BIG STRIPERS ?????
 

Can anyone tell me when do the big stripers start to go threw or what is the best month of the year to be fishing the cannel

June

in june, mikep? perfect man, wait a minute. i better take IFG with me to show me around the canal better. i have been to canal twice last summer and no luck.

START LATE MAY THRUOGH JUNE, check the tides and current flow

hey mike, do you know the rail road bridge on the canal? i recalled that OTW's article talked about canal. it said that on the east side is more productive. and it stated that on the east side of the railroad bridge is more productive. however, there was construction going on last summer. and i was determined to know if there is a way to access to the east side of the railroad bridge. and i only saw some hedge blocking the access on the rocks. well, is there or not?

I think most guys swim to the other side.

Yup, thats how I do it, just gotta make sure ya got a good wetsuit on cuz the water can be a little cool early in the season:laughs:

are you playing with me or are oyu being serious with me? u can't swim on the canal. you would be sucked into the water immediately.

who was it that said
 

Have no fear Canalman in here!!!!
 

I once caught tatoo on a live eel... as he drifted by on an October swim across the canal. October has been my favorite canal month ever since!

MAKE SURE YOU WEAR
 

I remember that day.....you put up one hell of a tussle. I just about had you spooled.


I'm a sucker for them snakes.

tatoo, did you actually swim on the canal? with a pair of flippers on? im not sure if you are kidding me or not.

Tattoo fishing, It takes alot of time and Years to learn How to fish for Tattoo's
I think they may be making a come back.
Look around rocks and dont cheat with doping up Your plug with Blooberry Juce.
Tattoo's seem to run in RI and in the summer a few Tattoo's been caught out at the race.
here is My 1st caught Tattoo. We held it Up It was a good size Tattoo
Put up a good fight and I put it back and lost a pink Musso darter on another one....

June most guys catch the big ones on jigs but some lucky few are able to raise them on plugs

Notaro the RR bridge is great place to fish espcailly on a slack tide

ifg, any jig? like storm shad, bucktail, and etc?

i prefer a white bucktail
