Jig Fishing Murky/stained Water.

[Jucas97]

Hey folks, so i have a pretty nice new honeyhole i found, its murky/muddy water, with lots of flooded bushes, so a jig seemed like a smart thing to throw, Can someone give me any tips to fishing jigs in about 3-5 foot water in heavy cover? I consider myself a jig expert cause its what i learned to fish on, but i always did them in grass, is it the same as in flooded bushes/timber? Maybe a change in trailers or color? Im currently throwing a 3/8th oz Black and blue Hack attack jig with a zoom super chunk trailer in black and blue. 

Thanks yall and Tight lines!

Jig fishing shallow brush is a more vertical presentation where pitching the jig to specific targets is effective.

I would have a hard time fishing just 3' to 5' of water this time of year knowing there should be bass deeper.

Your jig is a good choice for brush, good luck.

If your looking for more vibration or ways for the bass to find your jig look into rattles and or trailers with more action like a rage craw

But fishing a normal jig will still catch you fish in a murky body of water

there are always bass shallow, and always bass deep.

 

IMO, catch em where you can find them.....

I finally got one after waking up early this morning. Of course after the top water bite wore off,I decided to switch from my faithful Pop-R back to the jig. Not a trophy fish but its the first fish I've had to nail out of some cover so it felt pretty good.  Thanks for the tips yall!

Here he is lol

What the best way to use a grass jig? I'm having some trouble figuring out that best way to present a grass jig in relatively clear water.

Visit www.sibertoutdoors.com and customize yourself a grass jig, depending on how clear the water clarity your fishing will be your personal preference on the colors you design your jig with. When fishing grass of any kind, look for anything different, like a hole, a cut etc... try getting a silent entry with your jig and when it hits the bottom let it rest about 10 seconds, shake it a bit, if you haven't got a strike drag it slowly and mix up combinations until you figure out what the pattern of the day is. If your having problems getting caught up in grass, give a little pop or shake to free the jig of any grass. Dont jerk back so hard its like your setting the hook, thats a wasted cast, thats why a light tug, jerk or pull should free it of grass.

I just asked Mike of Siebert Outdoors to make me up some chartreuse colored jigs. They look great. I'm thinking the brighter jigs for the darker water conditions.

Mike, Sibert outdoors is the real flipping deal. Being a broke young man on a budget all the time i really appreciate being able to get two jigs for the price of one strike king jig, and i can customize them just the way i want!

I would second the rattle, and a better trailer. That chunk has almost no secondary action imo and creating a bigger sound profile in muddy waters is better. The D&M Flipping craw style carries adds the legs and antenna which add more noise and bulk to slow the fall and give the bass more time to target it. For more active days, something with curved antenna like GrandeBass claws give additional secondary flutter during the fall, or your pop-up.

I designed this jig for the exact conditions you have in mind.  My main fishing hole is a river oxbow, that has at best 6-8'' clarity and most would call it chocolate milk.  Pair this with a blue sapphire or junebug trailer( I like the Rage Craws/lobsters) and you are good to go.

Nice catch man!!! I know exactly what you mean about chocolate milk haha it amazed me how quickly a white fluke vanished when i was trying to see the water clarity. I will give it a shot, i get payed this Friday so I'm gonna spend a bit of money on fishing this week. I'm gonna try it on a craw made by my friend Conrad who custom makes soft plastics, he makes a killer craw.
