Soft plastic Crawfish are the best lures to use for river bass fishing. Texas-rigged baits such as worms with jigs are effective in slamming the current. The light weight of these lures can be kept right in front the fish's nose. Your chances of landing a bite are higher if you keep your lure close to the nose of the bass. Here are some other lures you might use to catch more fish.
Float rules over all
In the St. John's River, float trumps everything when it comes to river bass fishing. River current seams are formed in areas that have cover, islands habitats, or river switches. Many times, the current seams provide plenty of cover for bass to wait on their prey. This often means that you can catch threadfin shad. Even though shadfishing was always difficult, the new technology makes it easy.
Blue Fox spinnerbait
Blue Fox spinnerbaits have become a popular choice for river fishing. They are made of premium components, including super sharp VMC hooks, to produce consistent and reproducible results. Blue Fox spoons are the most popular spinnerbaits. It is often copied, but never duplicated. This bait is well known for generating a bucktail bite, and its compact size makes it easy to cast all day.
Buzzbait
Near timber and vegetation are good places to find river bass. A log or branch that is dying of grass will be a good place to look. A good spot to fish will be a branch or log. To imitate a live baitfish, a plastic frog could be used. A buzzbait is more attractive to bass because it offers a larger target. This lure can also be used in fall when baitfish are more active.
Crankbait
A square-bill crankbait works well in shallow waters with minimal cover and structure. The unusual movement of this bait can trigger a bite. Bass will also react to the unusual sound when a crankbait crashes into something under water. The bass will love the unusual sound and be hooked by the unpredictable motion. The lure might suddenly stop moving so the fish may attempt to take the bait.
Aquatic plants
To avoid eutrophication or water pollution, it is important to reduce the amount of vegetation in your water bodies. However, too much vegetation can cause damage to your fish habitat. In addition to blocking the flow of water, aquatic plants can also clog power plants and water plant intakes, reduce dissolved oxygen levels, and reduce the amount of fish in your lake. Many people question the importance of aquatic plants.
Falling water levels
It is unlikely that river bass fishermen will notice a change in water level. But these changes in water level affect the behavior of bass, too, especially those in shallow water. Many factors play a role in fall bass movements. Below are some facts to help you better understand fall bass movement. Remember that fall bass are less aggressive than spring bass.
Useful lures
Choosing which baits to use for river bass fishing depends on the type of fish you're after. The size of your lure will determine the type of bait that you choose. Smaller spinnerbaits that have a grub on one side and a smaller spinner on the opposite end catch more fish and are less likely to cause hang-ups. They are also easier to unhook making them an excellent choice in tidal waters.
