I also caught a few this year on Crankbaits, but I find the fish will strike more often when presented with a bigger more obnoxious lure, IMO. Spoons work too, but I've found that jerkbaits produced the best for me.

Nice! I should try this, I've got some larger kwickfish and jerkbaits in my pier box I can try. There isn't much more obnoxious than a big kwickfish .

I find that I get more follows than actual hits, and that once I get a fish from a pool I need to move on because they all spook. I'm new to this. I've only had three river outings where I've targeted them with lures, but each outing has been successful.
