Jigs in stained water
Alright so over the summer I have forced myself to learn to use jigs and I am now hooked... Hehe anyways. The lakes I fish tend to be clearish but also stained. I have had good luck on my main lake with a green swim jig with a kietech swim trailer. Although I have found myself striking out the last few times in muddy water. I haven't used football or flipping jigs much mostly swim jigs. What are some great jigs and colors for stained water about 3 or 4 ft visibility and especially in the colder months? Thanks in advance.

Fishing local pond filled with lily pads
Yes I'm sure I have caught bass there the first day I fished it. Only one. But I have seen recent pics of people pulling 8 to 10 ponders out of there just don't know what they are using. And the pond that I know up never freezes but I could be wrong.

I havent had an opportunity to head back out and fish this pond yet but reading everyone's responses it sure sounds like the way to go. Thanks for the advice brother!

Fishing local pond filled with lily pads
That's one think I didn't try out there. I flipped a Texas rigged senko in one or 2 places but next time I will have to give that a try thanks for the quick reply!

Fishing local pond filled with lily pads
Local bass fisherman in Oregon. Normally I fish lakes and do fairly well. Lately I have been going out to a local set of ponds that are pretty much covered bank to bank in small lily pads I have fished it about 5 hours a day twice this week and I can not for the life of me figure out why I can not get a bite I have fished topwater hollow frogs and soft plastic frogs over every inch of lily pad and got one bite the whole time.. I try several different cadences but nothing im doing seems to work.. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
