Cover water with a squarebill until you find fish. And then work the area with a Ned rig. The smallies where in areas with current.

Took the jon boat out for some river fishing and was using squarebills and football jigs. Squarebill didn't get the job done so I slowed down and fished a football jig around a fallen log that had a grass mat that floated next to it. Kept the outing short so I only had one quality bite and a few smaller fish.

Found the bass on the current seams. Fish the jig with or perpendicular to the current maintaining contact with the bottom. Fish were anywhere from 6-14' of water.

Use your electronics to find areas with boulders. Then troll around looking for fish. Once a school is found spot lock or anchor and vertically jig with a minnow or a Dubuque rig. Hair jigs will also be effective.

The fall bite is in full swing. Current is the key. With changing discharge rates, areas that had current yesterday didn't have them today. Used mainly a Ned rig, but also caught fish on a tube. I also worked a crankbait without success.

Gravel or rock ledges with deep water nearby were holding fish. I used a Ned rig to locate the fish, and then worked the area with a Gobius. A painfully slow drag, feeling it bump off the rocks. The Gobius produced the bigger fish.

Was hoping for a crankbait bite because this time of year is a good time to do some cranking. Instead I spent that day painfully beating the bank with a ned rig. I would let it sink to the bottom and let it sit with no action for as long as possible, this technique mixed with a slow drag produced every fish I caught. Nothing to brag about but I’ve been slowly trying to learn the river and it was nice to actually locate a few fish. Better than a bad day at work they say.
