I think we should send at least the 108 people who read this thread prior to me reading it to your pole.

You know if I thought this post would have started trouble I would have worded the post much differently. Silly people, silly critiques of other peoples post.

Easy does it guys. The canal is a big place, plenty of room for everyone. A report of fish at the canal is not exactly surprising at this point is it? We have all heard the other reports that they were close. We knew it was coming a little early this year.

I think its ok to say the canal was good this morning , or the upper bay was good , etc. Its always tough where to draw the line as far as spot burning but I thing its natural to say you had a good day somewhere in general.

Everyone covets their spots. The question is , how big is your spot? Is it ok to say the fish are biting along the Atlantic coast? How about they are biting in MA or RI somewhere? North Shore? South County? Narragansett Bay? The Canal? At what specific level of info are you spot burning?

Its a tough question and it comes up several times each year. Soon , the harshest words here will be aimed at "spot burners". A ritual of each season.

Back up from the ledge folks, please and lets not get specific or detailed. Fish in the Canal is sufficient

The sign of a 100% rank amteur is the guy who flames someone for posting a fishing report.

Anyone who thinks the word won't get out hasn't been at the game long enough to know better, internet or no internet.

The fish are here and have been for over a week, go get em guys.

I was there this morning. There was no one and I mean no one for a mile in either direction of where I was.

THERE ARE NO FISH AT THE CANAL. THESE ARE ALL INTERNET LIES.

My neighbor's cousin's ex-milkman's great-grandma's sister's third cousin's (twice removed) paperboys' uncle mentioned a hot pole, but I think he was talking about "Centerfolds" and not a canal.

great to hear, and thanks for the heads up...it seems canal fishing reports this time of year have a mandatory quota of 20 "can you provide pole numbers/its going to be a zoo/everyone run down there now" posts...

Go at night and you might be the only guy on one whole side of the canal

On Monday night I walked almost a mile and a half before running into someone.

And I'm not talking about the o'dark thirty hours--go out at dusk, home in a warm bed by midnight.

That statement applies to practically every surf fishing location on the map....I truly believe these big tough men lugging knives, van staals, korkers, and other assorted sharp metal objects are simply afraid of the dark...

I fish the canal by day simply because I like tight butts in spadex sporting roller blades...

I've been doing this long enough to know, when and where fish will be at any point during the season. All the fella's I fish with have the same instinct.
Even a first timer, once he gets a year under his belt , will know somewhat, when fish will be at a certain location.
Everybody and their brothers sister know about the Canal, it's those other spots that are precious.

Be encouraging, not discouraging
