Derby Fever Still Hot After Eighty Years
September 12, 2025
John Custer, president of the Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby and principal of the Tisbury school, said the lead-up to the derby resembles a student getting ready for the first day of school.
“There’s excitement, and then [it] kind of settles after that,” Mr. Custer said. “If you’ve done a good job preparing, things go smoothly, which is all we want.”
