The rocks along the banks of the Cape Cod Canal are notoriously slippery, and it is very easy to take a tumble if you are not careful.
In fact, I am honestly amazed that more people do not injure themselves when fishing at the Cape Cod Canal.
Wearing korkers is a great way to help ensure steady footing on the slipperly surface of the canal's rip-rap. However, korkers can be expensive and believe it or not there is a much less expensive solution.

This season make sure to take it easy on those rocks! If you incorporate the tips that Garth has shared, then you will definitely lose your footing less often and probably prevent a tumble or two.
As always please let us know what you think by commenting below, and good luck out there fishing this week

Decided not to wear my Corkers on day Three cause I was doin “alright”
Bad decision. And as I lay there on the rocks lookin up at the stars…
Ah man, hope you didn’t get banged up too bad Steve. ?
Good old fashioned yankee ingenuity.
Yes sir. Garth is a canal genius!
May 18 2017, slipped while releasing a schoolie by the train bridge and broke my shoulder in 2 places. Hopefully this summer is a bit safer
Oh man, ouch!
Gluck this year and hopefully that shoulder has healed up 100%.
