Best place to cast out line?

Question

In a river what are the best places to cast out your line so it will be easier to fish?

Smallmouth Bass and Catfish.

Answer 1

It depends on the time of year. If the fish are spawning, pulling your bait through the nesting grounds is enough to hack the fish off into striking. The best place to look for nests is near the bank and on the slope of high spots on the bottom.

The other time to really catch fish is when they are schooling to eat bait fish. If you watch the birds they will tell you where the bait fish are.

Good Luck

Answer 2

for bass i would recommend finding structure anf flipping a jig into it. for catfish find small creek channels and use shrimp and or chicken liver. heres how to rig the shrimp use a 1/2 oz weight about 12"-20" above a size 4 hook and rig it in the middle or from where the head would be to the beginning of the tail.

Answer 3

Like everywhere there is fish, you have to find structure. Whether it's a huge leaning tree, sand pockets, or huge rocks, fish eat and hide in structure.
