Does everyone remember thier first day at the "ditch"

[Notaro]

The first day I went to the east end of the canal with my three buddies when I was in a junior in high school. We all had really cheapo setups. We were chunking to no avail. It was our first skunk together and we were fishing in the daylight. Five years later, I heade back in the late noon and caught my 10 and 20 lbs bass on the Pt Jude sandeel and sea scallop on my 9 ft rod and spheros. After that, I got hooked on it.

Only two years ago from my log:

5/21: Down to the Cape Cod Canal at the Herring Run, arrived early in the dark. There was herring in the shallows. We fished until dawn. I lost a decent fish on a mag darter when nothing was going on. Later on Mike got a schoolie out of there. There were good fish at our fish. We went to Bell Rd and out to the fishing pier on Scussett Beach. It was a real good time and we had a lot of fun.
