Lures
What lures should I use in muddy water?
I need answers now! I am leaving in 30 min to fish in a lake with muddy water due to 9 days of off and on rain. What would be some more successful lures to catch some bass?
When visibility is greatly reduced, choose big lures since they are easier for bass to see and catch. Bass seem reluctant to move far from a holding spot, so you want their first swipe at the lure to hook them. When the going gets muddy try: 1. Spinnerbaits – A large spinnerbait is highly visible and produces vibrations fish can sense with their lateral line. For maximum flash and vibration, use a 3/8 to 9/16 ounce black spinnerbait with a single Tennessee blade. If the current is slack, you may want to drop to a ¼ ounce model. You can also tip your spinnerbait with a trailer such as a big pork frog to add buoyancy so you can fish it slower. 2. Crankbaits – A big crankbait with a diving lip is deadly in muddy water, even in very shallow water. Use a slow retrieve to give the bass ample opportunity to find the lure. 3. Jigs – Use a big rubber-legged jig and large trailer to probe shallow cover. Black is a good primary color, but try a hot secondary color on the jig skirt or trailer, such as chartreuse or orange. In muddy water, you can approach bass closely, so try flippin a jig into cover in quiet pockets. 4. Plastic Lizards – Rig them Texas-style on a 3/16 ounce slip sinker. They work better than plastic worms because they have more bulk, therefore easier for bass to find. A lizard with a twister tail provides added vibration. Try black or black and chartreuse.
If spinnerbaits and crankbaits aren’t producing bass, slow your retrieve. If you still aren’t catching fish, change the lure style or size. Even lures of the same kind often produce different vibrations. A change in style and size changes the pattern of vibration, which can change the response of bass.
