You missed the queue. You caught a channel catfish in the channel. Urban fishing is great gotta love it!❤😂

I spent a day in Northern Mesa with a gentleman who was fishing the canals to feed his family of 12. None of the fish he caught looked even remotely healthy, but he said they were so much better than the fish he would catch in Mexico City.

Children in a poor country is the only retirement plan available.

Two ideas for bait to try there. One is simple - Green Giant niblet corn. Niblets are harder than normal canned corn. Easy to stack on a hook. - Wheaties. Take a box of Wheaties cereal. Open the box and crush the cereal to a rough powder. Pour the powder into an old sock. Soke the sock in the river water. Squeeze the water out of the sock. Invert the sock and pull out the ball of Wheaties dough. Press the dough into a pancake like object on a flat surface in the sun and let it dry out for 15 minutes. Break off chunks of the pancake and ball up onto a hook. Dough should be sticky like playdough. Carp and catfish go nuts for that.

@EdTex7643

Tubular wound bandage/dressing for fingers and toes works great to keep different bait on the hook, with multiple cast. I use fresh liver.

I fish pike, specifically targeting large fish, but I also have fun fishing Carp with my little girl using bread and corn. A very intelligent and elusive fish at times, and they put up a great fight.

if you go carp fishing again, try top water bread, easy way to do it is grab a bit with crust and white, fold it so its size you want, take the hook hold it wrap the line around the bread 3 times, then take the line and hook it around the hook pull it tight a little and throw it out there, always works :)

That Mountain Valley Express tractor trailer that drove past after you caught the 1st cat fish I drive for that company,,,,

I love it when the stretches of canal I fish have alot of shrubbery growing out of the concrete walls. It's some of the closest things to "Structure" that the fish can relate to. In most areas I've fished, shopping carts and lawn furniture make up that structure, and an occasional sunken tractor tire. Question of the day: Have you ever cast your line and it goes a bit farther than you intended, it hits the far concrete bank and the hook gets snagged on a some king of burr in the concrete and you end up having to break it off and start from scratch? I hate that $h_t.

I worry about the bass you weren't catching enough bream. they may not get food until a good rain brings lake or river into the ditch. The channel cats will thrive they eat algae, and vegetation. Shellcracker can eat bugs but more into mollusk's, snails, etc. I have seen big bream in tiny ditches. even the one and a half foot across ones. that you just step over. and they would be healthy due to all the grass brush in these areas a lot of bugs hitting the water. very common around Louisiana areas. anything that connects to lakes. you should be getting healthy channel and carp out of that little thing. there plenty of vegetation algae growth in the water there.
