What happened to the PC reports? I mean, fishing has been slow lately but the last report is from '11? C'mon on guys, give up a little something!

I have been going out and unfortunately, besides the occasional lady fish and a few cats, not much. I was more or less referring to no reports all year, but point taken...touche sir!

Rent a kayak over there... you don't need to paddle very far to find Reds & Trout,
can't help with wading not sure there is much in that area for wading, and be careful of the razor sharp oysters....
