Urban Arizona Canal Fishing with Worms! (Big Fish)

We hit the Arizona canals not knowing what we were going to catch, but ended up getting a mini slam! We caught bass, tilapia and also carp!
Worms are such an underrated bait now a days. Everyone is into using the fancy new baits and forget that worms are just as effective.
The summer is hitting hard here in Arizona, so the fishing can be tough. It is important to find the shade in the canals or even in the urban ponds.
Urban fishing can be really fun especially when you find those really big bass or tilapia. Get yourself a bobber and start drifting it under those bridges!

I'm a Arizona born guy and have fished the canals since I was a child. I love how people just cruise by totally oblivious to the fact that there's fish in the canals! 🤣

Yes you can eat them. Tilapia, bass, bluegills, carp, all edible. Water is from rain and snow above and flows into the rivers and canals. No different than the lakes above. Born and raised here in Arizona.

[@huRlrnd3lders]

Live worms are really one of my favorite baits. Any fish will eat worms, so they let you know what is in the water. You also get fish of all sizes. Oh, I read the regulations, and most of the codes. I also questioned the game police, or whatever they are called, on live bait. There's discrepancies between what the cop said and the regulations PDF. First, the PDF explains that these "rules" are made by a "commission", which sounds different from a legislating body to me. The regulations states that the commission decides where live bait is "allowed". Most of the allowed bodies of water are in the southern half of the state, but you have to check for your specific location. The cop told me it's not allowed in Yavapai Co. at all. Although the regulations show part ot the Verde river being permissible. Second, she said water dogs (along with crayfish) were also banned up in Yavapai, and alluded to them being banned like the (fish) live bait. The regulations states the they are larvea of a tiger salamander and not considered game. Although they are specifically banned in certain waters and areas. Third, the cop said that bait shops cannot sell live bait, and the regulations provide a way for bait shops to apply for a live bait license, this would include certain kinds of minnows as I read it. Sun fish are the only acceptable game fish, and you must catch it where you ate using it Finally, I asked her who is the commission...she said "we are". So I asked what is the specific code which bans the use of live bait and provides a punishment for a violation. She told me where to find the DGF codes generally, not the live bait code. They were also sticklers for killing your fish before transporting, and no transporting of live fish. So expect a ticket if caught in Yavapai

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Yes worms are under rated! Yes I have done some digging on that as well. Pretty much found out what you just said

[@huRlrnd3lders]

@@TheFishinMagician20 when law enforcement cannot keep track of the law, there is too much law. Also it says giving away fish counts as the receiver's limit. Then I found in another area of "rules" saying you can't give away fish. The cops didn't punish anyone for this yesterday. The law got Californicated, I've seen this before.

[@BillyAZ2001]

Myself and a friend have fished that very spot dozens of times. All Bass though. We're doing drop shot roboworms of various colors. Definitely would not throw any crank or spinnerbaits in there due to lots of objects at the bottom. Not that we have any experience woth that of course...
