Curious as to how much time you put in at or how often you go to the Canal?
Are you from NJ and you make the trip up just for the Canal?
That's a heck of a ride.
Just wondering, thanks.

I live 300 miles from the canal most times it takes me just under 5 hrs it has taken as many as 8 hrs.. I have been fishing it since 2002..I have come as many times as 4 per year.Last year I made one trip for 3 nights..This year one trip for 5 nights.Most times I come in the mid summer months.Not the best time but I have confidence.I truly believe after may when they enter there are large fish that just stay in the ditch till they leave in the late fall.
In my illustrious career I bet I have a little over 50 nights fishing the ditch..Thats less than a season for many good ditch guys..If I lived near there it would not even be a half a season...
Like I said I am NO Expert..I catch suicidal fish.,I catch em out of sheer determination.My first quality ditch fish came from a all nighter of casts..I must have casted 300 times.I have learned the better tides thru trial an error.
It's fishing thats all.Fishing in current..Some make it out to be something so much more.Getting your gear right to fish 50 ft depths at 5 kts is half the battle.The current puts the fish where they are supposed to be.I still think the canal is a wonderful fishing hole. Seven miles long with 2 sides chock full of mysteries.I have only just begun to unlock em..That is why I come back..
