It's rare for me to differ with a guy of Bill's ability, but gonna do so here on the caution against muddy water. Caught a couple of our best LM on Sunday right against the bank in 55-degree dirty water. Not chocolate milk, but visibility no more than 15 inches. One on a spinnerbait, the other on a jig.

Two things scare me there.  Against the Bank and Muddy Water  My guys Friday promised me they would not tell anyone we fished a stretch of bank.  On another note, fish live in the water muddy or otherwise.  We can all remember Steve McBasser hanging it on them in Big Creek during their Yickie event.

Good Luck

Yup, my usual "client" is not a danger to get near a bank. It's not every day that Mr. Bill gets someone he can get near the bank.

Or a boat dock with a weather vane on top. Hey Bill, is that once-brand new War Eagle still up there clanging in the wind? LOL

Looks like the keitech was the "Don Brown Deal".

Hahahahaha i just noticed thats him! I pass "the entrance to the hill" every day on my way to work.  That is a freaking giant for a spotted bass.  I wonder how long it was?  I caught a 21" spot once on a chrome spoon, that one looks bigger. 

Swing impact is my favorite lure i think. Those things are just amazing.  Texas rigged weightless..that tail just goes crazy falling at sloooowww speeds, can also buzz it right under the surface nicely.  2.8-3.3 inch SI fat on a no collar ned rig head..will catch anything that swims.  The 2-2.5 inch swing impacts and easy shiners on a 1/64th oz jig head is the best crappie lure ive ever used...by far.   I just wish they made the easy shiner in a fat version.  If they had a 5.8inch easy shiner fat...id be one happy camper.

I could definitely see muddy water conditions where normally they rarely exist, moving the fish shallow where someone isn't used to finding them.  A few years ago a buddy and I came to big cedar for a few days and when we arrived our hearts sank when we saw how dirty the water was. Turned out to be out best TR trip ever and I caught my then personal best 7.5 in my profile pic.
