5" senko, 1/2oz jig with trailer, t-rigged creature bait -  catching a lot of nice fish between 2.5 and 3.5 lbs.

I've only fished the river so far this year. It's been high, fast and a little dirty. The fishing has been tough but I caught a few really nice small mouth...for here. Everything has come on a jig or a t-rigged tube. The jig that's done the best is an old archy head with just the right combination of black and blue with a little z-man paddle-tail for a trailer. It's a silver/black with blue flake kind of color. That archy head jig with the z-man plastic stands up perfectly every time. Sometimes I swim it and sometimes I put it on the bottom.

 

When I get convinced that the fish want it on the bottom, I switch to the t-rig tube because it's easier to keep down.

 

My wife and I have thrown other things but it didn't do us any good though I'm sure there are lots of things that would catch fish if you stuck with it.

Shallow crank bait (less than 1 foot running depth), chatter bait (bluegill), and a kietech swimbait.

 

I have not tried topwater yet but I intend to soon. Also, I have given several slower finesse plastic presentations a fair amount of time and I cannot get a bite on any of them. All my fish have been on a moving lure so far this season.
