Bass fishing river channels wandering through your local reservoir can be the secret to a successful outing. Reservoirs are often full of shoreline vegetation, incoming creeks and even timber but the channel itself is often neglected. Let's look at some tips to be much more successful in locating channel hot spots.
1- Find the shallowest water adjacent to the drop to the river channel. This shallow hump or flat are like bass magnets especially if there is underwater structure like stumps or vegetation.
2- Work the upwind drop to the river channel. The bass often are waiting to ambush shad as they are blown from the hump/flat to the river channel.
3- Try a Carolina rig or deep diving crankbait in shad color to work the shallow to deep drop.
4- Look for shad on your depth finder anywhere adjacent to the river channel. This is an important factor in locating feeding bass.
5- If you catch a fish, immediately throw out a marker. Fish often tightly school along river channels.
