Slingah and I saw lots breaking in the canal today.....they were pushing spearing and not much interested in our offerings!:huh:

Good for you Steve!:kewl:

Slingah? The canal?

I'm gonna have to bust his nuts :devil:

Oh yeah striprman...... what about the one that got away :hihi:

:hidin:

Pogies on the bottom on a fishfinder, about a half hour into the east. I threw jigs (white bucktail) and a 3 ounce blue and white atoms polaris. Nothing.
They were really feeding on the little bait/baby herring. nice to see. I'm still talking to myself about that big one ...SxxT. I might go again Friday afternoon. Man there were alot of fish there today, breaking right at our feet.

How was the west and what the big come on?

CanalGuy, Go tomorrow and tell me. I got there about an hour before the change to the east. The schools appeared about 15 minutes later. We left about 7:00, so we fished about 2 1/2 hours with bait .
pogie chunks.

There were 4 or 5 boats fishing the schools around the Bourne bridge. The canal patrol came and chased them away.

Congratualtions but, does anyone here realize that a 38 inch fish should weigh at least 8 to 10 pounds more than that?

Not if it has teeth and a forked tail, Flap.

OK, it weighed 28 pounds :wave: :pop:

I have caught many 38-39 inch fish....usually weigh around 18-20 pounds...you using old school math Flap?:jester:

Ya got me Mike, can't get the old days out of mind. The fish though were bigger for that leangth, could have had something to do with all the pogies we had back then too, I guess, it's just a thought, maybe...do you think?:rotf3:

With all the little tiny bait that was there, I thought the belly would be full of little tiny bait, but it looked like it had a small pogy or something in there, no little tiny fishes.

38" weighing 26-28 pounds.... never happen :) . I've had 45" fish weigh 28 pounds... I've also had 45" fish weigh 35 pounds. I've seen one 38" fish break 20 pounds... I wish they weighed that much though :uhuh:

And all the whiting, and the squid, and the mackerel all season long. Somehow, I don't think they get as much bang for their buck outta a lobster that's 50% undigestible shell.
