Top Baits For Muddy Water Bass Fishing!

You can't bass fish in Spring without running into muddy water. For some anglers its a disaster, while others wait in anticipation. If you know how to adapt to muddy water in the Spring, you can have some of your best days after a storm. The key to muddy water is knowing where the fish go, and which baits give you the best shot at catching them. 

In today's video Tim breaks down the six baits he relies on to catch fish in muddy water. He explains how colors, sound, and vibration can all impact your catch rates. Then he goes in depth on the circumstances where each lure type will shine. If you're an angler who doesn't understand muddy water, its time to give it a try. Warm, muddy water flowing into a lake will position fish in predictable ways and makes them easier to catch than when the water is clear.

Top 5 Baits For Muddy Water Bass Fishing

Don't be afraid of mud! Murky water can be a real challenge, especially in Winter. If you're tired of being stumped by cold, muddy water, this video is for you! Knowing what baits to use and when to switch between them will make a huge difference. Don't let muddy water intimidate you anymore, its time to adapt and overcome with these quick tips. 

The key to muddy water is understanding when its holding active fish and when it causes them to shut down. In Winter, the distinction is water temperature. Not a specific water temperature but whether the incoming water is warmer or colder than the water in the lake. If its warmer, the baits discussed in this video will help you catch bass consistently. 

Focus on lures that have flash, vibration, and bold colors. Focus ultra shallow as the water rises and around cover as it stabilizes. Below you'll find a breakdown of the baits (with color recommendations) that were discussed in the video.
