Thank God I got out when I did.
I left right at false dawn. Must have been 5:30 AM or so. I had been in the water, more or less, since 2:00 AM. I had one fish early about 20# then when the tide slowed I didn't even get a bump. I was way up at the East end and walked back aways. The trucks were piling in so I figured it would get crowded real quick.

I was far away, but I assume that they were told nicely by the people fishing from shore that they were not allowed to fish in the canal from a boat.
The more people who quit fishing because it's cold or because they think "it's over" the better. Less crowds to deal with for those of us who keep fishing. Next to late May, early June, this is my favorite time of year. |
