New Canal Recommendation, Miami, Florida

[rchiuz]

Hi all,

I have been fishing the C-9 Snake Creek Canal for a while and I am looking for a change of scenery. Are there any canals anyone could recommend for a bank fisher? Safety comes in mind since I usually fish on my own.

Thanks in advance!

One of the best things of South Fl, are the endless amounts of canals. Google Earth is a valuable resource in this situation.

I went fishing at the canal on the north side of AD Barnes Park this past Saturday, although I only caught one Peacock it was a nice one.  I had other bites but had the line snap twice trying to pull it up from the water level to the bank where I was at.  Its like a 5 ft drop off so I guess I need a net next time.  Here the pic of the pea that i caught.

Nice catch! I get what your saying. I was trying to fish C-11 the griffin road canal and it was just to steep. It didn't help the water seemed low with no activity.

Look on google maps, Like Lou said, the canals are endless around here. Look out west like Pembroke pine, Miramar, Weston if your looking for spots in broward but close to dade.

Sadly Jonny I have been out to Tamiami Trail several weekends in a row now and have been skunked every time. The water levels are extremely high, and I'm not even seeing any bass. Water is very clear right now. Very little signs of life other than mullet. Tamiami has produced in the past for me but not recently.

Caught a bowfin and alligator gar on the C-1 black creek canal earlier today.  Only 1 largemouth. Way out west close to krome ave.
