For jigging only, many anglers use 10' and 11' Black Hole Surf II Heavy rod. For combination of plugging and jigging I recommend 10' and 11' Black Hole Striped Bass Special 2 oz - 8 oz rod. ' It is an awesome plugging rod though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the action was mostly top waters I would also highly recommend bringing/using a bike as it makes fishing the canal much easier and ultimately more productive.

TLap21 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 You need a club to make sure you have more than a few feet between you and the muggers that come out of the woods as soon as you hook up. Duh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLap21 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I doubt even those can get you 50 yards on each side of you! Also, I’m not sure if you’re serious, but there is very limited space for dogs. I wouldn’t take mine on the rocks, that’s for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aglenn Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 I would just opt to stay home if i were you. Its no longer any fun down there. Youll be fishing with a bunch of out of towners that will act like they are regulars and talk about the 26 pound cow they caught yesterday morning in the "blitz" then they'll cross your line and try to fight you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
