This spring, I caught several over 4 pounds and one over 6. I know there are signs everywhere but I live directly on one of the canals and it's torture not to fish when it's nice out. Every once in a while you'll catch a 10 pound cat too. Most people walking their dogs will ask if they're biting but they never give me a hard time. In my mind I'm helping because I make a point to pull any trash out that see floating and throw it away. Most of all, if they ever leave that ramp open, I would looooove to put my boat on It and do 60 mph in the canal! Lol
