I went fishing this morning at 7am, I was very pleased that I was able to get up early after working till 11 last night! Lol. Anywho, I tried everything to catch anything and everything.....I got absolutely skunked. I was even more 
when I saw that these 2 little kids who were screaming and yelling and cussing were catching more than me! They were just AWFUL to those fish too, put them on stringers and throwing them around like they couldn't feel pain. I was even more pissed when I saw that the fish weren't even legal, they were only about 2lbs each.
Here's the point to my post, I want to know how to fish rivers! I can't seem to use anything effectively. I used Spinners, Worms, my 6 dollar rapala lure that is AWESOME, I used chatterbaits, jigs...All my old tricks, and nothing worked. Just I just get unlucky or should I be using a differnt setup when I'm retrieving against the current?
