WCDave! How ya doin? I did have alot of fun when I was out there... Nice to get a couple fish in the Delta when most everyone else in New England was thinking about it... Getting larger bass around here (Rhody-Mass) can start late April early May. Figure May in the Canal. These tend to be caught on live herring but plugs improve the later in the spring you get... Eel fishing tends to start in June but people can get them in May as well! The larger bass will be in Rhode Island with the Large hitting the Outer Cape Beaches towards mid-late June... As far as the Canal? I'll start fishing there in a few weeks. I live about 35 miles away... There all kinds of time to fish the canal with plugs, live/dead herring, eels, you name it! May through November is the time to fish around here for big stripers...The very hot months in mid summer can get slow though... Let us know if you can make it out. We'll have to hook up for a trip to what's hot at the time!!
