Not really california, but how do you guys fish the canals in Yuma? I mean, can You just drive up to a canal and start fishing. I know about the legal issues, but are the fish scattered all over the canals. Is it as easy and stopping and casting into them? I found a little canal right next to a hotel we stay in every year for my brother's baseball tourneys, just wondering hwo to fish them.

Those guys live at the canals.

Good Luck (and let us know what you find out)
