river fishing need help

Featured Replies

I been fishing this river resevoir its about 100 yards wide and about three miles long not too many points and weed cover in shallow areas 10 foot off the bank averages 6 foot deep shallow areas around 2-3

tried cranks ,spinnerbaits, tubes,buzzbaits,worms butwith those the warmouth wont leave them alone

other people are catching them but on what I dont have a clue Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried any soft plastic jerkbaits? The Zoom Super Fluke is one of the better baits on the market and it doesn't appeal to the sunfish near as much as the bass.

Any wood along the shoreline?

If so, try your baits in the wood.

Try them all before moving from one spot to another and start out from the bank and work towards the bank slowly with your baits finishing with a 4 or 5 inch Senko wacky worm rig.

Have you tried a Carolina rig?  Give it a shot.

What about a shakey head setup?

Can you locate any humps or hole with your sonar?  They can hang around these areas out from the shore.

I hope these help plus the ones the guys will give you.

Good luck.

any idea what the bait fish are?

what are the water conditions?

current?

stained?

mucky?

by river resevior do you mean a turn out in the river? is the river still there flowing? or is it a damned up area?
