, I distinctively heard the tell-tale splash of a fish hitting bait at the surface underneath me. It was late and I was running out of steam, but quickly managed to land two decent size fish (and missed another ... must have grabbed the tail of the fly). Both fish were caught w/ the infamous "striper crack" fly on intermediate line.
