With all of the rain, the river has risen roughly 3.5 feet in the last 10 days so fishing has gotten tough. Water is out in the swamp flats and running fast. Try to get as far back into the edges of the flats as possible. Cast into the grass and any eddy water you can find for the best opportunity. Bites are hard to come by but some good fish are still there to be caught. If the rains will calm down a bit, the river should level off and bring the bite back.

Minnows
Fish were targeting minnow pods around groups of lily pads and matted grass. Throwing a prop bait and ripping parallel worked really well. Also, throwing a small frog in the matted grass pulled the occasional bite. Whopper ploppers also catch a few around shade lines.

Target lay downs with topwater baits like prop baits and floating worms. In the mornings, the fish will be in the main river roaming so let floating worms get deeper. Later in the day when the sun gets up, focus more on the shade lines and thicker cover.
