What are they talking about when they say

      

     "Bass find some type of cover, i.e. tree limb, trash build up, tree stump on the inside curve or the twist of a creek bed to set up their home "

What is the inside curve? Dont be telling me a curve ball to a left handed batter either, hahhaha

Jim

The inside of the curve on a river has less current than the outside of the curve. Ever notice how a creek or river will be deeper on the outside of the curve than the inside? Thats because the faster current will remove sediment from the outside, and the slower current will actually allow sediment to settle on the inside.

So if there's no nearby current breaks, they'll likely be holding on the inside of a curve.

kinda like the inside and outside of the elbow?

Lets say that the creek has a large channel in it and the creek runs in the shape of  an elbow, and the depths are 4 feet on the inside of the elbow,then drops off to 20 feet for a few yards, then climbs back to 4 feet at the outside of the elbow; do you fish both the inside and outside of the channel where the water changes or just the inside?

Visualize this:

Say you're walking down the sidewalk on the right-hand side of the road.  If the road curves to the right, you'll be on the "inside curve".  If the road curves to the left, you'll be on the "outside curve".

Hope that helps!

SO the bass set on the inside curve rather than the outside curve so they can ambush the baits coming down the creek bed? is there generally not enough cover on the outside curve; i think i just answered that, the river washes away the cover on the outside, right?

Hope that helps!
