Throwing a Big Popper in the Cape Cod Canal

[@jackcollins405]

Lawson it’s so good to see you on a north send like this. Fishing all the best places. I live on Cape Cod in Falmouth. Not too far from where u fished. Awesome job my man!

[@Cookerab]

Stripahs kid. Gotta learn that wicked new england fishing lingo. Late season stripahs are the best

[@jackgranberg1336]

I fish the canal a lot and this makes me so happy that people are finally putting respect on the cape and mass in general

[@christopherpeterraby]

Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty us now granted....I used to hear that everyday lol, love the vids Lawson

[@fishinmagician81]

Oh Yea I do miss My N.E. Lobsta rolls,used to live 30 min. from there , Nice job Bombin Boston ya just got to do it , Blessings to you and Chelsea

[@Hainero2001]

It's too bad they are still so shut down over covid. What a contrast to Florida. At least the fishing is still happening. Great vid as usual.

[@edbranch3239]

Awesome series of videos so far brother.

[@7kproductionsTv]

Great video bro ! Got me itching for spring

[@letsgetit2962]

Ever since I moved from Boston to Florida fishing the canal is one of the things I miss the most... oh ya, those lobster rolls & chowder also!!!

[@jasonw5619]

I fish the canal all summer it can be epic with 30 lbers and it can’t be dead with nothing

[@drifteroutdoors]

I love the liberty pipe for the coast guard station at the end

[@swagdawgwill11]

July and August new moons are the times to fish the canal, would love to see you back up there then great vid as always

[@staytight6340]

Yes those are really good times,especially if you have zero skill at fishing😃

[@SellsZac]

I really enjoy the chapter sections on the videos now, nice change.

[@jacksica7808]

super cool that you are doing this road trip

[@soulnatre9495]

I like how you split up the video. It adds some movie feeling. Keep up the good work!

[@tyler9708]

The one day I took off from fishing the Canal! Loving the toad trip videos!

[@nickjaworski0378]

Love the travel series, Stripe bass are not Gt, the big ones are fat lazy fish and don’t want to chase a bait that is going to take a lot of effort to catch. Try slowing down your retrieve speed and make smaller pops when your fishing top water. Love the vids

[@alpapwn3405]

Its about time!!

[@lamiglass1]

Lawson I very much respect your dedication to the sport. Make a trip there in early July

Great footage bro !!! Try to keep that rod tip up for more leverage on bigger fish 🤙🏾

[@ajr7288]

Lawson, great content man! Keep it coming! You actually fished the same spot in New Haven that I go to! Would have been cool to show you a more productive spot near by!

Awesome New England send. Would have loved to have seen a lil more southern CT fishing , but the last lil 10sec spot looked familiar. Keep fishing and doing what you do fam. Tight lines 🎣

New haven has great food

[@Fifilebrocolis]

Bravo de France 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷👍👍👌👌

[@philipklug7784]

The canal was great 25 years ago, before everyone started posting blitz reports on the Internet. It was always a popular spot but now it's a zoo.

[@Vercingetorix.Fantasia]

Its definitely still great. Yes its crowded and yes lots of grogan's but it's no salmon river on Montauk. Besides if the crowds at the canal bother you there are hundreds if mile of shoreline and a crew of wetsuit nuts getting into 30s and 4os from the rocks

[@TheManofmisc]

What an intro!

[@patrickbaxter8533]

Knew that one area look familiar. Stowes has some good seafood. Been there several times when I lived in CT.

[@roelfriasjr5976]

Hey Lawson I recently bought a 4k, and 6k reels. I want to fish bigger lures, and some jetties fishing. What heavy rod set would you recommend for that size reel?

[@fathommyskill46]

@Roel Frias jr XH or XXH 20-50lb mono-30-80lb braid star rods are really good, as well any where from 5k-8k should be more than enough.

[@roelfriasjr5976]

@@fathommyskill46 I appreciate the feed back. I normally just fish inshore in the bay of South Texas. So I'm usually rocking a 2500, or 3000.

[@tygoom]

Really long drive meaning your hitting the mecca of eastern fishing mtk point ???

[@swagdawgwill11]

Ever since Jon b posted those vids here when we that sick run in 2017 the place has been an absolute zoo. Striped Bass are doomed

[@dustinfehr3466]

So sad. The trash brought more trash.

[@lamiglass1]

Jon B had nothing to do with the canal becoming a zoo, all he did was attract googans to that place. I’ve been fishing the cape since 99 and that canal was bad back then

[@Cookerab]

Plenty of places to catch stripers from maine down to the nc and probably further south. Grew up on fishers island sound in CT. In the 80s they were few and far between. Since the mid to late 90s it is insane how healthy the fishery is.

[@swagdawgwill11]

@@Cookerab Dude. the striped bass population today is nowhere near what it was like in the early 2000s. If you think the population today is healthy you are out of your mind. Yes, there are pockets of good fishing like block, Montauk the cape and Rhode Island, but their population is nothing compared to what its been. Theres a reason they had to put a slot on these fish last year. Look at the stocks and the statistics of the striper population over the years and ask anyone whose been fhisng for them since the 90s, they would all tell you their numbers are way down

[@swagdawgwill11]

@@lamiglass1 Getting hundreds of thousands of views fishing the canal with 25 pounders every cast definitely had an impact dude. No wonder there hasn't been a crazy run there since 2017, place is getting hammered

[@mitchprates5414]

Cant belive u hit west haven beach... stowes is the best seafood..

Lawson you should have stopped in MD we could have gone snakehead fishing

Lawson, if you can swing up to GA I’d love to have you come striper fish Lake Lanier with me. Lanier is fantastic for Monster spotted bass and Big ole stripers. Good time of year

Anyone know what shoes he’s wearing ? They look comfy AF
