By the way, if anyone wants to know the real scoop on the Canal, it probably isn't worth the drive. We have fish on small bait, for the most part, and they're super-selective. And mostly on the small side. There are bigger fish mixed in, but usually they're not the ones you throw to when they break. I had the only fish landed among maybe 20 guys fishing a 300 yard stretch, and I'm pretty damn sure that it wasn't the fish I threw on. One other guy hooked up with a micro for a very brief time and dropped it right away. And I know T. Orlando will confirm this, as he must have put a plug on more fish than I did, and had one fewer to show for it.
But hey--if you want to burn gas to fight crowds and get frustrated by super-picky fish, it's your dime.
