Soft plastic crawfish is the best choice for lures for riverbass. Texas-rigged lures for river bass will work well. A lightweight jig with a worm and Texas-rigged hook will effectively slam your current. The better your chances of landing a bit, the longer your lure can be kept in front the bass's nose. Here are some other lures you might use to catch more fish.
Float trumps everything
In the St. John's River, float trumps everything when it comes to river bass fishing. The river has current seams which form in areas where there is cover, island habitats, river switches, and river switch. Many times, the current seams provide plenty of cover for bass to wait on their prey. Many times, this means catching threadfin shad. While shad fishing is a difficult task, technology makes it possible.
Blue Fox spinnerbait
Blue Fox spinnerbaits, which are also very popular for fishing in rivers, are among the most sought-after baits. They are made up of high quality components, including VMC hooks. These hooks produce consistent and reproducible results. Blue Fox spoon is the standard spinnerbait. It has been copied but not 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. You should look for a dead log or grassy bank. You will find a great place to fish by looking for branches and logs. Plastic frogs can be used to imitate live baitfish. Because the baitfish is larger, bass will be attracted to it. This lure can also be used in fall when baitfish are more 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 can also be attracted by the unusual sound of a crankbait smashing into something underwater. Bass will be attracted to the erratic motion and stay hooked. The fish may even try to take the bait without biting if the lure suddenly stops moving.
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. Water plants can block water flow, reduce dissolved oxygen, and reduce fish numbers in your lake. Regardless of the benefits of aquatic plants, some people may question the need for such plants.
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. However, changes in water level can also affect bass behavior, especially in shallower waters. As there are many factors at play, fall bass movements are complex. Below are some facts to help you better understand fall bass movement. First, keep in mind that fall bass are generally less aggressive than spring.
Use of 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. They're also easy to unhook, which makes them an excellent choice for tidal streams.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
Here are some tips to help you cast a rod confidently.
To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
Third, you might consider buying a smaller reel as an alternative to a larger one. A cheap spinning reel can be used to cast longer distances, and it will also help you with your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice your casting technique until you feel comfortable with the motion. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience will be your key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
