When it comes to lures for river bass, soft plastic crawfish are king. 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. You have a better chance of landing a bite if your lure is kept in front of the bass for as long as possible. Here are some other lures you might use to catch more fish.
Float wins over everything
St. John's River: Float is the best option for river bass fishing. The river has current seams which form in areas where there is cover, island habitats, river switches, and river switch. Often, the current seams offer plenty of cover for the bass to wait for their prey. Many times, this means catching threadfin shad. The process of shad-fishing has been challenging for years, but new technology makes it much easier.
Blue Fox spinnerbait
Blue Fox spinnerbaits have become a popular choice for river fishing. They are made up of high quality components, including VMC hooks. These hooks produce consistent and reproducible results. Blue Fox spoons are the most popular spinnerbaits. It is often copied, but never duplicated. This bait is known to produce a bucktail bite. Its compact size makes casting it simple.
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 great place to fish is also provided by branches and logs. Plastic frogs can be used to imitate live baitfish. Bass will take to a buzzbait because it provides a bigger target. This lure is also suitable for fall fishing, as the baitfish will still be active.
Crankbait
A square-bill baitbait is great for shallow waters where there is little cover or 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 notice the unusual motion and become hooked. 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. While aquatic plants have many benefits, some may not believe they are necessary.
Falling water levels
Falling water levels for river bass fishing aren't something you necessarily expect to have much of an impact on the way the fish position themselves. The behavior of bass can be affected by changes in the water level, especially for those who live in shallower water. As there are many factors at play, fall bass movements are complex. The following facts are helpful in understanding fall bass movement. First, keep in mind that fall bass are generally less aggressive than spring.
Useful lures
The type of river bass you are after will determine the bait you choose. The size of your lure has a lot to do with the type of bait you're using. Smaller spinnerbaits, with a little grub on the one arm and a small spinning on the other, tend to catch more fish. They also have fewer hangups. These baits are easy to unhook and make excellent choices for tidal rivers.
