Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to share tide advice for the canal. For 15 years Ive been going down for a weekend every fall and throwing jigs til my arms fall off. I originally got suggestions about where to start from this site. I dont want to steal anyones spots, I usually fish the same ones all the tourists do. RR bridge, trading post, bridges, jetti, etc. Ive got lucky a few times and either landed big fish, or alot of fish. I fished Maine and Plum Island for years, but the canal is my favorite. Up north I only worry about out going or incoming tide, but the Canal has east and west also and I have no idea how to read them. Are there any simple suggestions like "be on the east end on an east tide" or "always fish the top or bottom of a tide swing" or anything like that. I live two hours away and usually run up and down the ditch all nite until first light has passed, then sleep all day. Anything that would help me cut down the guess work of when to be out there is GREATLY appreciated. Ill be there from Sept 21-23. Id say Ill look forward to seeing you out there, but if youre a canal guy thats any good, youre even better at not letting rookies see you catch fish than you are at catching them. Like Ditch Ninjas. Tight lines.
