I finally went to the canal this morning - a west end location that had some schoolies slapping at baitfish around an hour before sunup, but no one was fishing except for me briefly and another guy that appeared to be a regular. I got hung up once, was using a 70's fiberglass pole that I have never used before. I am a total rookie there and felt like it. Left after about 30 minutes of small fish slashing at bait within casting range and not getting a hit. Parking area started to fill, so I figured I'd hit a schoolie spot to make me feel like I had a clue (no dice there either). Came back later in the morning and spoke with the same gentleman that was nice enough to answer a few questions I had when I first arrived - very slow there all morning.
Seemed like everyone knew each other there - fishing must have been slow as there were only 4 guys fishing when I returned and 2-3X that number chatting it up in the lot.

Ya, I wished fishing will be good next time.
The starfish was one of the biggest ones I've pulled out of there, must have been a foot across. Do starfish count ? |

Headed there right now, I'm optimistic.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Hooking a big starfish can really give you a workout. I nailed one near the herring run and a crowd of tourists was on the access road. They though I had a whale! Once landing the staarfish, I threw it up on the path for them to admire. Some had never seen a starfish up-close and real. I often wonder if one of them took it on the buss.  |

Which probably means 4-5 teen fish and a 25 thrown in for good measure  |

I was out until 4 AM Sunday.
Fred the bird hasn't shown up yet, so I kind of didn't fight falling asleep during the football highlights.

Hmmm, turtles. I've seen the current running slower than this in the last month:
Slack, Ebb Begins (-.05 knots) 7:44 pm
Max Ebb (-4.12 knots) 10:40 pm
Last set of neap tides it was down to close to 3 kts.

 ya you did.
I released a nice fish and it swam out 8 -10 feet from shore and rolled over, then I had to play snag and revive the fish in waist deep water. I got wet, but eventually it swam away strong. |
