dark jigs, use scents, use minnows...slow your baits..
smitty got it, dark colors, if they cant see, letem smell it, and slow slow slow. also slice the tail on the minnows so it gets more blood scent in the water.
Fish Shallower?

Another question I have about muddy water is, it can't be good for the motor can it? All that discolor is caused by suspended solids which is nothing but grit that has not settled out. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like running my motor in water like that, what do you guys think? :confused:
"Shep"
it is bad for the impeller on the water pump but cant really help it i dont think. if my boat is going to sit for a bit before i take it out again, i usaully run it on muffs in the driveway to flush it out, then bump it a few times with water off to get the water out if its freezing temps.
you will do more damage bumping it a few times gitting the water out than the silt will in muddy water .water will drain out when not running and in a down position .when a foot freeze up and bust it is when the foot gearcase has water in it.
AMEN to thatQuote:

You really had to want to be there on Friday and Saturday. The Hi water and trash didnt seem to bother the Stripers any at all. We loaded the boat with stripers. All in all it was a great week of fishing. That is all I know about fishing muddy water. Sometimes the desire to fish just overcomes the adversities.
:rolleyes:Hey foulhook, I'm all for darker colors jigs but my best thing about fishing in muddy waters is founding a lake that isnt muddy:eek: Just my 2 cents my friend;)
dynomite and a dip net :)
