Pass Christian, MS. - We had just finished renovating an older ProLine 190 and went out to check it out with her first underway since I bought her and started giving her a makeover.

After checking all of the gear we headed out of Wolf River to see how the St Louis Bay was. It was a little choppy but out front was not as bad as the bay so we sent one guy home that lived close to grab some gear and we headed to Taylor reef on a whim. We lucked out! It was myself, the Wife, and my best friend with nothing more than market shrimp on the bottom. In just a couple of hours we picked up 1 20inch Red (the wife, of course), and a half dozen Specks, of which five were fat and big! Lot's of smallish Sheepshead and puppy drum and 3 HUGE Black Drum; one about 25lbs and the other two were over 50lbs! It was awesome to watch my novice wife catch her biggest fish ever (of course, she had the largest of the 3 big blacks). A couple of decent ground mullet and white trout to boot.

Although it was not a record setting day, it was awesome to be out on the water with family and friend and be able to put some decent fish on ice on her maiden voyage.

- will insert a couple of pics as soon as I download them.
