Details:Right, let me start off by saying...I almost didn't have it in me to hit the banks yesterday. I had a couple of good sessions last week and weekend, but the early part of this week I've felt a bit out of it and not all together on par. However I recently got my last Christmas package, my new Dave Lane Hardcore Barrow from Total Fishing Gear and really wanted to give it a go. Also wanted to get a bit of a review on it for our site and a few others as well.

I am completely satisfied with it so far. It is quite well put together, handles a good chunk of gear and folds down to fit into most cars. So I set out to try it out as well as bank a few nice fish, or at least try to. Was a good day on the banks and nice to hang out with smckenna1212 (Sean) as well, next time is yours bud...

The Mistral baits were working well for me and I managed 5 fish, most in the average 8ish pound range with a second 15 pound, this time a mirror, coming to me out of this hole in less then a week. I know the 2 resident 20's are not far behind..I can feel it!

Anyway I kept the video short, aside from my review of the Dave Lane Hardcore Barrow because I just don't feel all that great and while I had a good day I am tired and really hope I'm not getting sick..blegh.
