This past weekend I fished Cuttyhunk with other members of the Connecticut Surfcasters Association.  I have been a proud member of this great club for many years. This was the first time I fished Cuttyhunk with them.  We stayed at Pete’s Place Rentals, which has great private accommodations. Overall, this was an amazing trip!

The island was surrounded by bait. Several of the CSA members spotted hickory shad, sand eels, and some squid. I fished several of my custom-tied teasers on my smart teaser system. The teaser that drew in the most fish was my sand eel fly teaser.

I went “random” for my roommate, who turned out to never have fished Cuttyhunk before. On my first trip to Cuttyhunk, no one helped me. I stumbled along the rocky shoreline and learned how to fish Cuttyhunk by myself. I was happy to “guide” a fellow surfcaster on Cuttyhunk. He not only landed his first fish on his first trip to the toughest place to fish on Cuttyhunk, the South West Point, he also caught more fish than me!

The CSA has been running trips to Cuttyhunk in the spring and fall for many moons. If you are not a member of the CSA, I would recommend joining. If you would like to fish in Connecticut, Rhode Island, or Cuttyhunk, then join the CSA and go on one of their club-organized trips. This was my first CSA Cuttyhunk trip, but it will not be my last!
