I have always been fascinated with the Cape Cod Canal fishery. The depth, current, and submerged structures of this seven mile “inlet” represent a system full of fishy patterns. On my last last fishing trip to the Cape Cod Canal, I landed a keeper striped bass. The size of the fish is not worthy writing about; but, the pattern is! 😉
This season I have fished location “X” three times: at the same time of day and during the same moon phase. The first two times, the tide was flowing “right”. The third time, the tide was flowing “left”. I fished the same plugs all three times, with the addition of the Northbar bottle darter (7.25″, 2.5 oz, blurple) on the third fishing trip. I know this because I keep a detailed fishing journal! 😉
On my fourth fishing trip to location “X”, I will make sure that the tide is flowing in the correct direction and that I have plenty of Northbar bottle darters. 😉
