That first run of good fish almost always comes through this week, and it's usually fish from Scorton's Ledge heading out. They don't stay long. By Sunday many will be off the Elizabeths. |

some fish have a very strong will to live
suck it up and try again
I use 300 Yards of braid with a small amount of mono backing just so it doesn't spin on the spool. I believe in the canal you need 300 yards for times like that where it can make a difference. I use 50-65 lb braid , not 80 lb.
atleast you were able to wlak the fish down a ways
I bet the fish worked the plug out, I have had them do it too me while still attached to my line, I find it easier to keep fish on jigs out of the rocks in close than fish on plugs.
maybe I need an 11 ft plugging rod too, someday soon.
I had that date on my calendar for months  just couldn't blow work off that morning so I tried yesterday, obviously not as good as thursday 
I think that was the canal payback for leaving her so much this year tuna fishing  |

Yup, you're right Paul - in fact, I used it last nite - actually, very early in the AM today - at the same spot I used it a couple of years ago to get a pretty nice fish out from around a lobster pot buoy.
Works like a charm  |

I picked the wrong side today. Same pole different side . What's wrong with me  Had to watch as guys had fish all morning where I was catching yesterday. I blamed it on my buddy who has been my bad luck charm all year when I fish with him. Me Stupid. |

It was funny to see the confused response from the customer when I said that we needed to finish by Thursday because the canal slack was at dawn Friday morning.
Yeah, since we did not finish by Thursday I had to deep 6 my Friday trip . I should have tossed an eel in their rental car. |
