Welcome! 👋 If you're "on the river" and catching browns then you are below Prosperine. And above Leadmine, right? Are you the new Blue Spring owner? MOstreamer 1

Members Moonlighter Posted June 23, 2019 Members Posted June 23, 2019 Fishinwrench, you are pretty sharp! Not the Blue Spring owner, down a bit! I use the Rebel Deep Diver a lot, and Bitsy tubes for goggle eye.

TroutRinger Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Strike King Bitsy Tubes...is that what you’re using? I’ve caught 80% of my smallmouth on those. I shove 1/8 oz crappie jigs up the them for the hook. Various topwater baits are effective. I have had good success recently on the whopper plopper 90 and torpedos. Walk the dog lures are popular too. I pretty pretty much have those two tied on at all times. I usually have three rods. The third rod has a HD craw, Bomber Model A real craw, jig and pig, or Ned rig. A lot of people only fish the really obvious spots on a river. You know, the ones that look like they just hold fish. Don’t overlook other areas. -Push water: the area above a rapid where the water kind of pushes/rises before going over the rocks. -Shallow areas with current that are off the main channel: a lot of people I fish with will be casting into the deep area in the current. There are definitely fish there. If I see current moving on the other/shallow side, especially if there is a lot of low hanging limbs from the bank, I cast there and almost always catch more fish.
