Question:

I’m going smallmouth Bass fishing this weekend on a clear river which I’ve never fished before. I’m looking for advice on which lures will work for me.

The forecast says a slight chance it will rain this weekend and it will be overcast.

I’m looking on advice on which lures will work for me during this weekend.

Answers:

I would try 3 baits , A crawfish colored crankbait, get the right running depth for where your fishing.

Spinnerbaits are an excellent lure fished with the water flow, NOT AGAINST IT! I see so many anglers throw a spinnerbait as if they were on a lake, they seem to forget that smaller fish cannot fight a tide or current and will “go with the flow”.

Crankbaits, both lipped and lipless are excellent choices for moving water. The jig and pork combination will also work well when cast onto the shoreline and slowly pulled into the moving water, the illusion of a crawfish being “swept away” by current is often too much for a bass to resist.
