Striperboy, If you go fishing at low tide, whether or not it's day or night, I would suggest you do alot of scouting first. Not only as to where the fish may be, but for a nice, flat, dry rock that you can cast from, and a relatively easy path down to the water to land your fish. Get Korkers, or go down the slippery rocks below the high tide line on your butt. The canal ain't the safest place, and even I get a little nervous when I go alone. I'd suggest you take a buddy, or at the very least, a life jacket. Have fun!  |
The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

Striperboy, go to the canal and watch others fish a while, you'll see many different styles, get an idea about what methods are successful and find one that matches you. I like to jig, to do it right it takes the right tackle and a lot of lost jigs to get the feel.
Lots of people successfully chunk fish. I work with a guy who does quite well fishing chunk mackerel with nothing more than a hook a 3' leader a swivel and a rubber core sinker. Try to find a back eddy that will kind of hold the bait in one place when the current is running. Keep the rod in your hand so you can feel the pickup. Many a fish is missed whne the rod is wedged in the rocks, they don't all catch themselves.
Good luck and keep at it.
