[ul][li]I keep one or two of those rapallas in my box at all times. [/li] [li]mega baits makes some realy noce holographics crank and jig baits. [/li] [li]Burkly makes some nice plastics that work well in the canals. [/li] [li]flies tied on to a three to five foot leader tied to a bubble is killer for spring and mid summer.[/li] [li]jitterbugs early morn and late evenings or overcast days are good. [/li][/ul]
for canal fishing I like the slower moving crank baits. but I will go to a mepps spinner from time to time with great suscess.
the fun of fishing canals are you never know what is going to come up day or night. catfish bass pike, most any thing that lives in the lake will eventualy venture in to the canal when conditions are right. so it may seem like at times you cant see a fish there many times they are laying in the weeds and under over hanging shrubs and in fallen trees.
you can spend countless hours working a canal and think you know every thing there is to know about it only to one day see some thing you would never have expected to be there.
half the fun of canal fishing is the experimentation. lets not for get live bait. when canal fising if you can provide a bug that is bussing around the water you will do well,
