I've been jigging (the canal) for a few years now but I would like any insight or tips that can make those long nights more productive, don't get me wrong, I usually pull at least 15-20 keepers a week out of (the canal) but any info can be helpful

If you can catch that many you don't need any help.:confused:

Ask Jim Powers I'm sure he will let you tag along.:D

:D


Yo, Canaljigger. Keep mentioning ( ?) on line and you can ask the 50 guys that will be standing next to ya.

As well as the 20 guys trolling wire between you and the end of your cast :af:

And maybe someone could put a bunch of lobster pots out there to help out.

:doh:

anyone have any tips on how to fish watch hill? i usually pull a good 25 keepers a week out of there, but i want to make my nights more productive. :smash:


oh yeah, i'll add this to my places to try this season........ :laughs:

Would that be an additional 50 to the 50 that are usually there? 15-20 keepers a week in that one spot?? WOWSA!

Canaljigger---when I first started posting I 'cooked a spot' too. Shake it off, but don't do it again. After you've navigated the site a little you'll figure out who fishes in the places that you like to fish; then simply send a PM.

Someone remind me to post pics and an aerial map of a sunken jetty I fish and pull nice fish at. :p

sorry to all you fellow canal guys, i guess i wasn't thinking, just dont tell bob at redtops he'll never fish w/me again

can someone tell me where pips is !

I like to see who would win the tug of war if JPowers snagged one of those 50 lb wire lines with his 65 lb braid and a locked drag. I know I would help him keep from getting pulled in, and maybe the 2 of us could change the course of the boat enough that they would fish elsewhere.

T.Lap...I'm pretty sure it not there,,,100% shore now that I think of it.

CJ...so much for fishin with Bob.

Canaljigger, welcome to the site and what kind of equipment do you jig with? Line? rod? reel? what weight do you toss? Do you fish at night?

Man, I gotta get working on that Craftco Internet Spot Blocker software...:rolleyes:

LMAO....thats a good one Crafty!

Flip Thomas may be old, but he'd have your head if he knew you babbled about his spot. ;)

canaljigger,

No worries. If you're @ (?) that often, most of us probably recognize you by sight . It'd be difficult to burn (?) at this late date anyway. The place is highly visible ( campers) - pull a schoolie and guys materialize outta nowhere. Goes with the territory. It's a shame the place is so damn crowded because I think it is one of the best places on Cape to see the sun come up.

Yah Pips is always very crowded. I rarely fish there but go there to talk with the guys after I'm done for the morning. Mentioning specific spots on the web is not a good idea. There are tons of lurkers out there that will never post. Many of us will e-mail each other on spots and techniches but don't post it for all to see. A newcomer coming on to strong is a turnoff.

boy did I learn that the hard way! :smash: :D

where is pip's rip? is this a secret honey hole only frequented by those in the (wink wink) know?
must be a dynamite spot for you guys to be jumping all over a new guy like that. somebody? anybody?

don't worry about it blackeye, the place only gives up schoolies and occasional keepers. It's a coffee shop and a place to use binoculars and trip over thousands of yards of line caught in the rocks, and it doesn't really matter where it is or isn't at.

It's a place where your fishing buddies rescue the rod you left behind because you caught a 30#er and left in a hurry.

:laughs:

:laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :laughs: :happy: :smash:

So did I!:(

awe comon how many really fish the rip--most go and fish the little beach or further down the jetty.I haven*t gone down there except in the fall since they dumped all the rocks down the path that went down there at the light.

I think it's pretty tough to burn that spot. Just about everyone in MA knows about it and access roads lead right to it! I don't think I've ever had a night there alone.

Sure....., a lot of spots are KNOWN ( due to access and visilility).

But how many spots are "outed" as keeper city ? I think that's the relevant point.

Me......, I don't care about fishing this particular " outed " spot anymore. I do clean it up all the time ( how many can say that??) - by pulling miles of mono/braid outta there almost every damn weekend.

SO when we going fishin?
