Distance traveled to fish the Canal
 
I was just wondering what the distance people have traveled to get to the Canal. I drove 70 miles from Lowell last friday and my wife and a few of my pals thought I was nuts. I told them that the fishing up north has been slow for keeper size bass and I am sick of catching small fish.

I have not been out in a few weeks so I am jonsin' for a keeper!:af:

Thanks!

It's just a 20min ride from my place in Middleboro, MA to the Ditch. I am starting to hit the Ditch more often. Noticing I'm getting more action in the Ditch on Striped Bass than in Falmouth.

From my house to center span on the Bourne bridge is exactly 50 miles. There and back almost every friday night plus many other random days for the last 7 years from May to October.

fishaholic18 08-04-2004 07:42 AM

About 1 1/2 hours depending on traffic.

Surely Bassey 08-04-2004 08:26 AM

199 miles to the bridge. But I usually stay on the Cape and I fish the ditch about 3-4 times per year.

Rob Rockcrawler 08-04-2004 01:33 PM

Notaro 08-04-2004 01:36 PM

wow, perfect combination, you are connected to her as you are to the canal...;)

chris L 08-04-2004 03:01 PM

rock rob

lurch 08-04-2004 03:21 PM

cool topic! I am glad to hear that I am not the only nut who will drive for a biggin'!

I will be heading down there more often as the fishing up north has slowed down from shore.

afterhours 08-04-2004 03:39 PM

approx. 110 miles round trip, and worth every one!

Slipknot 08-04-2004 05:02 PM
