Default Canal Pickerel

Friend wanted to fish with me so we booked it to the fish ladder. Dead heron on the rock bank and low water, so plan b was the canal

We're both googans and could hardly get a bite, but I understood how the bushy banks often hold fish more than the deep center. After dinks checking our lures out, I hook something HARD, and right off a bush.

Caught on a weightless zoom fluke. Weedless rigs a must. (Especially with a friend who can't resist casting into trees)

Who needs stocked pike?

I hear there's bass in here... Haven't gotten one over 8 inches yet.
