Go Fish
September 21, 2023
Little kids have their own fishing derby this weekend. Big kids are scrambling to find the best spots in the ongoing Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby. And fly fisherwomen can take a class from Kismet Outfitters at the Edgartown Lighthouse on Saturday. It’s enough to make anyone want to pull on a pair of galoshes, grab a rod and set bait to hook. There’s something to be said for an Island that honors a pastime devoted to patience and tall stories. But if fishing just isn’t your thing, you can get your fill of tall stories at the theatre this weekend or practice your patience on a pottery wheel. Read on for details, and find much more to do in the next week on The Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar.
