On a brant shoot years ago just south of Cedar Island VA, we backed the boat up against the west bank of the inland waterway and set our rig according to the wind. As the tide began to fall out the brant started flying and the water level fell, exposing a nice little oyster bed around us. As I recall we had some cheese, saltines, tinned sardines, and fresh apples. We hove to and gathered a dozen oysters or so from the bottom and had a lunchtime feast. The only thing missing was some shaved onions, lemon wedges, coarse ground black pepper and some Verve Clicquot Ponsardin yellow label. Managed to shoot a limit of brant, too!
