Report Details
I aplogize for this not being so much of a report but more so a "How to" post but I live close to the Sanger boat ramp and I have talked to serval guys who say they are catching some fish but is for the most part slow recently.  Anyway, I am looking for advice on how to fish the river, I have been out several times and only caught a white bass.  I have always fished Audubon or Sak. and I am very green when it comes to river fishing.   Beings I live right on the river I would like to have an idea of what I am doing, I just don't know where to start., I realize trial and error is probably the best bet but any advice is greatly  appreciapted.  Thanks in advance.

Yes, it has slowed in that area recently. 

I've been fishing south of there a ways and doing OK with crankbaits.  No surefire winner yet this year, countdowns and #5 shadraps have both produced fish for me, but not necessarily on the same outing. 

Colors that have worked for me include, chartreuse and silver, blue and silver, firetiger, and a spotted one that looks like a young trout.

Try running these in about 5-8 ft of water, stay out of the fastest current and in slower moving water.
