So the no speak ingrish guy sets up 30 feet to my left yesterday. Everybody around me is fishing topwater in the appropriate cadence. Not my googan though. Keeps throwing a savage jig that I reel in 5 times. I keep throwing it down at my feet so he has to waddle his fat ass over to pry it out of the rocks. Eventually the nightlight in his brain figures out what the deal is. Lesson learned.
God punished me though, he later caught a 30 # fish. Lesson learned.

I got your phone message late Bob! My response would have been that I won't go there on weekends! LOL! Can't even get myself to go during the week! Just not worth it!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I don't care if there are 60# fish shoulder to shoulder. I am NOT fishing the Canal. I stopped 3 years ago and haven't been back since. I take my chances on The Block in November. I don't care if I don't catch anything. It's the peace and solitude I have that brings me back to my roots of surf fishing. The Canal is NOT surf fishing. It's a $hit show.

No boat, back in the suds.

I stopped fishing there many, many years ago... I fished 4 nights last week. I never saw another angler...we may not have near the amount of fish you guys do.. but the peace of mind is worth every unmolested cast.

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Amen.
