re: fishing canal, river, and lake by TRivers in Madisonville

T-rivers will be loud, but the canal won't. If you go as far back as Guste Island bridge or farther, you can set out yo-yo's, trot lines, jugs, and then troll banks trying to catch bass. I have had some luck in there with bass and cats (and gar but they get tossed back). The shallow grass across the river from T-rivers is a decent spot to try but you want catch anything with all the boat traffic.
