The northeast corner canal system can be very productive during the spawn from January through April though access is dependent on water depth. Fishing top water, swim baits, and Senko type baits seem to be the go-to baits in the can. The best colors for soft-plastics on Clay seem to be those of neutral tones. Water clarity is usually fairly clear so watermelon-red, green-pumpkin, green, and mixtures of similar colors will get the job done. For the two drop-off areas that taper down to 20 feet, cranking deep divers and Carolina rigs can produce some good fish especially during the peak heat of the summer.
