I am a bank fisherman and I am guilty of believing that the pond I fish at has nice clear water. When in reality, I might have 3 feet of visibility from the bank down into some large rocks. I recently found another pond even closer to my house that has at least 6 feet visibility. I do not have any polarized lenses yet, and I soon hope to change that.
I literally started jig fishing yesterday, and have yet to catch one. I went in the 6 foot visibility lake and used a nice brown and orange jig with natural craw trailer.
My question is, should I use lures more geared for murky water or clear water?
Also, how can I become a better judge on how clear/murky water truly is.
