I've lost count how many fish I've caught on a storm arashi 3 doing this exact thing. Anything with chartreuse in it for dirty water

Chartreuse is your friend in dirty water.

Since shad don't change color in muddy water I stick with a shad pattern of some type. In my mind most fish and bait fish lighten up in color in dirty water. They don't get brighter.

Chartruse/black is a good choice. So is Tennesee Shad colored. I like a SK 1.5 sized for this. And I change out the rear hook to a size smaller. It helps the bait "nose down/tail up"'and pop the bill across rocks better. Less hang ups. And when you feel a hang up. The rear floats up quicker and frees the lure easier.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

I try to throw shad colored squarebills as much as possible. Never really been a fan of straight black and chartreuse. I like the Rick Clunn's and now they make some with rattles so I would throw these in the dirtier water:
