i'm right there with you~~~~
was prolly across the ditch from you!!!

mine was worse, imho,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
i whiffed on 2 takes; my first cast about 45 mins
BEFORE the breaking fish directly in front of me.
if it helps, the hit was ona bullet headed, eel painted, 2oz jig
that sported sum olive over white eely rubber. i also doused it with eeeel potion.

once the tails started slapping and the fish started breaking the surface,
i went from top water to swimmers to jigs to darters and back again to the one
that brung the first take~~~~~ all to get me,,,,,,,,,,,,BUPKISS!!!!

still, it was sweet seeing the action and i'll take it for my first time out this migration and my first time to fish the Canal.
prolly should've thrown a 7" white tsunami swim shad, if i FRIGGIN' had one then

keep at it,,,,,,you cain't CATCH, iffin ya don't wet a line!
these next few weeks should be the beginning, or so THEY say??
