Ok so I'm finally moved in and starting to settle in... I dropped the light off the dock tonight and there certainly is a good supply of very small bait but that seems to be about it... tried floating a gulp shrimp w/ the tide about 6 ft deep - nada... anyone seen anything in their canals this time of year? Any help/tips would be appreciated!

I've done alot of reading and a few posts up to now, but wanted to announce that We are finally leaving Missouri and moving full time to Poly Isles!!! Be there in early February! Thanks to all who have helped us get through the last couple of years and look forward to seeing our neighbors! We are psyched! Best wishes to all for a MUCH better New Year!

Hey bud, buy one of those dock lights you can mount and plug in..They are much brighter and much more well suited to attracting fish..The fish are there they might just have to get used to your dock..

Welcome to the area and also the neighborhood. As for the "fish weir", It never was a "fish weir" but was actually a concrete wall that the Army Corp. and FDEP required to close off the canal system many years ago (long, long, very long story). Through much effort and struggles of dedicated Homeowners Assn. members, it was partially removed for access years ago. More work and effort resulted in a nearly complete removal and the permenant access we now enjoy. As of late November we have a 50' wide access opening and 6' deep access channel.

As for fishing, I've tried for years to catch fish from my dock at one of the dead ends of the canals, but have yet to bag a keeper. I have seen lots of mullet, some redfish, specs, gar and once even a remora up here, so I guess anything's possible if you have the patience. The best fishing nearby is probably at the opening of the canal system to the bay, or just inside in Redfish Bayou. A bit futher out, try Garcon Point Bridge or 3 mile. :letsdrink
