Here's a fishing report from today for the Shinecock Canal in eastern long island. This canal has a lock and concrete bulkhead,
"got up at 4:00 am, rain coming down hard it didn't matter i am going fishing. the locks open at 5:00 am. 15 minutes after the water starts moving i could see fish were busting under montauk hwy. 6 casts resulted in five bass landed and one droped. action died down after that so i moved to under the rr tracks.every cast i was hooking up with a bass,then the rain stopped and the fishing broke wide open. the canal was packed with bass, i stopped counting around 30 fish.as the sun came up the fishing got better,called it quits around 7:30 am. the fished ranged from rats to heavy teens and one big blue fish.fish were hitting a blue swim shad"
A conservative estimate of this fellow's catch rate would be a fish every 4.5 minutes without taking a brake for 2 hours 15 minutes. But his rate could be possibly as high as a fish every 3.5 minutes because he "stopped counting around 30 fish." The bulkhead is sort of high so there is an effort (especialy with fish that weight 15#) to bring the fish up to release.
Is this rate possible on spinning tackle? The tall tales of fall are starting right now.
