Any luck in the ditch this weekend. Did good friday morning with ten fish jigging, biggest 25 Lbs. Stayed away this weekend with all the tourist showing up but was wondering if the fish were still around chasing bait or if the scared the bait out into the bay. Should still be some lunkers feeding on some drop back herring.

Fished mainland side this morning from 3am till 7. Was dead.. no breaking fish seen at all mid canal.. Didn't see anyone taking a fish either.. Will try again tonight...

Fished there Sat/Sun morning end of the high tides did quite well both days no fish on top all down deep.

agreed.. end of high.. into slack... both this morning and tonight... had good luck.... off herring chunks...

1st keeper of the year in fact...

Short on bait for tomorrow. Was thinking of using some Nathan's Herring Bits in Wine Sauce.

Basicly, these are nice chunks of herring, pickled in sweet clear vinegar sauce with onions. They go great on crackers.

Think they would work?

Damn I got the mega skunk @ the ditch last night/this morning. 9 hours of skunkage.

saturday stunk it was a $50 [lost 50 bux worth of gear] day in the canal and we got totaly skunked

Wow what did you lose? I lost 4 bucktails but found 1 rubber jig, 1 Danny style swimmer, and a mac with a chunk outta its tail :)

Fished from 9am - 9pm friday. No fish for me or my brother, not even a hit. Saw one guy hook up near the herring run around 6pm on a live herring, that was it. Also saw a 38lber being weighed at Red Top before noon, nice fat fish.

Fished 6pm - midnight sunday night. My brother and I took a fish a piece on mackerel chunks on the Cape side between slack and change of current. Bite stopped right after change of tide.

biked and fished mainland side mon. 4-7 am. saw no breaking fish. the fishboy had one mug popper but no hookup.

I lost a 25 dollar homade swimmer
a 7 dollar hopkins jig a 3 dollar tin a 15 dollar gibbs and a 3 dollar ledge runner

Someone there was using 2 convs and losing alot of gear sunday morning ;)

s'bout all

blahblahinterblab

Fished friday night. place was mobbed with idiots. No fish around. Saw only one caught by over 50 fisherman in 3.5 hours. I didn't even get a bump despite jigging a known good area.

I did Sunday from about 5 AM till 9AM......mainland side from mid-canal east......and it was dead.....saw one caught at about 30" on live-lined herring.....other than that, saw two small bluefish....everyone else was bored.......

I jigged deep, threw plugs, and some mid depth jigging at various spots without a touch..........but the currents this past weekend sucked, anyway......

Had the feeling I should have crossed the bridge, but was wary of traffic on the return trip....as it turned out, the bridges were clear the entire time I was there......:smash:

And, yes, in certain areas, there were a lot of....well, you know.....but I found some spots that were nice and lonely.......:)
