Peter Sinclair and has son Paul went out on April 25/09 for his sons 11th birthday. Started out at key port for flounder, till the tide went slack. Then started to troll for bass on the flat by 19 on the reach channel, picking away at shorts and keeper bass. Then when the tide turned we set the hook and started to clam in the same area. Which ended the day with 10 bass, 5 keeper size and 5 shorts, releasing all fish but 2. Paul and Peter have fished from time to time but really never caught anything big in the past till the day. The pictures below with the smile on their faces says it all.
