Packing up gear and will be there for weekend. Weather will determine my arrival time. Planning for the worst hopping for the best.

What do you think is the most consistent lure/bait for the canal?  I've tried a ton but I never catch fish on the same lure.  Schoolies seem to hit stickbaits like SP Minnows and Bombers but I've never got anything large on those.  Savages and top water for pigs?

Vacation starts at sunrise. 11 days of fishing weather permitting. Spikes or no spikes  for ditch?

Jeez that is a pig.  Care to share what you got it on?  I also see you have a casting pointer finger protector (I think that's the technical name).  I sliced my finger real good last Friday and man does it suck to cast with a slice on the tip of your finger.

5 oz  Savage sand eel ....green mac

That SP minnow is one of the best lures for the canal......and at 9$......price cant be beat. If someone asked me...what should I bring to the canal........  I'd say.....U NEED a green mac savage sand eel.....Yeah.... I'm on their staff...so you think I'd have to say that. NOT TRUE......this has EASILY been my number one canal producer and I fished them hard way before.

 1...savage sand eel
 2... sp minnow  in silver or green mac
 3... white bucktail
 4... canal style (flat bottom) wooden pencil popper.........Maybe spend a lil extra on this one.... get something nice ( guppy,lefthook, etc)
 
 Head to the canal with these 4 and you should really be looking good. If I could only pick one...... Savage sand eel.... It can be jigged...or just bounced.........can be swam in at mid column......or u can reel it in right on top.
