The Kiptopeke adventure is over for 2010

Hey Guys,

Glad to get a reply from Benji White about Condo living. Wish it came when I asked BISC members for info several months ago. Unfortunately, I don't know nuttin' and I'm getting requests? The bay water temperature dropped below 45 degrees after December 1 and as far as I'm concerned, ended the COW fishing at Kiptopeke. Those fish caught in the 40+ class were far and few between. Maybe next year there will be some offers to join forces for a condo for 2 months, Nov and Dec so we'll meet the stripers head on. Or, maybe it's time to move to Deleware bay and try something new. Or is that Ruddee Inlet where the COWs might be sitting and waiting.

Could't leave this blog alone without mentioning again the breakfasts at J.H. West Seafood, Inc. Only a couple hundred yards up the street from the Kiptopeke Inn and a convenient breakfast/meeting place. Two eggs, two pancakes, 3 slices of bacon for $3 plus a buck for coffee. The other great evening/lunch is Kelly's Butternut Pub in Cape Charles. It's a place you'll remember long after you've forgotten about the greasy spoon "Sting Rays". Up to Exmore, about 20 miles north of the Kiptopeke Inn, is another great eatery called "The Great Machipongo Clam Shack (6468 Lankford Hwy, Exmore, VA 757 442 3800). Had a great shrimp salad and stuffed flounder!
