I am compelled to give my 2 cents . . . my answer is the Rapala DT (shad pattern). Not because the bait will necessarily catch the fish. Just cause' I love crankbaits so much, especially the DTs.

1. I would probably start with the spinner from the point towards the shoreline... and then from the right side of the picture (appears the wind is pushing towards shore) I would cast outward. If nothing happened that way, switch over to the crankbait, again from both directions.... and if nothing still again, my trusty senko..... and if still nothing.. then the C-rig at the drop-off. If still nothing, move on. lol
2. Yuck, always hated river fishing. Currents mess with me. But I think in this instance I would start with the popper as close to the logs as I could get. Then ofcourse, if that doesn't elicit any action, switch to the senko.

#1: I would use the spinnerbait, the fish would be found suspended over the cover
#2: crankbait, twitched a lot So what are the correct answers? |

1st pic I would start near the rock with the senko , if nothing came off that then the crank , and I don't get to do much river fishing . Jim

Why haven't you got a jig tied on ?
I would use a lucky craft LV500 and then try a Lucky craft LVR D-15 and then a Megabass live X leviathon. If all else fails , use a sand minnow, bass love them. Ivan

Dang, I came too late to this party as I usually do.
I would have picked the senko for scenario one on the three sides of the boulder that faced toward the deeper water. Although I have only fished from a bass boat once, gut feeling says this is a solid first choice. Scenario 2, a spinnerbait. Gotta stop being a spinnerbait virgin some time soon.
