[QUOTE="Fester, post: 369414, member: 6300"] The best advice on here is going slow and working upstream. If you are going slow and watching your depth finder it will allow you to stop and back off if you see the depth getting shallower. Then try another approach by looking at the water and seeing where the flow is. You may need to move over 20 ft or 200ft it just depends on the water. Try to learn the currents and watch how the water flows around things in the water. Jumping behind somebody will get you from place to place but in my opinion isn’t a good way to actually learn the river. A lot of catching fish in the river also has to do with currents and current breaks so I personally would try to learn vs following someone but to each their own on how they learn as well. Jumping behind somebody you may understand why they went that route????…maybe? A lot of guys…not all but a lot of them in the spring that are flying up and down the river have learned how to read the river and plotted it out on their graphs. Personally I would rather know how to get around without the help of others….cause some just fly around and hope for the best…I don’t want to follow that guy. There are rock piles about half mile south of fox island depending on the depth of water..it is closer to shore. Also up north depending how deep the water is and closer to shore there is a good amount of rocks by a house with a big Z on the front of it. Other than that like someone already posted be careful for the jetties that shoot out. Dead heads usually you can see by a break in the surface water. To add Ramps around Bis: Meriwethers is for the most part out of the current and so is Misty ramp. Fox island is also not to bad. I would start with no current and work your way up. Some ramps in the bays can be used if you pay to use them. I would just stick to the first two and then after you get the hang of it try fox island. [/QUOTE]
