Thread: Muddy water

In case you all are wondering the fish will still bite in this muddy water. I had a friend fly in from New Mexico last Thursday to attend his mother in laws 90th Birthday and he really wanted to go fishing, I thought what the heck if nothing else we could go out and have a few laughs. Much to my surprise we ended up catching 38 fish between 8:00 to 2:00. Way more then I ever expected. It was a mixed bag of crappie, catfish, brim and a white perch. We ended up keeping 14 crappie for the grease all over 10”. The water looked like coffee with a lot of cream in it. The lake was Randleman, water temp was 78 degrees and we long lined trolled single 1/16 oz. jugs with darker colors working best. Although he did catch the 3 biggest with a lemon merengue. If you get a chance get after them but watch out for the floating logs . Attachment 316860
