It's beautiful isn't it... it's back to old canal times . When you had to have knowledge and know how and hard work ethic to find a few fish . Good old times

The simple fact is that a lot of people that read those reports are as dumb as the rocks they stand on. They think that the Ditch is the same as a lake and that nice bass nest will be in the same place tomorrow. Ditch = high and low, west and east currents, slack current to about 6mph. All of this as the tides change in time an hour plus a day. Add in weather and finicky bait and a good spot just an hour ago could be a dud for days. BUT! post a pic or a video and hordes will show up for a week to stand in the same spot in the belief that the fish are there and only there. One good thing - when I see those posts I go anywhere else but and can usually find a nice spot.

I read the reports but as others said it just provides a general idea of what’s going on. Fish move and a good report doesn’t mean good fishing the next day. Of course  the shops want to get people into the stores so the report usually has a positive spin. “While canal slowed on Thursday the moon tide ,southernly breezes and girls jogging could bring the fish in from the east and the west”.

I recall a number of years ago (early-mid 2000"s) a prominent online magazine fishing report site that has been mentioned in this thread reported albies busting at the charles river locks in Boston (no, I didn't go chasing them...but I did laugh out loud...LOL)...so I take this stuff with a grain of salt. I glance at these reports to get a general idea of what may be around but rely much more heavily on my fish logs from past years...and to be fair to the site I was referring to, I think they had since changed hands and are run by a new group of people...
