Sights like this is motivation to go tomorrow for sure. I fished the upper Saturday. But going to focus on mid to lower instead. Maybe a short stop by the canal at the end if I have time

That's even nicer than the one I kept! Excellent catch!

Great report Rod! I was out as well on the 8th for a birthday fish and enjoyed some action from the ho's   This was the one I took home, which ended up being my largest to date at 31"

Nice fish, nice reel, nice going, I am on my way shortly.

Hue-Nut, What kind of line are you using on your Islander?

Hue-Nut, What kind of line are you using on your Islander?

15# P Line Hydro Float, with about 5 feet of 12# Seaguar Flouro nail knotted on there. The line is a spectra fiber with floating coating, so there is no stretch and a nice drag free drift.

Chrome...I am just finishing building a Sage VT2 1384 8w 13'8 8w 4 piece...blue blank with royal blue/gold wraps.  It was tied and has a handle for a center pin.  I'm considering selling it immidiately, email me if you are interested.

Thanks

Hue-Nut, did you get a scale on that beauty by any chance? Looks like she's around 10lbs or so

go for the 13ft 3power. i got one and love it.

Thanks Gooey but I'm really particular about the components and styling I want on my rods. I have a short list that I'm interested in and since GLoomis no longer offer blanks, the GLX STR1563 is one on my list.

Chrome, I've got the 13' which is fricking money! My other rod is a Sage 3106 and it does not see too much action anymore. I hear ya about the sliding rings,  I nearly lost a beauty when my reel fell off and I ended up having to strip the fish in. (I have the sliding rings figured out now and cinched on there good) I do think that it would be tough though to have a fixed reel seat because you may have to adjust the reel position depending on the weight that you're gonna throw. A 20g float is actually quite heavy to toss, I am using a Raven balsa 16g and its about perfect for my liking. Also the rod is unbelievably light which is tight cause I had a 12'6" that was so tip heavy I shied away from ever using it.

nah don't have one but my largest hoe to the beach by length and my eye

I use a 13'(4-10lbs) float rod  with sliding rings(taped down) for steelhead and the length is sweet for control but I know the GLX is definitely a step up. 

The control is great but hooksets even better, miss so many fish when I bring the 10'6" out. I was lucky enough to pick the rod up on ebay for $350, from a steelheader in NY, used once with the price tag still on it.

its a factory rod, 3106 L I think, whats yours?

[HOOK]

Mine is a Sage 3113 M brown blank custom built.

3106 L sounds good to me ;-) lol

edit - your rod is also a pin rod isn't it ? Guess I need to pay attention more at 1am when I'm reading. I'm looking for a baitcaster Sage for trade actually as I'm done with pinning
