- Ian & Ryan introduce you to our next series of videos! The Cape Cod Canal can be a daunting place to fish for many anglers both experienced and beginners clash at this one legendary spot.
It can be hard to get started there so we have devised a plan in which we will do a series on how to fish the Cape Cod Canal the RIGHT way! We will go over simple tips and tricks all the way up to how to Jig and Pop!
Stick around and don't be afraid to ask questions in the comment section below - Розваги
Love this!!
Thanks Guys enjoyed the info. Will be looking forward to more !
Great video....Keep this going!
outstanding information! Thank you.
Perfect, Guys. Thanks! I'm going to be getting out there for the first time this year. Didn't have an appropriate setup last year so I'm looking forward to the migration. The plug modification help is awesome.Coming to the shop for a whole setup in April.
I'd love to see some common riggings you use for jigs/plugs - knots, leader lengths, etc. The video where you showed the fly teasers was a good example.
Thanks for the comment chase. We will definitely be showing more of our riggings when we do more 'on the water' filming this upcoming Spring & Summer! We look forward to seeing you in April!
Great video!
I feel like microphones may be a good investment in the channel.
I absolutely agree.
I think it’s also to do with migration patterns. I had a great year in 2020 and this spring was my best yet. Huge bass were caught in jersey and Boston last year and it seams like the migration literally slipped by the canal. ATLEAST a lot of the larger pods of fish did!
Reading the tides at the canal
Like the series please show close ups lures and give us a chance to get a good look .If you consider profiling various surf casting rods with comparison of features would make for interesting series.Note Seible swimmers outfished everything I used last summer
I'd like to see you guys talk about:
Best locations at the canal to fish.
Rules and regulations, as I think commercial stripe bass fisherman can't fish there anymore due to all the issues, and the non commercial rules and regs.
Best time to go, tides, night vs day time fishing.
Etiquette, as I think there's been a lot of problems there, especially at night.
Great suggestion! We will be touching on all those topics for sure in this series! Thanks for watching!
Can you do a segment from the canal showing what makes a good spot, with showing specific spots.
I wondered the same thing when I started fishing and trapping Lobster in the Ditch. I will be going thru all of the best fishing spots over this summer if you want to follow along.
Awesome content man ! Any tips on lures and baits too use in March and early spring
Check out some of our other videos especially the "schoolie lures' video we just did. We will also be doing more canal vids very soon!
Great video, guys! Would it be possible to list or link some of the gear you guys described in the description box? Looking for a new set up this season and that would be helpful. Tight lines!
Great Idea Josh! I will go through the video right now and add some links in the description! Expect to see them in every description now!
@@GooseHummock sweet! Thanks, fellas!
Thx this is going to be super helpful also what do you think are good tides like is the morning always a good time and breaking tide.
We are glad that you enjoyed the video. We will go into tides at the canal in more depth in another video! Waaaaaaaaay too much to explain!
I've never been to the cape cod canal but I am planning a trip up june/July. Going to have to start getting some gear together for up there!!!
if you want to link up ill help you out
You should! It is quite the experience!
Never shy out on going for heavier gear , you never know when the once of a lifetime fish will bite. Caught my PB last year 2 weeks after getting my second setup for the canal
@@MrGT500 I'm coming down and I'm down would need a buddy to help around the canal
@@SRTKOVA hit me up. vacation starts at the end of this week
Do top five spinning reels
We can do that!
Hi guys, can you do a video on what kinds of shoes/boots/waders you wear when fishing from the shore, depending on the season?
Sure can! Thanks for the idea!
Is a fast action rod suited for canal currents or stick with a moderate fast?
Is there a canal rod you can suggest thats good for jigging and plugging
How effective is that outcast pencil popper pink color at canal? Between floating vs sinking, which one would perform better?
