Question

Answer 1

Fancast and work you way upstream. Keep casting into the current. Try to target areas behind big boulders and stumps that can provide a place for fish to get out of the current and feed on passing baitfish. It's a good way to catch some nice size bass. I suggest you use heavy mono (17-25#) or braid (up to 65#) and a flat-sided crankbait like a Fat-Free Shad. A 6'6" or 7' Medium Heavy baitcaster should do nicely if the current is fast. Down size for slower moving water (10-12# line and medium action rod). Try not to horse the fish once you hook him because it's easy to pull hooks out with crankbaits, strong line and stiff rods. Take your time but hurry every chance you get. Know what I mean?
Hang on because you might catch a 8# or larger fish doing this .

Answer 2

for this size of water a 2" model is going to cactch a lot more fish.More and likely this size and type of water will have more of a crawfish food base,i wouldn"t waste my time throwing a crankbait i would get some bitsy tubes from strikeking rigem on a 1/8 oz jighead and slam the ---- out of e'm garenteed.I have fished small rivers for 25 years and i bet you could not even beat them with live bait, make sure you get black blue for dingie water and green pumpkin for clearer water.

Answer 3

it really depends on the time of year water condishions and the type of crank bait you are useing sometimes on the back of the package it will tell you how to use it
most of the time a jig will need a small jerk as your winding it
but like i said it all depends on what your useing

Answer 4

six feet of water you should be dredging the bottom. if so make pauses as you crank in the bait. especially if you hit something. this can trigger reaction strikes from a fish that might follow the lure but not hit it.

Answer 5

you have to play with it
