Shell Point/Oyster Bay 5-4-5

Post by Jumptrout51 »

A buddy of mine bought a house at Shell point. He called and asked if I would show him some in close fishing holes he could hit in the evenings.We took his 14' Carolina Skiff out of Oyster Bay and proceeded to hit 7 nearby holes. We made 15-20 cast on each hole and after he marked his GPS we moved on to the next spot. In every place we caught fish. We kept 5 trout from 18-21",and 1 Mack @ 14". Lost 1 red that would have been way to large to keep.

JT, When's he having us down for a housewarming party?
That's great he can just hop out and catch fish.

Hey. I just bought some new hooks the other night - can you show me a few holes in which to use 'em?
use your opportunities ...

Frank, I have to work occasionally to rest up from fishing.

P.S. Next Tuesday I am fishing with a forum member of dubious fishing credentials. I intend to put him on the best fishing holes. I'll let you folks know if he can fish ... OR NOT.

JT,
I too recently purchased a house at Shell Point, and um...I would like you to show me those spots that um...I could go right out and limit on trout, and hook some oversized reds, as well as the occassional mack.
In return you can stay at my "house" any time you desire, heck you can have your own key.
I'll show you the place as soon as we mark those holes, and head back to town.
Do we have a deal??? :D :-D

JT,

I've got a friend who has a place at Shell Point..........I'm sure I could talk them into letting you stay there free occassionally....that is, if I tell them I'll show them 7 nearby spots to fish in return :wink:

dubious fishing credentials

DANG - I'm the one with the new hooks AND I got in line first! With the hole in my head I need someone as auspicious, elustious, and wise as JT's help to catch any fish... He's a grand guy, worthy of most any honor we could bestow on him..

What time and where Steve?
