How to fish muddy/weedy lakes?

Bass are going to prefer hard bottom during the spawn. I would target some of the vegetation that needs a harder bottom or see where they end up setting up to spawn. Attack that smaller area during the spring/spawn then move to swim jigs, reaction baits ect. (what everyone else mentioned) around the weeds when they move off. Attack the pockets between the weeds if there are any.

haven't been able to find a spawning bass yet in this lake. Wait, I know of one, spawned in the back flat next to a stump, the only cover in the lake

A slow retrieved Toadrunner might do well for you. It's a go to bait for me in those type of situations.
