    Default Trolling jigs in muddy water


    Anyone have much luck trolling jigs in muddy water? Which colors work best? Looks like most lakes in the state will be this way for awhile.
    I only fish the two best days of the year, when its raining and when its not!

    Black or purple/Chartreuse & John Deere green. Larger bodies like sliders or bucktails help sometimes. Had a lot of luck pushing roadrunners in the mud, the flash or vibrations gets attention.
    You just gonna sit there an argue, or fish?

    Get close to the mud color as you can. I run some jigs that have are a rust color and dark green and they work great for the muddy water at the Rock.

    I've used June bug, and orange/chart on road runners with the most success in muddy water. Can't go wrong with minnows in muddy water either.
    Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
    Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    I've used a red and bright orange in the past. I'll be on Badin or Tillery later this week. Let things settle a bit. I'll let you know how it went. Thanks to all.
