Derby Stories

[stripermaineiac]

Ouch. Yrs ago I was heading down when I saw what looked like a rod leaning against a guard rail. Pulled over an backed up to check it out. It wasn't 1 rod but a barecrafter rod rack with 4 rods on each side with ,you know the old gutter mount ones. I had a big white ford van at the time. I put it on my roof rack and headed to Woods Hole. I let a cop know that I knew on the PD there. He told me to hold onto the stuff and he'd put the word out. I was on the Island for a couple days and stopped in at Derby Jacks. I'd spread the word about the rods an rack around. The owner knew about the rods as the owner that lost them had written them off when he found them missing and bought a pair of Cleight Hoyle rods from him. We connected at the OB weigh station and the owner an rods were reconnected. Haven't seen the owner for quite a while but he sure was happy to get his stuff back.2 yrs later he place in the Striped bass shore catgory.

As we all know M V has a lot of fishy spots. Some of them are easy to get to on main roads, but some of them you have to look for signs or rocks or markers and in the middle of the night is to say a little tough. One night my buddy Leo [ drumcorpfan] went to look for a new place this new place was a little dirt road in the woods, the sign we were looking for was a gator sign. needless to say, it was quite the ride. going down a one lane rd : trail: in the middle of the woods. we found it. a trail ill never forget.
