Any edges in current at the mouth of the river should hold fish, but this would apply up and down the river. By an edge, I mean things that will create eddies, reverse current, slow current next to faster, rips at narrows, etc. This might be as simple as the main channel dropoff, points at bends in the river, one of my favorites (especially if they hold herring runs) are where feeder creeks or smaller rivers enter the main river, mid river islands both up and downstream, wing dams or jetties, rock ledges, rock piles, individual rocks, holes in the river are also good spots but take close attention to electronics and some time to find.
If concentrating outside the river, I would look for ledge, both exposed with good water depth around it or sunken ledges. Rock is my favorite, big ledges in particular and what I like to look for is what I've foundly called toilet bowls. These are most evident when you have some big rollers coming in, but if you watch closely you will see them. These are specific spots on ledges that massive amounts of water will funnel into or push up on because of the shape of the rock at that spot and when it empties, it's like a big toilet bowl flushing. If the water around the ledge is blue-green, and you can see clearly down 15 feet in most spots, at these spots it will be white with frooth due to the turbulence and airation going on and you can see Jack-SH*t. Throw a 7 inch plastic jerkbait up on those spots and let them go with the flow when it flushes, braid is a huge plus here and I bet you hit some fish.
