What do you do when the water gets kinda dirty? How do you fish for dirty dog bass?

I think its amazing how shallow fish can get when the water turns muddy or how deep in stuff they will burry up in. I feel if there was ever a time to flip, its when that water turns muddy. Other techniques i have used and done well with is cranking wood or slinging spinnerbaits ;D

Fished very muddy water this weekend and caught fish on black spinnerbait, red zone rat-l-trap and a hula popper.

Can't go wrong with a black worm

When fishing muddy water, if I am not using a topwater racket causing bait, I use either Black, White or Firetiger. Mostly white though. The way I reason it (and I might be wrong as usual) is based on what I learned in science class way back when. White reflects all light while black absorbs all light. Given two baits of the same size/shape/vibration, I would think that based on sight alone this would tip the advantage to white.

There are times when white doesn't work in muddy, and then I switch to Firetiger and then black.

I go shallow.

I go dark.

I make alot of pitches and flips to the same target. Keeping the bait as close to the target as possible.

Another option is to use a loud spinnerbait or crankbait with a lot of wobble. But a jig is my first choice.

Chatter type bait puts out a lot of vibes
