What to use in these conditions?

Featured Replies

I fish an area that is mostly unfished. There are pickerel, LM bass and trout and some sunnies. Not many frogs this time of the year and not many bugs either. The water is maybe 3-4' deep on one side and maybe 5' on the other side of the bridge. It pools in the end and that is probably 8-9' deep, semi clear water. Some parts you can see the rocks, some of it is dark due to trees and not much sunlight. It's going to be 60's this week, partly sunny and breezy. I have poppers, spinners, rapalas, plastics and my buddy brings live bait. What are some techniques for this type of situation? I can catch them pretty well, but it's mainly guess work on my part, trying what i know has worked in the past. Just didn't know if there was a method to fishing conditions like this.

I would start with throwing a spinnerbait on a windy bank. If they are still on the beds, any kind of soft plastic that you can sight fish with. Hope this helps!

Maybe a fluke or a hard jerbait like an rapala original floater
