Diversionary Canal.......Help?

[Eat Sleep Fish]

First off I dont want exact locations by any means from anyone.

I keep hearing about the diversionary canal and I have been trying to locate it on maps and the internet but im having trouble. I hear it drains from Hitchcock into Jones Lake between Harborwalk and highland bayou but I dont know where any of that is so I was just wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction on where to put my kayak in so I can get in the diversionary canal and around that area to get on some fish.

Any help and tips is very much appreciated.
Thanks everybody.

Thats a pretty long paddle from any boat ramp.There is a public boat ramp on the canal itself in Hitckcock...located on the road the Police station is on.,its about 5 mile down the canal till it opens up. The other boat ramp is FatBoys the paddle across Jones Lake maybe 3 miles.

WOW, haha I was thinking I could kayak up in there easily but I guess not.
Thanks for your help though.

Your best bet would be Louis Bait Camp on HWY 6. Still a good paddle though

You can also launch at the harborwalk bridge but you would have to leave you vehicle in a crappy place. I have done it more than once and have not been robbed...

Take a look at the south shoreline of Chrismas bay.You can drive up and launch your Ki Yak there and have a whole bay of skinny water fishing.Lots of little dirt roads leading to the bay from the Blue water Hiway.

Your taking a big risk doing this and the people I see fishing aren't the best of people (just sayin') you may not want them around your truck / car.

It is a close spot to put in though just be careful where you park along the road and aware of your surroundings.

Hey guys how deep is the canal? Can a boat other than a yak manuver without getting stuck?

Easily. I'm not sure the depth and I don't feel like going to the garage to get the map out of the boat. But I wanna say atleast 10'

X2 instead of paddling out that far he should hit up that marsh once he goes through the little canal there, i've caught plenty of reds from that area..
