Canal loaded with mackeral and herring
 

Fished from 3 am till 8. I caught nothing, except a small mackeral that beached itself at my feet, of course I re-rigged and tossed it out, only to have the 8/0 hook tear through it. Saw many keepers taken this morning, a pair of guys where hauling 3 fish over 36" down one of the bike paths!! Another guy had what looked to be at least a 30lb fish strapped to the back of his bike.

The water was boiling with stripes and blues killing the massive schools of mackeral and herring. I have never seen it this busy ever. I was fishing about a 1/4 mile east of the herring run on the same side as it. Guys on either side of me cought schoolies and a few bluefish. Hot, hot action.

I sucked, I had a few hits, but couldn't seem to hook anything. Was anyone else in on this party today?

I was there just down from you I guess Jon

I saw quite a few fish taken

I didn't do that well, 2 small fish, I guess I was not far enough west

I hear the boaters are doing well

I was down by the run last night from 7-12ish... not even a bite.. but a few huge pods of herring running back and forth...

ill have to take a peek tomorrow maybe... if im not hungover.
