Both Sam and Jerry ended >up with mud on their bows and sterns from going into the mazes. I've canoe fished in Elkhorn slough a few times, launching from Kirby Park. Farther up, those side paths don't go back very far but are still influenced by the tides. During high tides a lot of leopard sharks, bat rays, and guitarfish go up into the side paths and then hang out in the shallow water as the tide goes out. We've spooked a lot of fish going up during low tide and they can make quite a ruckus when they frantically swim back toward deeper water. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri May 19 2000 - 05:07:09 PDT
