Exploring a NEW Desert Canal! Do Big Fish Live Here?

Рет қаралды 28,836

18 күн бұрын

Today we ventured to the deserts of AZ to find some fish and boy did we! We fished a new section of canal for me and ended up catching some fish.
We also sunk some livebait to see what we could catch. Exploring new areas is something I love doing so expect to see more of it! The desert canal is one of the best spots for both numbers and big fish!
Nothing like fishing with live bluegill! Let me know what you all wanna see next!

The problem with those canals is as soon as you walk up on them your shadow hits the water and this fish take off. I've seen huge bass in them and the second my shadow hit the water their gone. Your shadow hits the water before you even get the the edge

@timmontano8792 13 күн бұрын

I caught a bass similar to the size of your last catch a few days ago out of the center of a sunken tractor tire near the middle of the canal. A couple of days later I caught yet another bass out of another sunken tractor tire in a different stretch of canal in Mesa. I noticed that there were sunken tractor tires about every hundred yards or so. I'm wondering if the SRP deliberately places those tires in the canal or if some local slob just randomly throws tires into the canals just for kicks. Have you ever taken one of those castable sonars with you on your fishing trips and let it float up under bridges? I ask because I did this once thinking that under the bridges is where the big boys were hiding. My sonar didn't show any fish under the two bridges I tried scanning but, that could have just been because of the time of day or year or some other unknown factor. I mean, other than maybe there just wasn't any fish in that particular part of the canal system.

@TheFishinMagician20 13 күн бұрын

This was my first Subaru, for the price, its capabilities and gas mileage it’s the perfect vehicle for me right now. Even on stock tires and no lift I’ve taken it on some fairly harsh off road adventures. My gas is so good I can go up to northern Az (2 hr drive and a climb) and back to town on less than half a tank.

@TheFishinMagician20 14 күн бұрын

Have dead isn’t entirely accurate. But there’s no law against throwing them back after they’ve been pierced. Here it is a law however if a fish is released and it dies, it counts toward your limit. This guy kicked off great. Wouldn’t have mattered anyway cuz the limit is 10

@TheFishinMagician20 15 күн бұрын

I have been using them a lot more actually. The main reason is that I try to switch up different things in the video and I don’t like committing to one method. I also have a mainly bait audience here on KZfaq so I almost never fish just soft plastics.
