Took my son yesterday late morning for a few hours. There are fish around. He had a decent one blow up on his plug 3 feet from sure and miss. That got his attention
Avoid the fish pier. There is easy fishing off the Sandwich boat basin outer wall. and if you want to "light duty" canal, you can go more towards the power plant where the rocks aren't too bad.
