Distance traveled to fish the Canal
I was just wondering what the distance people have traveled to get to the Canal. I drove 70 miles from Lowell last friday and my wife and a few of my pals thought I was nuts. I told them that the fishing up north has been slow for keeper size bass and I am sick of catching small fish.
I have not been out in a few weeks so I am jonsin' for a keeper! 
Thanks! |

It's just a 20min ride from my place in Middleboro, MA to the Ditch. I am starting to hit the Ditch more often. Noticing I'm getting more action in the Ditch on Striped Bass than in Falmouth.
