Why would that delight me? Are you that good that you'd catch all the fish before me or any of us?  |

I believe they actually dug it twice .. If I remember right 1919 and 1935... first time it was much to narrow and dangerous .. I have a book somewhere about Boston and how it improved as a port because of the canal .

Rocks, mussel beds lined with starfish, kelp beds, mud, ledges, some sandy stretches, ghost lobster traps, ropes and other assorted debris cast off from vessels or that washes in from the ends, miles of broken off line, much of it braided that will be there forever, and about 1000 of my jigs.  oke: |

The other reason why I ask is that while building the new flyover on the Sagamore end, I noticed that the dip/holes they made for the new pavement, it was all sand unless they blasted then trucked in the sand which is what they probably did, and they are not more than, what?, 1/2-1/4 mile away from the canal/water.
I figure that way back then they blasted/dug and only needed a space large enough to get the trucks/equipment through and left the rest because they knew it would be a canal, not a drive-through. Nevertheless, does anyone think that the fish would eventually be in there as they are today?
