What's you favorite Pre-Spawn Tactic? I had lots of fun pulling deep water fish off of brush piles the past few days using shaky-head.

Jigs on creek channels. Or ripping a trap or chatterbait through grass.

use braded line and a heavy action rod, it will rip the grass off the hooks.

This may be a dumb question with an obvious answer.. But when 'ripping' a lipless out of grass, do you let the bait sink into the grass and then rip it out OR reel until you reel into some grass and then rip it?

try to "tick" grass and when it grabs, pop/rip it free

I just started using jerkbaits. I don't have much confidence that they will work in dirty water. How clear must the water be for them to become effective?

When I was young, I'd say "First, get her drunk......"

Now, though, I fish. I like fishing an 8" lizard along main creek bed dropoffs near timbered spawning flats.

They are a lot better in clearer water but I've had some good days in water with a little color to it. I used the fire tiger rogue. It was kind of translucent fire tiger where you could see through it.

Exactly.

Preference though? Jerkbait without a doubt.
