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.

Smartphones and camera phones suck, happened to me for 4 mos. this year April-July when I was in DC

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 ;)

to be honest the fishing had been so much fun and uncrowded in the afternoon I have not fished any mornings in a week or so, but that changed today from what I saw. Maybe give it a shot tomorrow before the weekend zoo takes over.

JohnnyD we only have enough room on here for 1 Bigfish, I can't catch anything, the year sucks for me, why me why, Larry.
Been in your shoes many times over the years. Stinks when you can't get to where the fish are because of commitments. Larry has no excuse this year he has all the time in the world the fish just hate him.

Hey I just heard the Canal was hot again. Got so hot they had to move it to downtown Boston as they needed another couple hundred empty parking spots. Happens when you burn a parking lot though LOL.Love the jealousey here sometimes gets funny LOL Ron

Where is there any jealousy?:confused:

You missed it again.

no nutin today. I felt like I was all by myself today. I rode for miles and saw maybe 2 or 3 guys max. I also did not see any bait and no fish or bird activity.

Same here - no people, no fish today. Did see a shark go through just about 10 feet off the rocks, my son thought that was very cool. He said it made his day worth while. :uhuh:

There were no fish Fri. or Sat. Did anyone see the boat trolling mid canal area? CG went near him and left and he continued to troll real close to the rocks. Got a nice plug and LOTs of line and almost a rod from him and the guy next to me said he got a nice plug further east of us.

not much going on Sunday or Monday, small fish and really only a handful of guys out now. No real bait in there either compared to the tons that were in there last week. I did find fish on some beaches though. Even ran into Backbeach on one of them. I hit several beaches off cape too on ride home but from what I heard I missed it by a day. For the 8 hours I put in driving and fishing it wasn't real productive but still an absolute beauty of a day and beats sitting home.

Since you told me about this, I'm still wondering why you didn't hold the line and strip the reel.
