love it or hate it the canal is a special place. if you can't find a way to be able to fish it without aggravation then your part of the problem. work with the people around, communicate and you'll find yourself having a great day.
Just call it like it is. Canals been a bust for a few years now. 17 unbelievable 18 was still great 19 still hanging on but since then it’s been a steady decline in action and it’s for the best. Surf has been 1000x more productive which a vast majority of guys who fish the canal for easy access will never even attempt to fish. It’s fine catching a few small fish on a morning but I’d hardly rate this day this fella had in the video a success. At least we have the memories of mornings full of 20 - 40 pound fish on top water for two hours straight. Countless nights of monster fish on swimming plugs and jigs with nobody else around. Miss it.
2:22 didn’t even know he is the owner of Red Top. I met him once in store, the dude is so nice with 100% customer’s service. No wonder why his store would last for years. Usually bait and tackle wouldn’t last long, especially with the horrible owner.
Man you huys have the coolest jobs there are. Getting to fish all the time. Writing about fishing and getting to film it also. Man im in the wrong business thats for sure. Maybe one day ...
would a size 5000 diawa bg be fine for cape cod canal with 11 foot MH rod and would you mind making a video how to clean and grease saltwater reel after every use!
Jimmyl, love listenting to you. It's like listening to a fishing buddy downstream from me. You are a very capable fisherman but your humble and like an every day guy in your comments. Thanks for helping me be a better fisherman.
At the Canal, the Scusset State Fish Pier is the best and only access like that right now, though there may be more piers coming to the Canal in a few years. There have been several new piers built around Massachusetts using the Saltwater Fishing License funds in recent years, including Deer Island and Martha's Vineyard.
Hi so i went on the sandwich side of the canal to a dock and their parking is right on the water. I asked around and they said its ok to fish there so come May ... im there. Also the railroad bridge has similar parking access for those sitting anglers like me. Ive cought a couple fourty incher tarpoons in Puerto Rico and the camals stripped bass is my next victim. Lol thank you again for the advice.
Just curious, would the tsunami trophy II 10'6" heavy be capable to do okay paired with a tsunami shield 5000? Looking to stay in the 10-11ft because I'm 5'3 and so long(er) rods are just a bit more uncomfortable to some extent considering I just had a Back accident and blew my back out and still hasn't been right since. So that's why I ask if the 10'6" heavy would be okay? I have the 10ft medium heavy paired with the shield 5k and LOVE IT. So what do you guys over at on the water think? Thank you in advance.
I've jigged 4oz mackerel jig with a 1-3oz tfo rod and a 5k diawa mq and pulled a 45" bass. It's a lot of work and can snag easy also people around you likely fishing heavier gear so it's mess things up when it takes 10mins to bring in a fish.
Thanks … picked up a ODM DNA 3-8 11’ which is MF ACTION that was recommended to me,but it seems alittle stiff and not the greatest for top water..Even with 5 ounce lures feeling bottom is not super sensitive.@@OnTheWaterMedia
