What lures do you throw when the water is muddy, real muddy?

There's a few different ones.

Most are presented close to cover and or close to the bottom, if not right on it.

Something that gives off a little thump like a spinnerbait can work;

think Colorado blade.

As @A-Jay said, Colorado blade spinnerbait would be my first choice. A paddle tail swimbait on a flashy swimmer would also be a good choice. Outside of moving baits, dark colored jigs or soft plastics would be my next choice. Black and blue, straight black, black and red would be what I would start with personally.

In order, a june bug Big EZ with a keel weighted bladed hook, a chrome and white trap, then a spinner bait as was mentioned.

I like to throw a few lures when the water is chocolate milk. One is a Citrus Shad type color Swim Jig. I also like to throw June bug Texas rigs or Jigs in cover. I also throw some Chatter baits in the same colors as the Swim Jig. Sometimes I also throw Citrus color crankbaits. One more is the double Colorado blade spinnerbait or a painted willow blade in bright white or neon orange.

Black spinnerbait with a copper blade . Colorado or willow . I like copper because it doesnt flash as brightly  so the bass is more likely to hit the black silhouette lure .

Big Chatterbaits with orange, white and chatruese. It's money. 

Water displacement.

Sunny and muddy flashy, chartreuse and white cranks 

cloudy and muddy black, red,  chartreuse cranks

 

spinner bait:  sunny a silver blade .  Cloudy copper or brass 

 

chatter bait:  sunny white or chartreuse 

cloudy black and blue 

 

sunny or cloudy black and blue jig

Lipless crank, dark colored artificial worm,  spinnerbait with a colorado blade, or white paddletail swimbait.

A red or bright orange lipless crankbait. 

Any lure

 

I fished a little bit yesterday in a mud hole  with 1 inch of visibility . Caught two three lbers with a black skirted spinnerbait and single willow in copper .

Tight up against the bank.

Black n Blue jig or Trig TIGHT to cover. Backs of coves where creeks enter is often productive.

This muddy enough . 1 inch of visibility . Caught a five bass 20 lb limit here this morning on a black spinnerbait copper willow leaf  blade  . Lost a giant .

Apparently I was supposed to mention, Lunker Lures Triple Rattleback Jig.

 

 

How deep are they?  Do they want it moving or slow?

 

1. As nearly everyone has said; black and blue jig with big, flappy black and blue trailer

 

2. Vibrating jig, dark colored and I highly, highly recommend the "bubble blade" available on the @Siebert Outdoors Fogy:

Under "blade color" select Bubble Blade.  This thing catches fish when nothing else will.  

 

3. As nearly everyone has said; large spinnerbait

 

4. Red or dark colored squarebill and the LARGER the better.  

 

5. T-rigged or wacky Berkley Maxscent General or Kingtail in a dark color.  The Maxscent stuff is outstanding and the Kingtail is a giant worm with a big, flappy tail.
