Multispecies at the Canal

[Hookmanski]

Day off, fish on! I headed down to the Lambertville section of the Delaware Canal to get some fishing in. They were biting today boys!! The hurricane coming in and the overcast skies seemed to help. I caught 38 fish total;

9 bluegill
4 largemouth
18 redbreast
2 pumpkinseed
1 black crappie (my first ever!!!)
2 yellow perch
2 smallmouth (Caught in Clinton on my way home)

I never really fished the Canal before, only walked by it, and it was filled with life. Saw turtles, a copperhead, blue herons, and tons more. Every fish caught today was caught on the legendary trout magnet in pink, all fish were released. I really wanted to catch a pickerel because I've never caught one before, but couldn't make it happen. However, the first larry I caught was SHREDDED by one, covered in lacerations and bleeding like crazy. Must've gotten bit while I was reeling him in!

All in all I had a great day and will definitely be returning to the Canal. Tight lines all!
