I Found a Hidden Canal and It Was LOADED w/ Fish!

We found a hidden canal and it was absolutely loaded! Crazy how the smallest spots always hold fish like this.
This tiny canal surprised me with how well we did. I need to make another trip here soon! Cannot beat canal fishing in Arizona!
(All my gear can be found here copperstatetac... or in store in Chandler AZ! I’m there all the time! Come by and tell them I sent you to save some money.)

Query - Would it be possible for you to share some of these locations so that your viewers don't have to waste time (and precious gas) roaming the city to search for them ? Phoenix and it's surrounds cover a HUGE area, so some guidance would be so greatly appreciated. Some of us are on a fixed income; gas is expensive now (though it didn't used to be), and wasting it is cost prohibitive ! This latest location looks interesting and I would like to try it, but looking for it on my budget isn't at all feasible !

[@TheFishinMagician20]

@@alphonsenormand9552 Unfortunately people don’t treat the areas with respect when I have done that in the past. Blasting a spot like this to a lot of people has its drawbacks. As far as the gas goes we’re one and the same. I too waste precious gas looking for new places to fish. Sometimes it’s for nothing. That’s just all in the game of fishing. If you want garuntee fish you have to fish in the urban ponds close by, or any pay to fish pond because fishing is a game of ups downs, and exploring and sometimes you just miss 🤷🏽‍♂️
