What's Your Favorite Lure In Muddy Water

[Sutton]

This one is for the hard core fishermen who fish the days when only chicken liver will get a bite

[Felix77]

Chatterbait or spinnerbaits with Colorado blades

[Silas]

Chartreuse and white spinnerbait with gold blades.

[Jay Ell Gee]

Agreed on chatterbaits and spinnerbaits. You want to move a LOT of water.

Crankbaits and lipless cranks with rattles are also good. Big bulky jigs with noisy trailers, aka rage claws.

Fish will hold tight to structure in muddy water. Hit them on the head with a mop jig. Either they eat it or you knock it out and grab it when it floats up.

Win/win.

Me too

[TrapperJ]

Fighting muddy waters in my farm pond, but found a couple and missed a couple with a June bug colored ugly otter on a flipping hook with a bullet weight.

[SDoolittle]

Rat-L-Trap or Colorado blade spinnerbait.

[PondHunter]

The Rat-L Trap worked well for me in those conditions.

[Snakehead Whisperer]

Too many variables, but usually something black or chartreuse. This past weekend I had success with a black 4" saltwater gulp swimming mullet on a black slider head. Water visibility was about 3-6".

[Shoop05]

Warm Water- Chartreuse/Orange/or Black Spinnerbait with matching painted dual Colorado blades.

 

Cold Water- Black Jig w/ black plastic craw trailer plus rattle

[Crestliner2008]

Early in the season I enjoy fishing a large, mature river system. And the water gets pretty stained-to-muddy in the spring. A large hollow body, paddle tail swimbait on a weighted swimbait hook has worked great for me. I just slow roll it along the bottom. You might want to give it a try.

Black n' Blue mop jig with a Sapphire Blue Rage Lobster.

Fish arent gonna eat something they cant see. Stick with the whites or white/char for spinnerbaits and crankbaits. Dark colors (june bug, black/blue) for plastics and jigs.

[CPBassFishing]

chartreuse chatterbait or squarebill, black and blue jig for flipping flooded brush.

[Blues19]

My favorite bait in muddy water is a chartreuse Luck E Strike Trickster. It has a crazy hard thump that I love.

[Bankbeater]

White spinnerbait with white tandem blades.

[river-rat]

When faced with muddy water I rely on two baits 

 

1/2 jig with a black and yellow skirt and use a Biffle Craw in black/chartreuse claws for a trailer 

 

3/8 or 1/2 spinnerbait with #5 and #6 copper colorado blades and either a yellow/chartreuse/white or black and yellow skirt with an Uncle Josh Pork Frog for a trailer.

[PABASS]

Upping the size helps as well since it gives the bait a larger profile and easier for the bass to see.

[The Young Gun]

Hot mustard yellow colored Rapala Rippin' Rap

[5fishlimit]

Spinnerbait with the biggest Colorado blade you can get, chatterbaits (any color), and if the water is glass smooth a buzzbait.

[Traveler2586]

Chartreuse and white spinnerbait with gold blades.
