I live in east Texas the temperature is in the mid 50s/60s it has been sunny on weekends but is usually overcast this time of year, i generally fish water that is stained and i fish anywhere from 3 feet to 15-25 feet deep,the lake has a bit of structure like logs and brush under the water with some patches of hydrilla what bait should i be throwing this time of year?

After last weekend's Classic, I think everyone will be throwing a DT6.

Squarebill in the prevalent baitfish color

A chatterbait would be a good bet too. If you find the hydrilla that is still green and alive, may try a rattle trap style bait as well ripped off the tops of the grass. Like the idea of the squarebill as well bounced up and around the wood/timber followed by a jig pitched to the heavier pieces of both. When you catch a few, really look at where/what they were relating to and look for that combo the rest of the day.
