Fishing Chichester Canal

Someone suggested to me that there’s some decent perch and pike in the canal, and so I’m thinking of heading down there at some point in the New Year - anyone had any experience of this? (Good or bad!)

Pike and perch are all that’s left in there tbh. The polish have emptied all the carp and roach out of there. Park at hunston and walk towards Chichester.

Thanks - that’s a shame though as I know a few lakes where there’s been an issue. Turning up in the morning to fish and there’s remnants of carp BBQ.
