Mem Day Weekend @The Ditch
 

Glad I don't fish it but somewhere posts seem to indicate shoulder-to-shoulder catching fish? :smash:

Shoulder to shoulder is an understatement

Shoulder to shoulder, yes. But all the fish are in RI and CT. Don't bother even going in MA.

strange there was less than 5 people standing where i was and they stayed less than an hour,i saw one keeper walk out this was between 5 and 8 saturday morning in a light rain,anyone been there tonight ,,,thinking about taking a ride

I caught nothing Friday or Saturday

same here

I am boycotting the canal this year. No morning tides at all this year. I will fish it in august at night slinging eels. I know the odds were in my favor to catch fish there today but i headed south to RI instead. I cant handle the people.

Phil your such a trouble maker

the banks were crowded and there were some fish caught but I have been there when it was a lot better

no comment:fishin:

Wheres the ditch?

This makes me feel better that I decided to wait till next week to start the salt and visit the ditch

I'm not saying a word accept, you should have been there yesterday.

Stupid fishing one day, stupefying the next.

Is it much different the the comm. guys playing bumper boats off Chatham every day?

I see the lobotomy went as planned.
Fish with me

not much different, except you have guys move in even if you got there first and crossing your lines screwing up the way you were fishing but now can't. that tests the patience of a saint

fish where the bait swims, I hear the bait is in Boston harbor:uhuh:

i saw more action at the narrows,3 stripers and 1taug,one of the guys from cc tackle got a nice keeper,think it will quiet down a bit after the holiday,i hope maybe try during the week,vacation coming soon.

Yep

Yep. no point even trying to claim a spot in the dark when it's like that. You put in your time...no good deed goes unpunished.

I have been fishing the night tides and doing OK. Nothing over 22# but decent fish every trip. AND NO COMPANY. Sleep is overrated

That's it guys. Spring run is over--a one day event. Might as well fish north of the canal now until mid-September. :hidin:

:rotf2:

Funny how it goes. Yesterday real good fish one after another till my arms gave out, today not even worth taking the rod out of the truck. That's fishin.
I will say this today was as crowded as I have ever seen it in the 28 years I have been fishing there. It was like the days when we fished herring around the run but the whole length of the canal.

Glad I stayed in bed today

I did the same. Couldn't take two aggravating days in a row. Night time is the right time.

314 dead bass on 1 side of the canal is what i counted. End to end. Thats not counting all the guys that left.

Hammered em yesterday. Fish to 30 pounds. Did nothing but waste my time today. No fish, people casting all over the damned place, blah blah blah. I had a feeling it'd be a circus. Classic.

I'm staying in RI until this calms down.

I knew it looked like a lot of fish on the asphalt. No wonder there were no fish around this morning

Where the Halibit is this place you all speak of? The ditch? Is that the place between NJ/NY where all the large are being caught as we speak?
