I'm Floating and fishing the current river and jack fork river tomorrow and would like some help on how to catch bass from these to rivers..They are farily thin rivers they have deep parts but also shollow pools and the rapids are not bad its a very easy float any help?? There are deffinantly Small mouth in it and Pumpkun seed are caught all the time.

I just finished a 7 day kayak/fish trip on the Current River. I was amazed at the size of the smallmouth just above the 106 bridge at Powder Mill. I was fishing my usual black and silver shad on a 1/8 oz jig but the locals were throwing big lures at them. I saw many guys throwing chartreuse spinner baits. Not sure if they were the ones catching or not. I've never heard good reports about Jacks Fork. Once you get below Big Creek, the Current has plenty of deadfalls along the edges and these were being fished heavily. What kind of boat will you be in and where will you start?

We are going Canoeing on both rivers.

MoFishing; how was the trip? I know those rivers can get pretty crowded on the weekends. Hopefully you had good weather and good fishing.

The Rivers were a little crowded but the Weather was Amazing and i caught 3 Smallmouth Bass over 12 Inchs
