standing timber in 8-12 ft of water. water is around 50 degrees. water clarity is stained/muddy. any ideas?

I would start with a swim jig. You could also use a flippin jig and/or some kind of creature bait.

Blk/Blu Jig is what I would start with. What state is this water located? Average size of fish would help also. Oh and this time of year and with that water temp I would think they would be suspended so I would also try a medium diving crank something in chart.

I'd be pitching a jig. Black and blue with a moderately sized trailer, most likely a Rage craw in black/blue or possible Okee craw.

pretty much anything you can pitch or flip.
