Canal fishing Wed. AM

I'll be flying into pvd Tues. night and be heading over the canal at around 2 AM so i figured i'd finally get a line wet. It's sad that I live on the Cape but I haven't fished the canal in 2 years. It'll be pretty much max ebb. Any suggestions on plug type/color?
Thanks Pete

Pete

Calcutta baits will work just as well but you need to get the jig/rubbah to the bottom to catch fish and a 2.5oz-3oz rubbah just wont cut it (in certain locations). I was tossing a 4oz jig the other night and it did not make it to the bottom....slapped on a 6oz rubbah and it made it. My shoulders were burning by the end of the night.

Thanks for the info unfortunately by the time i got off the flight all the shops were closed and teh walmart in seekonk didn't have anything like yopu suggested. I did have a few plugs with me and a bomber worked for me pretty well. No keepers but it was a beatiful night out ther.
