Just got back from a two hour stint at a local pond. Decided to try something a little different due to murkey water. My favorite pond is low, hot and filled with suspended algea or plankton bloom. With low visibility, I decided to bulk up.

I chose a 1/2 oz Micro Munch Tackle black jig matched up with a GYCB Kreature, black with blue flakes. Although the total weight is heavy, the Kreature's added bulk results in a surprisingly slow fall. When fishing this combination off the bottom, the bait combination appears to float before slowing falling back to the bottom when moved in short increments (6"-12").

The results were outstanding, especially given the condition of the water. Seven bass in two hours (11:00  - 1:00). One nice pig, two small bass and four, 3-4 lbs. The bite was subtle, but distinguishable; all feeding bites and strong, solid hook-ups. All of the bass were patrolling in deep water on a drop or on either side of a gradual sloping mud point. The presentation was a slow forward movement over scattered rocks and an extended pause attempting to imitate a crawdad.  

Sounds like you whacked em'!

All of the ponds around here look similiar to what you described.Low,with muddy water.Fish haven't been very active but it sounds like you figured em' out.

Way to go!

The bass were holding tight to structure as reference, but actively feeding.

i was trying to turn a kreature into "spider-like" jig but didnt have the right jig head....

glad to here it can be done....... i was trying because i was having a lot of success on Spider jigs but then ran out of them,.....i assumed a kreature jig would be the next best thing
