It was another very good week in the canal according to Jeff from Canal Bait & Tackle who said the east end from Scusset Beach to the jetties and up inside the canal has been hot all week with some nice bass along with the schoolies breaking. There are mackerel, herring and some whiting being the main attraction and he saw a football field size surface feeding of small bones in the middle of the canal that never lasted very long. Some guys are catching the bones on epoxy jigs and others are using their swim baits to catch the schoolies and bones that come in close. They have some great canal rods in stock so stop in and give one a try.

The canal was hot all week according to Jeff from Canal Bait & Tackle who said there were fish on top and customers using their jigs were doing well on fish from larger schoolies to specimens in the 40-plus inch class. Scusset was a good place to be on Saturday morning when fish were caught on top and along the bottom on jigs. Their silver herring jigs and shads were getting it done at all levels. Guys were coming in for two and three at a time and racing back to the canal. The Fish Lab jigs were also in demand. The bones were once again teasing by breaking in the middle of the canal where no one could reach them. Stop in and view their selection of custom jigs and canal rods.
