Old man river can make you think.

So my buddy sends me a text the other day while he is out on the Sippi, its one of those days that had him scratching his head as to where the fish were and what not.
We all know any body of water can do that but the river can be a beast of its own kind ,sure, it can be predictable to a point but then it throws more curve balls than you can shake the proverbial stick at.
There you sit, getting flustered, more mad by the minute, staring intently at your fancy graph and this shows up.
Do you fish it going upstream?? fish it going downstream?? or sit there and jig it??

I would personally pass on this spot , I generally look for a nice channel near a couple humps , generally have more success in these areas

Take a breath, relax and enjoy the time on the water. Catching is nice but it’s not everything.

I wouldnt jig on it to long you could have a sudden change in water clarity.

Definitely rip jig it. But harder and faster than normal. Gotta do what you gotta do when you can’t get any bass..

If old man river would clear out some of the low snags itd look bigger

Looks like the water must be cold
