I think I wish I had a canal like that in my back yard!!!
I'm not that experienced at bucketmouths -- have only caught a few in my lifetime. Have you ever tried the Banjo Minnow? I have a set and they actually work really well for smallie and largemouths. They're really easy to fish, especially in close range like that and if you can see the fish take it in even better you can set the hook and bring them out. Any other very lifelike soft plastic should do well too, like maybe 4" senkos or imitations.
Are there panfish in that canal too?
