Weekly Podcast Host

Cuttyhunk is a small island at the westernmost tip of the Elizabeth Islands. The cliffs of Aquinnah at Martha's Vineyard are visible from Cuttyhunk's southern shoreline.

This small little island is full of character, peace and quiet, and fishing opportunities. Last week a group of anglers from My Fishing Cape Cod surfcast the rocky coast of Cutty, and in today's podcast we'll cover what they encountered and experienced.

This podcast was recorded on Thursday July 23rd, and it will be a great listen for anyone interested in learning more about Cuttyhunk Island. We talk plenty about the island's fishing opportunities, but we also cover accomodations, how to get to the island, and much more.

    • Jake, my favorite of your Cuttyhunk photos is Katelyn crawling up the road to the top of the hill. Looks like she was about 2 years old. Probably chasing after big brother Ryan!

      • Those were some fun times! Lots of great memories at Cuttyhunk Island. I’m sure many people reading this can relate. ?

        Here’s another of the Cuttyhunk one room school house. Most of these kids are from my dad’s middle school on a class trip (the Cuttyhunk school only had 1 or 2 students at the time).

  • Janet is a natural! Hearing her on the Podcast is just like listening to her in person! Such a delightful woman!
    Now everyone can see why I am so blessed to have Ned as my friend and fishing partner. So knowledgeable and gifted in figuring out what we are seeing in front of us on the beach.

    • Great podcast!
      Thanks all. I think Ned was my science teacher at The Peddie School in the nineties. Was that you Ned? Love to catch up and fish sometime. Thanks again for all the Cuttyhunk intel all!
