Lousy Bank Fishing

Went to the Haulover Canal on Saturday and tried for some of the 30 pound plus redfish that live there, with no results.

I was using half of a ladyfish for bait on two surf rods with 60# Power Pro, 4 oz. egg sinkers and 30# fluorocarbon leaders snelled to 5/0 Owner circle hooks.

The hurricane evidently shut down the bite for the big bull redfish that usually run up and down the canal.

All around the area, waders, boaters and bank fishermen alike weren't doing so well either.

It should be noted that most of the drives were roped off by the NASA people either because of an upcoming shuttle launch, or the high water conditions.

The Black Point wildlife drive was apparently open, but the adjacent drive, which is a redfish hot spot was closed to vehicle traffic as of Saturday afternoon.

Oh well, at least the wildlife was available for some nice pics.....

Tight Lines to all!
