Dammm . Everyone and his brother at the canal today,,Was a casting frenzy to a handful of 20" fish that made thier way west . ..

well at least we didn't miss anything

I know, I had people casting at me as i was floating through thunkin I was bass-zilla.....
thank god all those supa cows I kept hookin liked to swim up current. Spared me from having to swim back up current for new drifts over pods of fish...........

There are no fish in the canal

they are in the ocean


carry on

East End - Saturday into sunday, I fished all 3 west to east change overs and two+ hours into the east on all 3 tides.

I caught 1 bass that was about twice as big as the plug. I saw only one other fish taken and it was about 22".

I fished bombers on the edges at the slack, buck tails, crips and slugos of all colors in the hole and nothing.

I have a few questions for you Canal sharpies and floaties...although I cringe at the thought of being a Canal floatie...like this redlite character...

Is it possible to catch fish at the canal at night during the fall run or does it all happen during the day?

It's a very confusing place...how come when the wind blows east, the tide still runs west?

Does the lower water column flow in unison with the upper water column or does it take a while for the top to catch up to the bottom or vice-a-versa?

If I snap a jig off on the East end, why doesn't it ever wash ashore on the West end,,, even when the tide is pushing that way?

Why did they remove the porta-john from the middle area? Was it due to the amount of floaties drifting by?

Why are there sea-gulls painted on the concrete? Is that to mimic an ongoing blitz from the other side??

Speaking of the other side, why are the fish always busting on that side?? ...and when they are, why are the guys on that side still trying to cast to the opposite side?

Why are there ropes every 40 feet leading into the water?? Is that to secure the canal so it doesn't float away??

Someone should write a "Canal for dummies" thread....lot of us on here. :uhuh:...I know I could use the help,,,,,,,and what in God's name is a TROLL?

There's columns in the water? Do they hold up the bridges bloo ?

One of the nice thing about information sites is that they,re there to pass information.Love to see someone hide the canal. Never knew it was just there for a few to enjoy but some are just plain that way. On my way back there in an hr or so. Hope there are still some fish for a drive by. As far as spot burning wellllll the herring run kinda stands out like Wasque Rip on the Vineyard and the Merrimac River LOL. Ron

The Herring Run is a spot burn....just as it would be if you named any of the other named spots there or a pole number. Problem many have is that they actually put in their time there and work hard at it and then someone posts a report like that and all the report chasers show up and reap the rewards having never slogged through the down days and put in untold hours there! I have no problem mentioning the canal......but you have to name a spot??

I thought you went to the Vineyard??

Way to go spot burning again Ron.
Hope to see ya at RI south.
Drift

Well put. Thank you! :cheers:

Some people just don't get it.

That's exactly my point.

YOUR NOT ALONE, I showed up one morning, walked down the rocks
made a doz casts an ZIPPP nothing. looked up an a guy was walking his dog
an carring a 20lber NO FISHING EQUIPTMENT nothing but his DOG on a leash.:fury:
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN

thats a smart dog....

nothing but tiny schoolies eating tiiiiiiiny bait for me last couple days. had to go back to the car couple times to get all my small stuff... and some freshwater tackle to get them on the line... guy on the fly w a teaser was doin well.

There's a report that a 22 foot boston whaler has grounded on the backs of 100's of massive stripers and can't move. The captain and his fishing buddy are catching them as fast as possible and the boat is slowly lowering back into the water. Could take days.

Just got a call that it is mayhem down there right now.
Birds and fish EVRYWHERE.
Most small but a decent amount of 30# class fish..............
Uh, boss, I am sick, See-ya.............

Does anyone know the url of th canal web cams?

no birds here. no fisherman either
TeleCAM - Cape Cod Canal

The TeleCAM- Cape Cod Canal is a magic mirror, which, according to Albus Dumbledore, shows the "deepest and most desperate desire of our hearts."

"Men have wasted away before it, not knowing if what they have seen is real, or even possible."

Its on as we speak...get back down there...you must have left five minutes too early.

Story of my fishing life this year.

I have had to go away on 5 business trips between May and Today. During or immediately before every single trip, the canal went on fire and stayed on fire until the day I got home and rushed to the canal.

My favorite situation like this was when I went to Seattle a couple months ago. The canal was going nuts with all the macks in there. Was on a redeye flight home and soon as I landed received a picture of a 30# bass caught while I was in the air. Got dropped off at home, changed and headed to the canal... it was completely dead and stayed that way until my next business trip when it lit up again and I couldn't get there.

So as a heads up, tell everyone when your next business trip is going to be so they can get ready and make plans for the next BIG BLITZ!:rotf2:

Plan buisiness trips around the moon phases.

Don't tempt me Mike. I'm only 2miles away and it's almost break time here at the hell hole

It was FAC at daybreak, Paul. And still pretty dead. I thought that I had a bump when I threw tin on a break, but then realized that the thing probably fell right on the head of a 12" bass :rotf2:

If that was a 45 pounder rolling on bait, my plug wouldn't have landed within 20' of it---but I'm Deadeye #^&#^&#^&#^& when throwing tin on dinks :biglaugh:

That's why I like to stick to jigs at night ;)
