OK first I gotta admit the first weekend of the month treated me well. But since then it's been nothing but skunk after skunk after skunk. Highlights include the 12 hour ditch guerilla jig-a-thon and the Plum Island lead and treble hook dodging contest - last guy to get knocked in the head by 3oz of lead or waders snagged by a 3 treble swimmer wins! But last night surely topped it all off. It was the combination skunk n dunk. Hey guys did you know salt water ruins zippos and digital cameras?
I was reeling in something heavy (probably someone's old line) and got it close to my feet when it broke free. I tripped on a rock behind me and had to put my left hand out. I didn't get flooded or swept out into CC Bay, but my left side down to my waist was cold and wet and everything in my wader pocket was swimming. How lovely it is to see water leak out of your $300 camera.
It's offical now... 3 weeks without a fish. But damnit I am determined to conquer the ditch. I can't be driving all the way to Nauset every weekend.
I am pleading here... is there a canal master out there willing to take me under his wing? I can compensate you with lots of teasers and bucktail jigs
