Current River Fishing

[porky river]

Hello, I plan on doing a two day trip on the current October 4 and 5th. Just was wondering where the small mouth fishing starts getting real good. I floated from cedar grove to Atkins ferry about a month or so ago only caught three small mouth-all them no bigger than 8 inches and I fished about everything. It all looked like real good fishing waters. I was also wondering how far can the jet boats make it up the river.I am wanting to do around 18 miles. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Round Spring down to Arkansas is best for bass. Your last trip was on trout water.

I c thanks. I might decide to do a different river if there be alot of boat traffic I am just taking my jackson coosa. Dont really feel like fighting with boat all weekend.

Don't let the boats keep you away. Yes you will see some. This time of year most of them will be out there to fish as well. Most of the local boaters are still courteous and give plenty of room to others fishing. As for the boaters going gigging that after dark so they probably wont affect you anyhow. Just my two cents

Thanks man does the river start getting pretty wide pass round spring?

Not a whole lot wider than it is above Round Spring. The river doesn't start getting pretty wide until the Jacks Fork comes in at Two Rivers.
