The canal is one of the most frustrating and difficult place to fish on the entire striper coast. Don't knock it till you try it. What is the point of this thread other than to start some contreversy? I respect the jiggers of the canal so much especially after trying to learn it the past few seasons. Eeling in the canal? Another art form in itself. Try setting up on a fish when the first half of your cast is flowing west and the last half is flowing east. Not fishing the canal because it has no "surf" makes you sound like an elitist. I like catching fish
