I'll bet it's closer to 10 days. Sometime between 5/5 and Mothers Day for decent fish. 40" fish will be here by Mothers Day if the past is any kind of teacher

There will be single large fish taken within a week no doubt. I've gotten good ones(20#) as early as May 2, but I'm talking about good numbers of good ones. I did get my biggest canal fish ever on May 19, so who knows. Three weeks from today is the 18th, so I'm probably starting up around then.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole

This year, the Canal is going to be a ZOO, all those fish last year will draw crowds from far and wide. My buddy was talking to the guys at CMS and they said that the orders for canal sticks have been through the roof... not even close to any other year. There's a lot of money riding on the return of those macks.

The canal was my go to place last summer. Yet the above statements just add to why I'm getting a kayak.

And it will probably work the same way as the upper bay last year, it did'nt happen the same.

Bingo--I already have plans to be out of town on Memorial Day weekend.

Just as long as all the wannabe jiggers don't leave braid balls all over the bottom

Yep, that's exactly what I said. Nothing ever happens twice, even when you can't come up with a reason why it shouldn't (love that saying)

Flap -- I hear ya, thought the same things when I didn't have any targets out there to throw at.
