River Fishing Tips?

Featured Replies

One thing that I learned that always suprised me and I didnt believe it till I saw it was that if the conditions get muddy that bass will stick their noses right into the bank. To the point that I had to cast up onto shore and just bring it over the edge into the water real slow and they would hit it. The lower and slower the current gets the more the bass pull back from the banks and hang on objects out towards the middle.

I completely forgot to tell y'all how my trip went sorry guys,

The bass fishing was ehhh, out of 2 days of fishing I caught one Suwannee bass, one smallmouth, and three largemouth. Those are my first suwannee and smallmouth bass so that's something! No big bass the smallmouth was just about a pound and a half same with the Suwannee bass and the biggest largemouth was 3lb.

We catfished one day and couldn't stop catching them, we would catch 10 dinks for every big cat but boy was it fun. Couldn't have caught the bass without your tips so thanks again guys!

Next time you go Texas RIg anything watermelon seed red flake, redbug, or if the water is real muddy go with junebug. I prefer zoom trick worms, usually peg a 1/8 oz sinker 6" above the worm. I've been doing the same thing for 13 years still works great for me and people i fish with.

A natural texas rigged senko fished weightless, tossed right where the water stands up, let it drift until a hit, or after it stops drifting on the current, do over.....

Awhile after I posted this I figured out I didn't catch a smallmouth on that trip, what I thought was a smallie was just another Suwannee bass.
