Ok, so I have some fish located off of main lake points in my midwest resevoir. The fish seem to be off of the bank a ways, and suspended in 4-6 ft of water over 8,10, even 14 feet of water. I know this seems like a pretty classic jerkbait bite, but the water in this lake is fairly stained, maybe 1 ft visibility at best. Water temps are running 43-45 degrees mid morning.
What are your suggestions on how to catch these fish? My issue with the jerkbait is fish don't really come to it from a distance, as they can't see it well. So your really fishing a pretty slow technique only hoping to run close to a fish. But is there really a better option? Not sure if spinnerbaits or shallow cranks are too much for this time of year, and my standby classics like the jig and carolina rig are all fishing under them. Or should I maybe keep with the jerkbait and try a bright color or?
Any help please!?!?
