Arizona Canal Catfishing with Punch Bait!

We headed out for a short urban Arizona canal trip and it paid off! The channel catfish were biting! Canal fishing can be very tricky, especially when you can’t find the fish. I had fished 2 other spots this day with no luck until I came here. The canal catfish were eating the Stryker punch bait, specifically the anchovy and garlic flavors. This bait has yet to fail me in an area with fish. The bites came fast for these catfish, but after about an hour and a half it just died. This tends to happen. Catfishing Arizona can be very fun! You just need to be willing to move around to find the fish. The urban fishing scene here is amazing and loaded with canals and ponds. Channel catfish are all over the place. Go find them!
