Cape Cod Canal - 2018

Dick I use chunks of googan for great whites 

  Big bait= big fish...use the whole googan!

I tried...need a stronger rod blank.  Average weight of a googan is up, the 1209 6-12oz cant maintain! 

Hope your still slaying Joe!

LMAO.

Jon - let them swim out like live pogeys or mackerel and you will be just fine using live googans on your current rod blank. There is a post where Joe explains a good baloon trick that may help as well. LMFAO!

[lowaccord66]

Tried it...they always swim back to shore ones a shark comes in...tangle the line...

I'm ready for the showdown this weekend.

I am free Saturday. Looks like it might be wet but the fish wont care. To fluke or to Canal?

See this is where you go hand lining... you use a giant air cannon and shoot them out of it...it's easier on the shoulder joints!...just use circle hooks.. that way you can/might  get 2 sharks per googan..

still hitting them pretty good between lightning bolts.. no monsters about a 25 lb average... still beats a sharp stick in the eye.

Glad you are on the fish Joe. I secured a babysitter for Saturday so I may make a run to the block for a chance at a 50 plus.

Good luck Mike!  Joe I was thinking of your routine with the boat and eels and then thinking about my boat and ipilot...ot would be pretty stealthy no?

[Roccus]

stealth is the name of the game... I've had more hot bites cancelled by knuckle heads that think that their 4 stroke engine does not disturb the fish....I've gone from doubles and triples to just plain drowning eels and aggravating the calcium in my shoulder joints after they troll over feeding fish in 4' of water...

Me and the lady (and our lab) are in eastham. im going to poke around today with her (pun intended) and enjoy some time without our 6 year old dropping 200 words a minute. 

Tonight though the gloves come off.  Garufi what time are you leaving?  I need to get these new simms waders all snotty and broken in!

Eel time!

Crushed them from 2am to 8am. Probably ended up with around 30 fish but most were small keepers. Only caught a couple of 20lb fish.
