Although it was forecasted to be 15 knots and gusty out of the east, my brother had an opportunity to get out there. Since I had worked all day Saturday this past weekend and my brother with 4 kids had a chance to go, I knew we had to give it a try since he doesn't get to go very often. Fished shell point, put in around 9 and off the water at 3. Found the Reds pretty thick on some oyster bars wanting mirrolures. Only caught one trout all day, it went 20 inches and was right in there with the Reds.

Ended up with our 3 man limit of reds (my Dad went too) and the one trout. Lost the biggest red of the day, biggest one we caught was 26. It was a productive trip and a good test run for my new lean bar. That thing is gonna be SWEET for sight fishing!

Nice job, guys. Solid day on the fish.

Luc, your lean bar is looking good. You might check out an Ace Hardware. They have a variety of rubber caps that'll fit the legs of your casting platform so you can really be stylin' and not scratch your deck.

Tight job.

I really appreciate the pics of the sissy bar (okay, I will call mine a lean bar, but everyone else's is a sissy bar :lol: ). I am getting ready to add one to my poling platform. Exactly what I had in mind.
