In the spring, our water is like creamed coffee. It's really hard to balance a wobble with a feel. The pauses are so boring, but necessary. I wouldn't know what to do with clear water. Post-spawn is considerably easier when our waters clear up to just muddy or stained/muddy on the deeper lakes.

Ok I thought about it some more and I think I might be able to get by with the following in the context of ,my usual type of fishing holes.  

 

 

3 light finesse:

 

4" methiolate slug-gos

4.5" sassy shad lunker+hunt (lol at the *** as if it was a swear word) bento minnows

7" MDRF roboworm straight tails

 

(all can be used topwater as T-rigged jerkbaits or as drop shot rigs)

 

 

2 heavy cover topwaters:

 

Spro bronzeye popper freak

Bettencourt slop rodent

 

(I can't live without heavy cover topwater poppers)

 

 

 

Put me someplace else and I might have to mix in some deeper cranks and jigs though.  Mostly though I'm looking for smaller ponds and lakes that have a prohibitive amount of lily, laydown or weed cover on them though so I find these two approaches work very well together.  

Hand tied 3/8 oz jig w rage craw, in green or orangeish.

 

1/2oz red eye shad in a red or a blue chrome.

 

3/16 oz shaky head with pumpkin seed trick worm.

 

Spro frog, color depends on time and lake.
