You own a 12$ bicycle with two hundred dollars worth of upgrades!

Or when you own a $400 canal bike with $60 worth of upgrades!! LOL!!!:rotf2:

Or when your bike chain is dark orange.

or more than one kickstand

You have broken a strap on a plug bag just by lifting it.

when you are late for work again because you are still fishing the canal this morning when you should have given up 2 days ago.

When your kid knows more people than you do!

I can catch plenty in the surf. With a 14 month old at home the ditch is convenient. It is not always easy fishing there. I am sure there are plenty of surf guys that would not do well there. It is a different place.

when you've figured out the mink calls, and have literally fished for them with eels.... and taken cell phone footage of the whole thing...

You have a period every other week.

When you slip and fall on the rocks and or dump your plug bag out!:smash:

You know you're a PRO Canal Fisherman when:

You've been placed on the Pro Staff for a Rod Company, have your photo repeatedly posted - with fish - on various fishing sites, have earned a cool nickname, and your father is the butt of countless jokes.

:rotf2: I need to post that video

When you have to go on a site like derailleurhanger.com and pay $21.99 for a small piece of metal to go on a piece of cht bike. :smash:

Seems like everyone is a canal fisherman come June. Those mid week August evenings are priceless.

end of thread,,, right there .. haha Numby ..

you ride a girls bike...

when you've learned to catch fish there on plugs, jigs, bait or eels in multiple spots on each side, learned how to move in on people kindly without mugging them, had fun during good times and slow times. It also helps to have friends with cell phones like Numbskull said, sometimes I wish I had more than just one friend :)

You see the same 25# bass go by 5 times on some guy's bike.

Your gear is worth more than the vehicle you drive.

... you have the entire place to yourself all night, and at first light, dudes in jeans stand come and stand and cast 15 feet to your left and right.

You think there are seven inches to a foot and five ounces to a pound.

You drive over an hour to get to the Canal, but end up parking at Dunkin Donuts for an additional hour just to....:chatter::chatter: ...and then go on to complain about somebody fishing in the spot that you drove over an hour to get to....

When your on a first name basis with numerous brown and black ferrets. Or the ferrets are the only friends you have, and sometimes answer you when you ask deep and peenetrating questions at 3 a.m.

Someone edjamacate me...what's the difference between a Canal Fisherman and a Troll? :confused: or dare I ask?

A "troll" is a (for the most part) defunct group that used to be...and that's all I got to say about that.

I thought "troll" was what they did down in P-town?

You know when everyone knows where to find you, when to find you, and you keep referring to this as "your secret spot"!

No that is shrimping

Ouch!Talk about taking a beating :rotf2: WELL SAID. I COULD NOT AGREE MORE

Ouch!Talk about taking a beating :rotf2: How true.. Nicely put

When the ferrets know you by name.

Precisely Lou, his Indian name is - "He Who Cranks Too Fast". His LEGENDARY status and fabulous hair can be admired for miles. Many try and fail to achieve his dynamic .0014321 hook up ratio, you know your a true canal fisher when you look that good NOT catching fish. :fishslap:

Hmm, Sounds like he has a soft tip on his rod and the cranking too fast is giving him premature extraculation!!

As I have expressed to your" Less than humble PTJR, and yourself, ( PRO TIPS)" that refuse to use hooks on my plugs when fishing for SMALL FISH. When I'm fishing for large, you know that I only need and use 1 hook. I know you have seen how well that works for me and not you.. You seem to need 6,12, 48 hooks on each plug. Too each his own. I'm going back to watching the pretty rain fall.. Go yell at someone.
