I'm fishing club T tomorrow on a small lake that is the color of Nesquick right now.  I fished the same lake last week and did pretty good on spinnerbaits and chatterbaits.  Any other suggestions for lures/colors that have worked for you in this kind of water?

I use large crankbaits and big bladed spinnerbaits with dark & bright colors something that will stand out in the background of muddy water and give off a lot of vibration  black is a very good color I don't use any ghost type colors or light colors.

Like the others said, I also like a  noisy black/blue jig with a large profile trailer like Zoom big salty chunk.

They need to hear your bait or feel its vibration so what the guys have told you is what you need to do.

You can try a dark spinnerbait with two painted Colorado blades for the vibration.

You may want to swim a black and blue jig with a black or blue pig pig, too.

Also, let the fish tell you where they are.

Are they still in their staging areas in 5 to 7 feet of water along the dropoffs and ridges or have they moved into shallow water to start their bedding?

Think about every strike you get or fish you catch as to where you caught it (points, flats, shoreline, structure, shallows, etc.); how far off the bank you got hit; and what bait were you throwing.  You will need to find the magic pattern and fish it until it changes during the day.

Also, remember that rocks hold heat so if the water temperature is in the 50s they will seek the heat.  And the wind blows the baitfish along the shoreline and the sun heats up one of the shorelines faster than the other so see where the sun shines and heats the water the fastest.

And muddy water heats up faster than clear water.  So you may not have a problem finding active fish even if the water is dirty.

Good luck and let us know how you did.

2 words ... Charteruse Spinnerbait  

I like to use spinner baits.  My favorite is a 3/8 Boohay White/Chartreuse.

Im from Oklahoma originally, so Ive seen alot of mud holes. I like spinners and carolina rig,Also Ive had alot of luck twiching a weightless fluke with fish attractants and a good pause before hookset. if the place stays muddy alot the fish rely on sensing motion and Ive found their strike is quite a bit different on a free falling fuke, it almost seems like their bumping it to check it out. Try it , it may work for you.
