Thought Id reply to this as I have been fishing the thames my whole life. If I were you Id set my eyes on some jigs and grubs, nothing has beat them in the thames. Stick with brighter colors as the water turns quite frequant this time of year. Trick to this is to stick with smaller jigs to retrieve slow and be able to pop the jig. I always run 1/8 oz jigs. Right now the silver bass are in there run and in another two or so weeks the waters will be flooded with walleye. I have fished from St. Marys all the way to Chattam and can tell you theres not one spot to focus on. What you do wanna keep a eye on is rushes of water with drop offs. With the water so low this year the fish cant make it over most of these and there you will find what your looking for. Good luck and if you have anymore questions, send them my way. Cheers.
