COWHUNTER GIVES UP SECRET SPOT - ULTIMATE BURN -- DON'T TELL!

[Fish_Eye]

Thanks for the continued interest in "Stripers Gone Wild." I'm in the process of finishing it and hope to add another chapter on a secret spot I call Cuttyhunk. This will mean that this epic DVD will have taken five years to produce and it should cause the meltowdown of DVD players from coast to coast. I promise you that this is the most informative and most entertaining fishing production you have ever seen. I hope to get it in the stores in November. At the same time I'll be starting the re-introduction of the old videotape titles as new and improved digitally remastered DVDs with lots of additional footage.

I'm also putting together a new show for the upcoming Winter show season, so make it a point to visit me in Worcester or perhaps the MSBA show -- call me on that one Patrick!

For your viewing pleasure here are some shots of the best striper surf on the planet.

Here is where I caught bass up to 59"

I've seen and videotaped dozens of COWS swimming around the massive boulders. I've also fished here and caught nothing. I've also been diving here when I couldn't find anything but stones -- no fish, no bait, just complete desolation. You're typical HOT SPOT!

Hmmm....I seem to remember...

I’ll be selling the DVD through a number of Striped-Bass.com sponsors and it should be ready before the end of January. - Mike Laptew Jan 1, 2004

Mike is that Nov. 2005? I think I can see some of Slipknots foot prints on the shore in that picture. He was carrying that big plug bag and must have weighed 500# as he walked the shore leaving prints in the rocks for ever as a sign that he had passed this way.

spence,

I know this project was suppose to be finished a long time ago, but as a great artist once said, "Art is never finished!" However, enough is enough and now I'm doing the balancing act of removing some footage to make room for even better shots gathered over the last year. All this while balancing a Mom-in-law that's been very sick and doing a lots of work for Crocodile Bay Lodge in Costa Rica. Keep the faith!

Nebe,

I know not of what you speak.

Here's a little more spot burning on Cuttyhunk.

Everywhere you turn on Cuttyhunk you see promising water; you can't help but dream of trophy fish coming out of the waves and inhaling your plug.

A view of Nashaweena Island just before sunset


From the bluffs you get a great view of Martha's Vineyard and Gay Head Light.


There's amazing wildlife and bird watching on the island. It's not just a fishing destination, it's a sanctuary away from the curse of modern technology: cell phones, text messages, voice mail, computers, airplains, trains, cars, deadlines.............


A church with a striped bass on the steeple is my kind of church.

Hi Mike! didn't realize you were on this board. I have "Stripers in Paradise" and love it. Although I would like to see more surfcasting footage, will this new one have more? I understand it may be tough, especially with these spot burning battles going on. Awesome pictures by the way!

nib you gave me more than a plug. And for that i returned the favor. The combination changes every month, but the numbers are all the same.

Keep it those #'s to yourself and the contents will always be there for you.

**Steve baldwin made that striped bass weather vane on top of that chruch. He was a great friend of my gramps.

Come on slip post ur pic.the art of travelin lite.

[Slipknot]

[Fish_Eye]

I call this shot "Stairway to Heaven," because it leads you from the back deck of the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club where this stone laden beach was once home to the old "Home Stand" fishing stand.



Here's a look at the rocks that supported the iron legs and wooden planks where the pioneers of surfishing and past American Presidents once fished.


The Gay Head Light on the Aquinnah Cliffs can seen in the distance.


Iron Mike once took a 60 near this spot.

Don't expect me to put an "X" on the exact rock...besides, I moved it

I realize that a well produced and documented DVD take time but my interest has dwindled considerably since it was expected to be delivered in early 2004.
