Fishing the canal and the cape

[blitzhunter]

I was there on fri. Caught a few stripers to about 17lbs. poppers. Some guys down from me got a much larger one. Looked like opening day of trout season. A real sh*t show!

Saw the carnage on fb. No way I would ever fish close enough to another man to smell his sweat.

That type of fishing is not what I enjoy.
I like the solitude, either walking a sand beach in the early AM, fishing an inlet at 3:00 AM, hiking over rocks.
If people start showing up where I am fishing, I leave. I don't care how easy the fishing is.
I guess we each fish for a different reason. I use hot reports for other reasons, one is to not go there.

Wow, crazy, agreed.

Have been there a few times in the last 2 months. I think the canal b&t and facebook folks don't help anything at all by hyping it the way they do. My .02 only.

I used to fish it occasionally when I first moved here. Over the years it has changed for the worse. You can blame fb and the net for that.
