What Would You Throw #1: shallow, weedy, and stained

[kychris]

I thought I'd start a recurring thread on different conditions and what everyone would pick to throw for largemouth bass in a certain situation. Feel free to start #2 or I'll add another in about a week.

Here's the conditions: Early spring on a stained water lake. Water temperature is 50 degrees. Air temperature is 60 and cloudy after a recent warmup. The cove you are fishing is 6 feet deep and slopes up to the banks. Bottom is clay and covered in dead weeds.

What would you throw?

KVD square bill 1.5 chartreuse craw

Agree a square bill, chatterbait or a Shad Rap would be my 3 lures of choice

Depending on the type of lake........I might throw a red eye shad........looking for a GIANT. Now, I wouldn't rip the bait by no means, slow rolling, and hang on.

Second would be Jig.....you can never go wrong with a jig.

3rd, would be a spinner bait.

[restornator]

chicken liver.

chicken liver.

LOL....for bass?

[Firefighter215]

Ive caught several bass on chicken liver at night fishing for a big cat. But that would not be my choice of bait. lol

[mhall]

Half ounce jig and second spinner bait with hammered Colorado blades. Colors would be picked by just how stained the water is.....

[sweetwater]

Three or four large and alive nightcrawlers together on a 4/0 hook with no weight. Quietly pitch or dip them into every piece of cover available and hold on.

Live bait is cheating!

Live bait is cheating!

Maybe a little but if you catch and release there's no harm done.
