so far... it sucks

[Back Beach]

Don't feel bad. I've yet to catch a fish over 10" in fresh water this year despite endless efforts...I even have a boat.

On another note, I fished the canal last week on Sunday,Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday....needless to say the fish blitzed out big time on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday...I managed to miss the whole thing and only had a handful of small fish to show for the $100 worth of gas I burned. ...even RI Jimmy outfished me last week..... just kidding Jimmy.

huh? I have no clue what you're talking about.

up until last week, I never caught a single fish from the canal and then suddenly it was the freakin motherlode. I've never seen that type of action before.

From the boat, its sucked so far. A few small fish but nothing exciting, I hope this weekend changes things.

There's a period in the spring when the fish make the run through the canal in clouds. This can be over a period of 1-2 weeks and if you're there when the clouds go by, you can be on almost every cast. It can be day or night but once this is over with, switch to nights or bring a book.

Given the fact the fish have been penned up in BB for a while waiting for the temps to break, I would bet it will be quick this year.

Last year it was the late east tide on Memorial Day that brought the first clouds. I had taken Friday off and fished every tide on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and the first half of Monday. I got frustrated and decided to spend the last half of Monday with the wife and missed the show.

Sounds like I missed it again this year as I was away on vacation and haven't fished the canal yet. I was hopping to get in on it this weekend.

yeah, well maybe if you returned a phone call every few months you might know what's happening. Not like I haven't been trying!

I told you I'm hammering them. all fish between 2-3.5 lbs on zoom worms and lizards from shore. my godfather has a couple four lb. fish. there are some real monsters in this spot. I know of an 8 pounder caught there and my godfather had three 5 pounders last May. Haven't even thought about fishing the surf because it's been so good. Let me know if you want to go...
