DO:
1Take the time to pic a good spot to stand. A stable rock or gravel spot is important
2. Stay low , like on your butt , when you go down the rip rap if its steep.
3.Use heavy gear if possible. The current makes a big fish very difficult to land.
4.Bring a variety of stuff cause there could be herring or squid or mackeral or all three at any given time and eels work there too.
5.Fish deep with jigs. I think you do better overall and avoid blues if you bounce the bottom.
DON'T
1) Try to hurry on the rocks. Even guys whgo do good normally end up with bashed shins if they try to move too quickly on the rubble.
2)Stay in the same place doing the same thing too long without catching fish. There are a million little currents in the canal so move around a little if you aren't getting hits.
3.Wait till you have your first canal fish on before you think about how you will land it. Figure that out as part of the process of choosing your spot before you hook up.
4)Worry about losing your jig. The risk of losing the jig is the price you pay for more fish by fishing deep.
5) Enter a rotary without your seat belt on. The rotaries are brutal. Be very careful entering a rotary.
