Tough call.

Cutty - easiest to go commando raid. Go for 2 nights, stay at the club, walk to everything

MV - so much diversity in fishing - it has it all - can be a LONGGGG vacation

Block, relatively quick access all around the island with foot/truck.

All three, very fishy. The bigger they get the more diversity they give forth. THe smaller the easier to work the Island.

All depends on what you are looking for. If i hit Powerball - I'd probably move to the Vineyard - Smallest Island with a good school system.

Not mentioned is Nantucket but for a shore angler I don't think it offers anything close to the other 3 islands...

A week on Cutty would be pretty tough physically. Tough fishing is best enjoyed in small bites. Other than fishing there isn't much else to do. I'd think it might get repetitive fishing it 6 or 7 nights in a row.

MV offers the whole package, though figuring out the access issues is difficult to say the least. Most people who live on MV would never consider going off island to fish for bass. You've got every kind of bass water you'd want, estuaries, inlets, pond openings, surf, back bay, rocks, moving water, still water, sight fishing, boat fishing, etc,etc, etc. There is also plenty to do nonfishing if you want. It is probably your best option, though hiring a beach guide would be money well spent.

Don't sell Nantucket short, it has easier access than the Vineyard and more consistent summer flyrod fishing, though it lacks the deepwater rocky stuff the Vineyard can offer (and seals can be an issue).

If I had 3 choices and 3 weeks to fish I would go to Block Island all three weeks, but I would no way in Hell go July 4th to Labor Day even if it was free. Cutty is a 2 day deal at best
