Canal this week.

[Got Stripers]

I know little about the canal and want to keep it that way, I can't be buying korkers and new rods and reels. Good luck Paul and if you want to hook up this week after fishing let me know. I'm probably heading to the Westport River monday to day up inside, otherwise I'm somewhat flexible.

I fished the Canal for almost 50 years without Korkers, and I'm still alive. Never even took a bad fall.

Rods and reels? I started fishing with an 8' Berkley glass rod and a Penn 704. The whole outfit cost about $50 in 1970s money.

Should have added and I have no interest. I have fished my arse off my entire life, not even at the top of my list of priorities any longer. Shot a 76 today and am playing again tomorrow, working on carvings in the afternoons, those are my preferred activities now. Sea bass season gets me out more, stripers not so much anymore, although if that giant school of bunker parks off my beach again this summer that might change.

Mark my words, young man, you will again get the fever!
I quit fishing for maybe 10 years other than The Block in the Fall with DZ. I am back on fire. I'm still not killing anything but I have the fire back.

It’s just embers now, but I’m heading to fish up inside the Westport river in the am, should be lots of fish inside based on past years.

2:00 AM to 6:00 AM. Dropping tide almost full moon.

5 bass one decent 34+" around 15# maybe a bit more. 4 others 20 to 25". And one huge Sea Robin. A first for me. Maybe 5 pounds and 20" long. Took a yellow teaser.

Well done!
