I'm fishing a local tournament on the susquehanna river this weekend. The problem is that I have little experience on the river. Does anyone have any tips regarding lure choice? I was thinking about trying jerkbaits but the river is high right now so it is pretty muddy. Anybody have any ideas?

Tubes always work well in the Susqy,  give them a shot

Thanks, I'll give em' a try.

I have fished the Upper Susky around Owego NY. It was also very high and muddy when I did so. Try to find back eddies or culverts where the fish can get out of that current. A big, black hula grub of 5" is a good bait now, as is a big black spinnerbait slow rolled. With the river in flood right now, it's going to be tough though. Watch out for shallow shoals and submerged trees or rocks that might be visible when the water is lower and clearer.

Maybe some bright jerkbaits and tubes would be my choice.
