Rocco, it's a great place to fish and any striped bass surf fisherman should experience it before they hang'em up. As some folks have indicated it can be like the "girl with the curl" ie, either very, very good or very, very bad! And , if it is the later, your trip will be less than memorable. That's why it's a good idea to go with a group. I've had some super trips over there. Some of the best fishing I've ever had, but I've also had a couple of stinkers. My companions made said trips bearable, even fun. But , when you go out there you WANT to catch bass. So be prepared, do your home work. Yes, to do it right, you have to do ALOT of walking. A wetsuit is the best thing to fish out of. I will NEVER do Cutty again in waders.Time of year is also important but even prime times can be disappointing. Fishing anywhere is a crap shoot but you have to go out there at least once. . If you would like some specifics, give me a pm. Good Luck! PS, you have to stay at the Cutty bass club for the full experience!

Rocco, by the way, Cutty is a small Island but it can handle alot of surf fisherman. Everytime I have gone there, there has been over 100 surf anglers on the Island. Yes , I saw people fishing but mostly right before dark and up to about 11:00pm. After that the walking took it's toll on alot of the guys as well as slow fishing and many packed it in retiring to the Club for drinks and BS sessions. This left most of the Island free to roam and most of the time we fished in peace. Most of the guys go to and fish the west end, which is a hike, or right in front of the club. Sometime the fish are in both places but they do move. If you like to move around and fish some great looking water, Cutty is the place to be. Believe me , I could not fish there last season because of medical problems but I'm OK now and plan on at least 2 trips to the Island in '09. I can't wait.
