With that limited budget I would get some jigs, shakey heads, and some worms that you can texas rig. Those catch fish year round.

River/Creek fishing = Pink Rooster Tail

Lake = Black/Blue Jig

Save your money and buy live bait. :grin:

 

[monsterbuck07]

Well I use the rooster tails like crazy in the creeks I wade and catch the heck out of em; just didn't know if they would work in the river. If I don't have a depth finder are there any suggestions on ways you would fish. I have pond/creek fished all my life but am getting into river fishing now so needing some pointers!

Cricket and a bream hook

3/16 shaky head with a green pumpkin or watermelon trick worm. Pinch about an inch of trick worm off, pitch it around docks, tree laydowns, stumps or any kind of structure. Gradually move it a little bit & watch your line. When your line starts movin, set the hook.

How do you "correctly" fish a jig? And thanks to all the replies!

Rapala near rocky bluffs near the bank. Smallmouth love them on the Duck River.

green pumpkin lizard or craw or sometimes curl tail grub. right now I have a pumpkin grub on a chart jig head on a single blade spinner and have caught some fish with it, including a catfish.

I really like bait fishing so my lure arsenal is limited. I like a small white buzzbait late in the afternoon during the summer every now and then.