For the canal I’d always choose a sinking pencil. Not something so obsurd that it sinks like a bank sinker, but a slow sink. There are certainly lures like a 4 oz loaded cotton Cordell that you can jig subsurface. But using a slow sinking pencil with the high speed reels we use and the current, and proper angler input, it’s not difficult to plane a properly setup pencil to the surface. Beyond just the distance that most sinking pencils provide, you can dictate how high or low the plug rides in the water, if a fish takes a few swings and misses you can stop the plug and it will sink down and back giving the fish a clean underwater take at the lure, and sinking pencils tend to hold and not get tossed around in the current as much as their floating counterparts. Also, unlike when you pause a lure like a spook and it remains in a natural parallel position on the surface, your typical floating pencils sit tail down with just the nose coming out of the water. So for me, I’ll take the extra distance, and ability to control the lures action and presentation.
Just my opinion for what it’s worth.
Dan pretty much took the words right out of our mouths! We really like some of the Ocean Born pencils and cup nose popper in the SLD as we can use it subsurface or any other water column we want. It also gets us that little bit of distance which can be huge sometimes at the ditch!
I live I western mass (Springfield) I make the 2 hr drive to the canal atleast 10 times each summer.. the canal was rough last year I got skunked more then any other year but it happens.. have the bass made it to the canal yet or should I wait till april?
Wait another month or two for schoolies , I normally wait till later in the season when the mama fish start rolling in haha
Hi, for the kids they cant be buying super expensive lure do you guys have any budget lures for stirped bass that work well? Thanks!
We will go over that in one video for sure!
Ballin' on a budget coming up!
Where do you find the best tide chart for the canal?
Did I miss it? What are the three or four lures for the canal??
What length is your rods?
A segment on night fishing in the canal-what to use.
Ok great we will make that a topic for sure! Thanks for watching!
Head lamp ,bug spray and hopefully your not scared of them big sea rats 😨lol
@@TravelMore24_ not to mention skunks, raccoons, minks and coyotes
Would really love to see a shoot out between the Slammer 6500, Saltx 6000, Cabbo 5000-8000, Saragosa 14000 and saltist 500-6500. these are all the main reels i see down there that arent $1000
everyone and their mother says saragosa, i think i am the only person alive who doesnt like the way shimanos feel.
I am looking to get the slammer and the saltx this year. along with a battle 3 high speed.
We just filmed a segment on 6 reels that we like in the saltwater department! The SaltX, Saragosa, and even the diawa BG. It should be posted tomorrow around Noon so keep an eye out! Thanks for your input aswell!
@@GooseHummock Sweet deal, thanks for replying. I nailed a 40+ inch fish last year on my 10ft 1-5 penn battalion and a tsunami evict 5000 55lb braid.
I use super slick to try and avoid wind knots, would love to see a line comparison. I just put yellow 55lb on my new Slammer 6500. do you think line color matters at all?
I love Shimano and have several... but bought a Diawa BG 5000 for the canal, it is a beast for $130. The guy at Bass Pro a 5000, fishes the canal and wishes he had gone even smaller to the BG 4000, has the same drag but less line capacity , so just don’t use backer, it’s smaller and lighter which is always the aim.
I love your vids but can you guys do something to enhance the audio? You put out a ton of great information but it can be very difficult to hear.
What is the sling pack that You use?
I'd have to ask Moneybags himself but most of us use the Simms Freestone bags
Blitz comin in April again this yr?
Why not?
lets do a video on topwater plugs, spooks, pencils etc
One of our favorite topics for sure! We will be doing videos in our 'Testing Tank' soon!
@@GooseHummock Aw that’s sweet!!
spooks are sooooo underrated
Please share good spots and recommended times of the day, thanx.
Audio is too low
, you guys need to speak up!
Fellas, less selling and more learning/tutorial. I am more inclined to go to your shop the more I LEARN how to fish from you and the less you push products. Push the products when I get there (believe me at that point in person I will buy everything you point to). This is constructive criticism only. Sincerely trying to help even though I know it is just my opinion.
