I will be going to Martha's Vineyard for a week of flyfishing from May 28 to June 4. I have a rented house right on the beach between Dogfish Bar and Gay Head cliffs. The cost is $500.00 for the week, plus transportation there and then we all chip in to buy food. Bring your own beer or booze. I have been hosting these trips for the past 20 years and know the island very well.
For those of you unfamiliar with the island, it is one of the few top shelf saltwater flyfishing destinations in North America. The house will accomodate 6 comfortably and 8 in a pinch. I have a tentative 4 people committed, but may have two drop out if a certain medical test is bad for one of my buds. Let me know either by B-mail or post. I will get my phone number to you to confirm details or ask questions. Total cost should not exceed $700.00 per person for everything depending on your spending habits. By the way, anyone who enjoys gourmet cooking, please apply!![smile]

Sounds like an awesome trip. I'd consider going if I weren't going to be in the keys. If you do these every year, keep me in mind for the next time.

That's one of my favorite places on earth to fish. I would like to do it but not sure if I can that week. It's too soon. However, I have some questions about the house. Is it $500 for the whole house or per person? Is there any vacancy a little later in the year? When do the prices go up? My girlfriend's parents use to have a house around South Beach. Ofcourse it's gone now but it was fun while it lasted. I would visit once a year towards the end of May for a week and once in the fall. Most nights I would drive all the way across the island to fish Menemsha and Gay Head. But that was until I discovered Monomoy. It seemed that menemsha and Dogfish Bar was strictly a night thing, even that early in the year. With a boat it would open up more options but Monomoy is strictly a day thing. Much easier on the sleeping habit.

I would be interested in renting a house a little later in the year in that area. Could you please forward me some info. Thinking about July 4th week in Chatham but I may change my mind, quit my job and head to Martha’s Vineyard.

Thanks in advance.
