Is that in Spencerport? I've fished the canal in Greece plenty of times and had awful luck. And so has everyone I talk to. I could literally walk the canal with my lure in the water, basically trolling near the bank and get nothing. I'm probably better off going to Charlotte Pier.
great video man! my girlfriend and I fish just up the trail on the other side of the canal and we've always been wondering what baits/lures are most visible. thanks for a great tip and a great video to watch!
Thank you! yeah those spinnerbaits have been doing great so far this year. I've also been experimenting with different color worms too for a wacky rig setup, and it seems like they will hit most natural colors. if you wanna try something really different, try a whopper plopper and go for a topwater fish. Topwater Blowups are the funnest thing to see in fishing. skim them along the side of the canal about 8 feet away from shore.
Great times . Were on canal was this? I am in Tonawanda Canal Zone . And next time I go will only use spinner and whoppers cause of this video , my friend who I go with says live worms are way to go. He has got me hooked on fishing since last summer Great video
This is just west of Rochester in one of the villages near there. And for when you go out and try fishing, add a wacky rig to that setup. Theres a video I did later in the year where I caught 9 fish on just a wacky rig in the morning. That trio of lures, the wacky rig, whopper plopper and spinnerbait has caught me about 98 Percent of my fish this year
Hi there, to help answer that question better I would highly reccommend reading through the DEC Fishing guide book, specifically the sections on bodies of water from around where you live. It has very in depth details as to exactly what fish you can and can't keep, both by species and the size of the fish, and what time of the year you are you allowed to catch and keep. You can get a physical copy of this when you get a fishing license, but you can also download a PDF to your phone, which is what I always have on me. Generally speaking, Largemouth and Smallmouth out of the Erie canal have to be at least 12 inches to keep, with a max of 5 keepers per day during the open season for bass.

What part of the Erie Canal are you fishing, what city?
I fish the canal west of Rochester, through most of the villages there up through Holley NY
