cheesemaster Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Water temp was 44.6 at 7:00am, water was brown with debris floating all over. Could only see about 6 inches. I threw a black rock crawler for a while and caught 3 with 2 keepers. Then I threw a white spinnerbait with a white tube. I caught 6 more with 2 being keepers. Big fish of the day was 3.15. Water was 45.6 when I left at 12:30. Carl W, QCKHD, Dock-in-it and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I threw it for a little while but the water was so cloudy that I don’t think they could see it. When I was by Virgin Bluff the water clarity was only about 3 or 4 inches.

Dutch Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I guess you got more moisture down there I don’t think we had enough for that kind of runoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most jerkbaits have rattles so the fish dont have to see it well to find it .My biggest small mouth was caught on a jerkbait in muddy water like you described. Have caught many many bass on jerkbaits in muddy water. Pearl white ,chartreuse shad when it's sunny, black and silver, clown with clouds. Transition banks ,there are many kinds of transition banks so experiment with types of rocks to find the most productive. In coves or main lake Secondary points are another location . 44-52° water. It's not a deep bite either and they will be closer to the bank in 10' or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was throwing a pearl white in the same areas I caught the other fish in - with out a nibble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try casting parallel to the bank too keeping the lure in 2-8' the whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
