trying to buy a house right now so hopefully in a few months i will be able to get a boat. in the mean time, i am going to figure out what to use in the canal behind my house. currently, i use a small hook and some bread and the tiny bait fish love it. some bluegill's here and there. i'd like to catch something of more size and put up more of a fight... not too sure what else is in there though. im thinking it is maybe 3-6ft deep. a lot of lily pads and nervous to loose tackle 3ft from my feet when something is snagged ya know? hence the small hooks and bread. kinda lame but i have no other choice.
