Tomorrow I’m fishing in a canal. I’m planning on using minnows, maybe some worms. That usally gives me success. Any tips for getting them to bit and bit faster??? Also I catch the minows myself and just use bread, but is there anything btter to use to get them in the net very quick? Thanks for listening and please answer.
Well going now, it’s the Erie canal in NY state. It has the normal spices that most freshwater has.
well yesterday there were no minnows so no fishing!

You cannot predict how or when the fish are going to bite, so if you are catching them consistently, just keep doing what you are doing.
A very thin cast net will help you bring in minnows quickly.

Instead of letting the worm suspend below a bobber or sit on the bottom, fish it like you would a plastic worm, hopping it along the bottom. This works well for just about any type of fish. The good thing about this is it keeps the bait moving, bringing it to the fish instead of waiting for one to swim along and find it. The motion will also attract attention from the fish. I would fish the minnows on a slip bobber. Adjust the depth on a regular basis to find out where the strike zone is. I would also look for abnormalities in the canal to fish around. Most canals are kind of uniform with not a lot of changes in depth or cover, so they should concentrate around almost any change. Logs or other wooden cover, patches of vegetation, abnormalities in the shoreline where it dips in, juts out, or turns, culverts coming in, places where 2 canals meet, bridges,or just about anything else that looks different should be good places to find fish. Even a shady spot can hold fish if it’s different from the rest of the canal.

Where is the canal and what species are in there? Is it in an urban area?

I use oat meal paste and bread all mushed up into a spit wad I squeeze the water out and throw the little ball of it into the water so it splashes and it slowly falls apart as the food descends and the bait comes up to it.

why will you want to change something that is already giving you success?
key is to make it natural, attract the fish instead of making it find by chance.
make natural movements with bait, move it a bit but don’t move it some much that fishes scare away.
