Favorite muddy water bait

Well with all the recent rain and with more coming I thought it would be a good time to see what eveyone likes to use in muddy water. I have had a little success with a white/chartruse chatterbait, or flipping a junebug or black/red flake brush hog.

hmm. Tough question. For numbers probably a rattle trap. For larger fish a black spinner bait with a short arm and single large gold Colorado style blade slow rolling in the shallows and around the edges of weed lines, docks, and other structure. Crankbaits also have served me well in heavily stained water. I always have a texas rig on one rod for short hits or if I find a spot holding several fish. Or a jig. Heck, I told you that was a tough question! lol

Buzzbait slap the bank with it and roll it by any piece of cover you see

Post spawn high muddy water--as long as I don't see a bunch of carp and gar spawning shallow, I'll start with shallow cover
Lots of good options mentioned above. Chatterbait with a bulky trailer that moves a lot of water has to be up there as my favorite.

So if I see gar or carp then vacate the area?

Thanks for all the tips and lure choice and colors. I know im going to need all the help I can get and Im sure there are others that will also.

Never had success fishing shallow when they are doing their thing.

I never really thought about it much but I have to agree. When the gar and carp tearing up the shallows I usally dont catch many bass. And that only took me 40 years of bass fishing to figure that out! Hehe

Either chatterbait, buzzbait or spinner bait with Colorado blade. Larger profile bait with chartruse

Jig!

My Custom Muddy Water Spinner baits. I have one for sunny days and one for cloudy days.

Vibrating Jig (chatterbait) for me. Its my go to, and never lets me down.

Definitely this vibrating jig right here. I LOVe this bait! I've caught a lot of quality fish in muddy water, and the majority have come on this bait. The vibration and flash really help the fish key in on the bait when it's muddy. Also, these baits are truly custom made with quality components. Can't go wrong with one of these!

I've caught my pb 8.5 on a frog, in the middle of a bunch of carp, lol

I have Bill Wilcox state oh HH several times that it does not bother him either.

1 oz Spinnerbait one blade orange other chartrues, skirt fire tiger.

I have always done pretty well with the Berkley 7" power worms or the zoom baby brush hogs in black blue fleck, or another darker, natural color like green pumpkin
good luck guys!

I've caught some nice ones like this too. You never know.
