TONY SOPRANO... I doubt it.If youre fishing a river,I would fling a spinner around for a while,and see if you can catch a few jacks,and if you do then get a dead bait out as this should attract the bigger hen fish.When I fish a river I will keep moving and try to cover as much water as possible.You can float fish a deadbait near the far side of the river near any features or likely spots that might hold prey fish.But I think the best advise is keep ringing the changes,as far as plugs/spinners are concerned...floaters/sinkers/spinners etc. oh and keep trying.
