Highway 400 and Canal Road

[ToxicAvenger]

Greetings everyone, this is my first report. I fished this location for the first time about a month ago. I was fishing for pike, but only caught a few small bass. The water was very murky and slightly weeded along the shore. I saw a few other people fishing with live worms, don't know if they caught anything. Went again last week for a few hours, caught one bass, still no sign of pike. Now the weeds have expanded almost half way across the canal. Seems worth trying to target bass when season opens.
I wonder if anyone has tried fishing the other canal running along South Canal Bank Road?

Went back today. This time I was fishing for bass. Caught 2 and lost another 2. they were all about a pound. the weeds have expanded a bit now and the water is still very murky. I saw a few huge carp swimming by the weeds near the surface

Finally a picture worthy fish from this canal, caught on a scumfrog. Weighed at 4 Lbs. My foot is there just for size reference. (size 10 btw)

I also caught a 2.5 Lb pike the same evening. First pike I caught there

It is nice fish thank you for the report

And all that farm run off makes that canal a very polluted stretch of water.

That is true, but bass don't seem to mind.
