I have fished a couple epic canal bites over the past 10 years. I had a great night a few weeks ago, easy pickins on large fish. As someone who loves the fish its tough to see the carnage of a blitz like what happened last week. I feel bad for the fish on the rocks. Seeing that many fish being taken while legal for the most part is just tough to stomach. I left a blitz a few years ago, i was heading further east on my bike and kept going past breaking fish and headed home after seeing so many fish on bikes, the road etc... I figured the fish took enough of a beating that day and by stopping it made me feel like i was doing my part.

With that being said i had the greatest day of fishing with my dad there a number of years ago. We hit it just right, and before the crowds really got out of control. Sunrise till about noon, all the fish you wanted to catch 20-40 lbers. We got lots of pictures and still talk about that day all the time. Glad the canal gave me that awesome memory with my dad.

Everything is better on the rocks.
