But every summer my Dad and I fish a river in Oklahoma,mainly for catfish, but there are bass,drum,carp,buffalo and alot more in it. The river has a water fall upstream leading into a quick moving stretch that drops off into a deep pool (around 30 ft!) And my question was what techniques/lures should i use to catch some good ones in the deep spot??? My Dad caught a 5 lb LM on a spinner bait last year and that was the only bass...

jigging spoon

What river? Me and my dad used to Float little river between broken bow and idabel and tear the bass up on a old school top water torpedo

Deep fork near Luther! Little spot my Grandpa and his brother found back in the day:)

1/4 oz Rattletraps, small spinnerbaits, beetle spins, inline spinners such as mepps or panther martin. Throw them on a medium/light spinning rod and have a blast

There should be some bass in the eddys and on the edges of that current on the drop off. Agree with spoons along the drop off. Would also try a tail spinner like a wing ding/little george.

Thanks Guys! I'll be out there in the upcoming few weekends and have a report for ya!

Revenge Tail Spinner


Typically, little streams and rivers have smaller forage. Try one of these.
