Bloo,

I finally caught my 1st keeper!... I got a 32" bass last night at the canal...

Despite the fact that my wife doesn't believe me, I released it.

I didn't make it out Monday night, but decided to wait & got down to the canal last night around 10:15pm.

The bass were hitting pretty well, but only for about 1/2 hour before they moved on...

This is really my first year of fishing saltwater having only been out few times over the past two years.

I'm hoping to spend this winter rod building and getting into some books on techniques for Surf Casting & on learning more about the habits & behavior as well as where the bass hang out... essuaries & tides... etc...

I'm also hoping to connect with some old timers who won't mind sharing some of their knowledge in regard to these things...

I'm sure that time & determination will pay off when I am able to effectively plan out where I can fish and tie into some of the larger bass...

I've already geared up & picked up some Korkers & Breathable Waders.

I saw some gigantic waves going down the canal last night
(not across it...) agaist the flow of the tide!... they were so massive, that I was questioning what could generate such a massive & enormous wake?... It was absolutely bizarre!!!...

I dont think that a submarine could match the mass of this wake!

But then again, I usually run into the bizarre whenever I'm at the canal!!!... But NOT LIKE THIS LAST NIGHT!!!...

Has anyone else ever seen anything like this at the canal?...
