SC53 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Looking for ways to fish rivers, specifically smaller ones like the St. John’s size in Florida. Constant flow, lots of river bends, no oxbows or creeks, like the big ones most states have,to speak of. Cover/ structure consists of docks ( but most are pretty shallow) pads ( some have decent water depth 2-3’ others about a foot) and lay downs. River gets a TON of boat traffic on the weekends but I go during the week and early. I was thinking frogs and flipping in the deeper pads. Maybe crankbait or flip the laydowns. Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted May 23, 2019 Global Moderator Posted May 23, 2019 My cousins boyfriend does well in that river with flukes frogs and a spinnerbait. Also never fish anywhere in FLA without trick worms 3 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted May 23, 2019 Super User Posted May 23, 2019 Docks , pads and laydowns . Lure choices should be whatever will navigate these snaggy areas effectively . Options that come to mind are anything Texas rigged , spinnerbaits , weightless plastics , frogs ,buzzbaits etc. 2 Quote
