Ross I hit canal in morning, sloow. Wind was easy till about 8, bailed as schoolies have been the norm last 2 days. Went down cape and did my yard stuff, beautiful day. Came back off Cape around 2 wind was howling along canal and overcast, real fall type day. Like 2 different days. Hit the canal and I was pretty much only one out there. Figured strong NE wind blowing into canal this time of year with tide rising was perfect IMO. Ended up Losing a fish you dream about in close on a stick shad. Fish came out of the water like a tarpon the hit and run was spectacular. I got a 38 on Monday and this was much bigger. Man I put in 25 hours at canal this week, 6 straight days, for that fish and it came unbuttoned. Oh well I won't forget that for a while.
