Basically slack. Maximum possible visibility. Can see probably 40-50ft on the horizontal, and silhouettes are plainly visible from above. But looking down? the bottom stays hidden until within 15 or 20ft. Had to compress the clips some to fit under the 14MB limit on gifs, so clarity isn't quite the original 1080p. After dark, visibility is limited to silhouettes against the surface. And lateral line movement jazz. Color at 50ft deep, at midnight, in a screaming tide?? Zero. Simply different shades of grey, at best, that are moving.. and catch the lateral line and/or eye of a bass, when in very close. Last of the freespooled vertical drop: ###### Bounced along bottom like a jig: Hey that's very cool ........curious what the transaction looks like to the RIP rap on the edge. Thanks for posting that cool to see. troll #122 <*)))< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they did at the east end a year or so ago. Here's one video approaching mid canal. Just sand and widely scattered mussel beds. This spot is allegedly known for not being a snag problem. Here is why: it's nearly all sand. I cut in on the video about halfway through the plunge, when the bottom comes into view. I dropped in on a bass Edited February 14, 2019 by rst3 Deep Hole and BadMojo 1 1 Fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive.

I have seen them grubbing on shallow flats (Brewster for exanple), going after creatures under the sand. But that's about the only example I can think of where they will hang out for a while in one spot. Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when boats are traversing the canal, it definitely gets loud. And I also noticed sound beneath the bridges. But to be clear, it's not loud 24/7 Fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive.

The riprap ends just below low water mark for lowest tides. At least in most places Ive looked just goes from sand and cobblestones or mussels to a few scattered riprap, to suddenly all riprap Edited February 14, 2019 by rst3 Fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive.
