Went under the 240 hwy bridge near richland this morning (7-10AM) and caught two large smallmouth. Just have been throwing a Blue Fox #3 silver/silver and doing pretty good. Im just struggling with catching them in high volumes. I fished this exact spot every day at the same time for the past week but I'm only catching a fish or two a day. I can't help that think I'm just getting lucky or maybe landing them while waiting for food or crawfish to float on down the river.
River is 50'-75' wide steady flowing, some vegatation, mostly rocky with rocky shores, deepest I've waded into was to 5',9" Water temp today was 59 degrees.
Does anyone have any insight on this river? or possibly how or why I'm only catching one or two a day. Ive tried watermelon, black, red, and orange crawfish, floating rapalas, crankbaits, jerkbaits, tubes, senkos, spinnerbaits (3")
I have been fishing everyday like this in numerous spots in my area on the river, and this is the only place im catching fish. I've been reading books on habits of bass, bass fishing on rivers, and tackle for the rivers and am coming up short. Am I missing something?
