Canal Monday 27th

Slow night at the ditch. Fished from 5p.m to midnight and managed to get one eel chopped thats it. Saw one fella catch a rat blue. Tons of bait and fish breaking but they werent taking what i was offering. Probably the full moon.

Everything is better on the rocks.

I fished from slack this morning ~345am to 645am. My brother and I caught 2 stripers around 630am. Fished 4 different spots and at each no luck on a variety of lures (jigs, swimmers, top water) and didn't see anyone else catching. Eerily void of any breaking fish also.

Perhaps last night's east tide was the one to fish, 'reelecstasy' scored large! - http://69.93.108.13/StriperTalk/show...threadid=18187

It was slow but there were fish if you were willing to work for them. 7 bass from twinks up to 43" 27(ish)# and a few rat blues at sunrise. That was bewteen 1 and 7 am. Had another bass around 20-22# and another around 16-18#. Can't wait to get back down there .

If the tide is starting to ebb in Boston, will the current in the canal also flow east?

The current actually turns east almost 2 hours before low tide in Boston.
And low tide in the west end of the canal occurs 3 hours before it is low at the east end.

Are you confused yet?

Just get a Canal tide chart and fish the current----you'll drive yourself nuts trying to fish by "high tide/low tide" or whether an east tide is an "incoming" or "outgoing"

A little. I used the Maine Harbors tide charts a few times. It has a section on the Canal Currents. It breaks that down into currents and not high or low tides. I just wanted to fish the ends on their respected flowing tides.
