I’m posting this here because this group has a lot of info on fishing the ditch. Im looking for a maker or a mold possibly of pyramid heads to use for savage jigs. The savage heads are just so expensive. Pictured below is the head style I’m looking for

Anyone have a preference for high or low tide at the canal? I agree that there are some spots that fish great on a West tide and not so great on East and vice versa but from my experience I have much better luck during low. What are your thoughts? - Al

What was everyone's go to lure for the 2016 season? That one lure that caught you fish when nothing else would produce? Also, was this your projected "killer" lure at the start of the season and it paid off like you had intended, or did it surprise you and now you have a new best friend in the surf bag? For me, it was a 5 Oz bullet style Jig head with any form of paddle tail/eel imitator. Color did not seem to matter too much for me this season, granted this was my first full season down at the Ditch. There were times no matter what I tossed, even 4 oz jigs and I wouldn't get any action. I switch to a 5 oz with paddle and the majority of nights it was lights out fishing. I could not believe this. My catch ratio must have went up like 110%. For my technique and the spots I fished simply using the 5oz head over a 4 almost all the time proved more effective. However, there is a time and place for throwing a 4. The point is, jigging brought me great success and I could almost always count on the 5 oz bullet jig with paddle tail to give me something. This was by far my go to this season. If anyone wants to meet up for some jigging in the spring pm me sometime. How about everyone else's go to? -Al

Hello , I am going to make a solo trip down to the Canal Friday with my bike; and I am planning on pitching a tent at Bourne Scenic Park. I am new to fishing the Canal but had such a great time at Striperfest(not a ton of luck), I wanted to venture down from Portsmouth and experience the Canal and Cape once again before winter laces in its icy cold fingers. I was going to fish some Mackerel I pulled from the Odiorne/Jaffery point on Sunday(vacuumed sealed fresh) on a heavy 8oz weight on a fish finder rig as well as try some Squid I caught in Kittery Point Maine(the only luck I had during striper fest was on my Squid). Any advice would be very well received(I am not even set on my camping location). I would hate to make this trip and get skunked(but I know that’s all part of the game as well). I have been an avid fisherman my entire life, but pretty green with the striper moving to the seacoast from VT in Febuary 2015(accepted a job at Timberland PRO after ten years at Burton Snowboards). I am fully hooked and have logged as my hours as possible kayak, jetty and surf fishing the seacoast since the move and have had some great luck with a few 40”fish(all released). Thanks all! ~I am def. not trying to blow up anyone's spot.
