Canal....

Has the canal picked up at all in the last week??? I went down last Thursday with the new moon. All I saw was a bunch of schoolies being caught. What would you guys recommend to use right now for artificials??

We saw small fish Friday night. I think a fly rod would be best for them.

As always , jigs would be your best bet overall for potentially bigger fish. I like 8 inch curltails but lots of times in the fall , shad body (or similar) tails work well. And then there are eel skins.....

Thanks Saltheart,

Where would I be able to find these artificials?? Sounds like a stupid questions but I only have a walmart around where I live and it sometimes doesnt have anything good worth buying. I usually just go to Buzzards Bait when I come down to the Cape. I live in the south shore area near Foxboro.

thanks eel,

You guys r great thanks a bunch. If somone can tell me how to rig the eel skin that would be great. If not, I will try to ask someone at Mako's. I am just trying to find a more effective fishing technique because my luck hasnt been all that great at the canal, so I am trying to change that.

Skins won't last too long, either
