OP what do you like to fish for? I like to fish in the canal for carp because they put up a hell of a fight and if you know what your doing you can catch a bunch. You can also catch a lot of bass and pike in the right spots. Ellicot creek will have a lot of small pike running if you go 2hrs before dark or early morning. I like to start at the blvd and walk towards tonawanda and use thunder stick or any 4" jerk baits gold and silver work best. If you want to catch some big channel cats go to the canal when it starts to get dark and use raw shrimp on a sinker they love it! I won’t eat anything so i just try to catch the biggest fish for the fight and if you catch a 25+ pound carp hold on they will run and snap poles hehe… ---

> [@scsilver2](#): > > great info! So u suggest walking west from NFBLVD along the creek? If the rain holds I think I am gonna try my luck this evening Yes you can walk in the park or on the road side just park across the street from sunoco. I have the best luck by the walking bridge where your gonna park. When you walk up pass the bridge and start there. I haven’t been there this year yet but they should be coming through now. Good luck… ---

Its all gonna depend on how muddy the water is but i have fished there when it was pretty bad and still caught fish just stick with shiny stuff. If using the jerk bait like i said cast it hard let it splash and let it sit for a few seconds and give it a twitch… They will come when they hear it and just do jerks and pause… They will hit it before you move it or 9 times out of 10 its gonna be right at shore and scare the hell out of you lol… So don’t pull it out of the water right away cause they will follow it to shore. The figure 8 works good also just like for musky! ---

yeah, the fight of a fish like that can be great. We’re you trolling for those suckers or just tossing a jig line? ---

For that bass it was a standard in-line spinner. (blue fox, mepps or panther martins.) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/shore-fishing-2011/212384.md?page=2)
