I finally went to the canal this morning - a west end location that had some schoolies slapping at baitfish around an hour before sunup, but no one was fishing except for me briefly and another guy that appeared to be a regular. I got hung up once, was using a 70's fiberglass pole that I have never used before. I am a total rookie there and felt like it. Left after about 30 minutes of small fish slashing at bait within casting range and not getting a hit. Parking area started to fill, so I figured I'd hit a schoolie spot to make me feel like I had a clue (no dice there either). Came back later in the morning and spoke with the same gentleman that was nice enough to answer a few questions I had when I first arrived - very slow there all morning.
Seemed like everyone knew each other there - fishing must have been slow as there were only 4 guys fishing when I returned and 2-3X that number chatting it up in the lot.
Ya, I wished fishing will be good next time.
The starfish was one of the biggest ones I've pulled out of there, must have been a foot across. Do starfish count ?
