holy crow this thing is awesome.. what should I be looking for here

fish in a river, closed in by locks on both ends. After the fall towards the winter the drain about 3 to 4 feet of water, and pump it back up during the start of spring. There isn't much structure, a couple bridges. I often find it difficult to locate bass or other fish, Pike Muskie some walleye. With no fish finder it makes it hard to not come back empty handed and I find myself back at the same places I have luck with smaller bass. So what id like to do is give a link to the area accessible by boat I can fish, and see if anyone can come up with any spots on the map that are worth spending time at. https://www.google.ca/maps/place/3071+Riverside+Dr/@45.3632026,-75.6881454,519m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cce063d4c21f029:0xe93820da1831c1f7 You can see if you click on the link. the road that ends moonies bay. Those are the one side of the locks. The other end of the locks are about 5km down, a placed called black rappids. I normally end along some rock structures that are man made that go from the shore down about 7 or 8 feet of water. Im just looking for any input or to have some fun with it. Look forward to heard back. Damian

can someone pleassssseee explain to me something about the texas rigging.... i dont understand how a fish is suppose to bite onto the hook, when its set slightly into the worm for weedless.... i started to use plastic worms, rigging them texas, and i love it. but im scared to set the hook into the worm for weedless cus I conviced myself i would catch more with the hook already pointing out.. the odd time im still missing fish, but i couldnt imagin setting the hook to be weedless. can someone that knows what im talking about maybe explain the pros and cons, and what to look for when setting the hook for weedless. is it even worth it? is the fishes bite down really hard enough to release the hook, in order to hook it? thanks a tonssss... ill take any information i can get damian-
