Heading out east for a family Birthday party this weekend. Any info on the Murray canal pan fish wise, Looking for the elusive Crappie.

 

Thanks

Never caught a crappie there but lots of sunfish, perch and pike.

If you have a boat, Brighton Bay is worth a visit.

I used to shore fish it right by the eastern swing bridges. Road on the south side leads to the old railway bridge. Seen bass, the usual small stuff, sheepshead, pike & occasional walleye, and gobies of course. Never any crappie though. It was a nice place to shore fish, better before or after the highway swing bridges were in operation for the day. Threw everything in the tackle box in there just to try it out. Slip floats with worms & small minnows worked well (as always), or a walking sinker/floating jig head tipped with all kinds of plastics etc.
