I have about 18 hours there over 2 nights with no sign of life aside having an eel bit off by one bluefish.

Stiffy's a bit challenged in the grammer dept. :hee:

"Breaking" tides are when slack low tide occurs right around first light. Some believe this is the best time to target fish in the canal, particularly with topwater plugs.

I suppose you could also have a "braking" tide too, which would be the period two hours just prior to slack as the tide slows from a sprint to a crawl. We may have just coined a new term here at S-B...:think:

Had decent action yesterday even though the tide was a bit later. Small keepers. Need more bait for sure.

I'm with ya on the 10 days to 2 weeks prediction. Unfortunately I'll be over fishing the derby for those tides, but I guess thats not a bad place to be either.

I like the breaking tides.:love:

I thought they were called "braking tides" because the bike guys slam on their brakes and cast from the road when they see a fish? :biglaugh:

Man I read this and I'm rolling on the floor laughing. The only thing that pops into my head is " Stiff Tip caught the Bass Hawg typing disease":rotf2::rotf2:

I found fish on the " bottom of the tide" at the Canal last night. Nothing over 15# but fish none the less.

Breaking could also refer to one's bones or the like. At low tide all the slippery rocks are exposed, thus a predisposition to break a rod, leg, arm, or god forbid your casting finger. One time I slipped and spilled a big bucket of live herring, but I was high enough up on the rocks that none of them made it back to the water.
