canal carp

any one ever fish the birmingham canal ive been down the local canal(tyesly) no one ever really fishing it but theres some nice spots just not sure wether or not theres any carp in there and dont really wanna start pre baiting if theres no carp there to entice. <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: -->

Theres carp in most canals so dont see why theres none in there. Best bet would be start baiting 3 or more spots for few weeks and fish them one at a time. If you start having a few bream out then the carp shouldnt be far away.

What canal does the Birmingham canal join? I know that the Grand Union got alot of carp in so they can easily move into that one.

Hard work on canals but can be worth it pal.

Best bet would be to try a pm to Fazza for tips on canals. He not been on here for a while but heard from one of his work mates he prebaiting atm on canal round here. <!-- s:idea: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_idea.gif" alt="" title="Idea" /><!-- s:idea: -->
