Cape Cod Canal 9-15 to 9-18-11 new species off the list
Headed north this past week with StriperSniper, Jimmy the Greek and Andy M. Well, Andy headed north a little bit later but we all ended up fishing the famous Cape Cod Canal.
A BIG THANKS TO STRIPERTED for taking the time to show us a few things and explain a lot. We tried teh same area with the same Northbar Sat. night as he did but no takers.
There was a bit and we saw lots of big striper blowing up on bait at the surface each morning - unfortunately, it appears that they were on 3" peanut bunker and we were all throwing 6-10" baits
The canal was not as tough as people indicate, there was current but no more then you find at IRI
There was lost of rocks but overall not that snaggy - i only lost a few baits as did the rest of us.
Andy landed a 16" striper at night at the west end - schoolies were going crazy there
We had a great time - lots of good food, nice people (who were all pretty helpful) and lots of water to fish.
We did not get one keeper between the 4 of us but did get some tog during the day.
I also managed to land another new species for me - LOBSTER on a swimbait
Yummy!
I am going back again this fall if anyone is interested - we did see a 35 lber weighed in Saturday morning and lots of bird and fish action
Have a better idea on how to fish this place and what to do and, of course, many new spots to fish!

NICE TO MEET YOU CAPT Nice lobster I caught one on bait before that one must have been pretty agressive going for the swimbait

Captain,
When are you coming up here again? I had a blast even though I broke my brand new rod on the very first cast.

Tica T3.
Got the box in the mail 5pm. Drove to the Canal and setup. First cast 8pm with a 2 ounce plug.....snap.
In fairness to Tica. When I put the rod together I went over it with a fine tooth comb because I am one of those nuts.
I did notice the clear coat a little "chipped, dented, scuffed" you know what i mean..... And I thought it was cosmetic. I guess not.

I got an 11 foot stellar surf series from star rod at redtop. I am going to return this rod to TICA for a replacement.

Lesson learned......
I will never ever buy a rod online again as long as I live. The purchase at redtop was simple and he took my info for the warranty and put it in their computer.
This $150 Tica is going to to cost me another $20-$30 to ship it back.

I told you to get a Van Staal reel and Custom G Loomis rod with power pro line and florocarbon shock leader
Sheesh, don't you want to catch a 50 pounder?
