I have a saying about the Canal. "The more I learn, the less I understand." It can be humbling at times. My first few years were zeros. Now I'm at least around 60 to 70% for catching decent. That still translates to 2 out of every 5 trips I get skunked.

I stood next to a Canal sharpie the other night while he caught a 35#, a 32# and several 20+, I got ZERO!!! Both throwing eels on conventionals. It's got to do with knowing and understanding the drift on a certain current, in a specific place with a specific wind.

I find it extremely challenging. To be consistent at the Canal takes knowledge and perseverance. I love the challenge of figuring it out.

No boat, back in the suds.
