There’s not too many of us bottom fishing canal rats these days. Lures work well but there’s nothing better than watching the rod bend and hearing the drag take off. To me it’s a completely different experience. It’s almost two different sports.

I am the squidders biggest fan,,,i probably have 30 or 40,,i buy every one i see, at flea markets,,,,and its the best saltwater reel,, with those takedown knobs,,,so easy to maintain,,,its the best,,,I use the penn squall now,,,cause, its got the spin forever bearings,,,and casts further then the squiddah,,,and its got the magnetic, anti backlash,,,its almost cheating,,,,ya still need the educated thumb, tho,,,I can get 3/4 across the canal, with that reel,,,its pure pleasure, to fish, and if ya got the educated thumb, from the squiddah, which I'm sure you do,,,youll love the squall,,,its pure POWER, too,,,nothin stronger, than a conventional,,,and I think they're about 160ish,,,so real affordable Penn quality,,,and personally, I think that the conventional reels,,,look sharp, as heck, too,,,,real fun to fish!!,,,,,by the way, the world record distance cast,,,was done on a tricked out, conventional,,,,,,,😎

@@striperhunter-ic2wt you can pimp out your own squidders, now,,,I did a few, theyre awesome,,,you buy these aluminum bar stock, milled pieces, to replace the stock crossbars,,,comes in great colors, too,,then you get the oversized handle, with huge grip, it increases the revs, of the spool,,,makes the reel look awesome,,,if only they'd come out with a bearing replacement to smooth out, the spool revs for longer casts,,,if they came out with that,,id go back to the sqidder,,,I might do a segment, showing a few tricked out ones, cause I know a lot of us old school guys, feel this way, about that reel,,,a mint condition one goes about 100 bucks, on ebay, now, if ya can find em,,,theyre such a simple well built reel, and drag,,anyone, can work on em too,,,that's why I like the van stahls,,,theyre the squidder, of the spinning reel world,,,,they just keep working, and working,,,waaay pricey tho,,,took a while b4 I was able,,,but worth every penny,,,😎

The spot, I featured today,,,Gallos,,,is easy to get to,,,and the Cribbins,,,on the mainland side,,,is pretty easy access, just b4 the herring run,,look for a pulloff,,,and some steep stairs,,,,honestly,,,90%, and more,,,of the canal,,,is QUIET,,,,7 miles,,,and both sides,,,mostly,,,just go to the bourne rec area,,,with ample parking,,,,walk abut 10 yards, to the access rd,,,underneath the bourne bridge,,,and the world is your oyster,,,go right or left,,,and find 7 MILES OF PEACE, AND FISH,,,,the map, helps to find the holes,,,as does my spot checks, at the end of each weekly episode, this year,,,,,also,,,youll find, part 1, of this series, extremely helpful, if youre not familiar, with the canal,,,youll like it,,,have fun,,,catch fish,,,and thanks for watchin!!😎

Good Morning Paul. Fantastic video and great message. Same goes for everything, fishing, hunting, gardening. It’s all about time spent. Pouring rain here today but gonna soak some bait myself this afternoon. Nice fish and great video as always. Regards Mark PS. Any chance I can get your email address?

It's amazing, Mark, how many people, mostly young, or foreign, think this,,,I was hesitant to post that, at the risk of coming off, mean spirited, but they are so blunt, in coming up, and asking such obvious things,,basically, they should just go to the fish market, and BUY IT,,,and go home, and claim victory,,,LOL,,,theyre not interested In FISHING, JUST GLORY,,,,anyway,,,how would we do this, for the email, as so many people see this,,I don't think we'd want that,,,😎
