Thanks! So that leads to my big question.

In the spring, I'll troll the banks and move at a decent pace until I get some bites, then slow down and fish the area hard.

This time a year, what's the best way to explore a canal so I'm not wasting tons of time on a dead canal?

I'm thinking I should till look for laydowns and structure that might hold off the bank, or grasspatches and shade like PPG said. Or do people just sonarscan the middle of the canals before ever dropping a line down?
