Anything and everything in the canal. I target bass with soft plastics when water is warm and weedy as well as top-waters like buzz-baits & frogs. Spinner Baits, swim-baits, Rapalas, etc during cold water. Pickerel, Pike and Musky in there too so if you break off chances are it was one of those. I'll use a lightweight leader at times.

Find a good brush pile and target pan fish with shiners.
Chicken livers is my go to Catfish bait.
Carp... find a mulberry tree in the spring. Corn is always good too.

If you have access to a canoe or kayak I highly recommend this over walking the tow path.
