    Re: Best Muddy Water Baits

    Proven bait for me in Spring when fishing for Largemouth in high muddy water is to go to the backs of creeks and find the cleanest water possible in the bushes or grass and toss a black and blue chatterbait or spinnerbait.

    Tossed buzzbaits up tight to the cover as well.
    Has worked in the past and the last time it did we placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd and had big bass. Only boat to catch any 15" keepers that day.

    Second the spinnerbait. I like a red or black spinnerbait, lightest I can get away with, with big Colorado blades for maximum vibration, dipped in some sort of attractant.

    Me to boys I've always loved my spinnerbugs in that dirty water. Big Hammered Colorado blades. Slightly muddy to fairly stained, Chartruese. Very muddy go with blacks, reds and dark colors. Also like painted blades in real muddy water to.

    Also the black and blue jig crawled slowly with a rattle...

    Re: Best Muddy Water Baits

    So far I have a chartreuse double willow leaf spinnerbait, black jig, with black/blue trailer and rattle, black metal flake rattle trap, black buzz bait, black/blue brush hog, and a black/yellow shallow running crankbait tied on. I plan on giving the jig and the spinnerbait most of the time tommorrow. Worse thing that can happen is we dont catch anything. I have done that several times when the water was perfect.

    Re: Best Muddy Water Baits

    My new muddy water baits are strike king 1.5 in sexy Shad and a green pumpkin shakey worm. The colors go against everything that I have ever heard but I won a tournament with 17 pounds a couple weeks ago using these in muddy water.

    Re: Best Muddy Water Baits

    lots of different lures.....sounds like anything that makes good noise or moves some water. seems like black and blue in really muddy water works for me if i'm flippin. never had much luck with anything crankin.
