    Default The Mud line ?


    let's say it rains 5 inches in a quick minute
    you hit the water a few hours later
    the lake is rising FAST
    do you pitch to the mudline ?
    or into the muddy water ?
    or into the clearer water ahead of the mudline ?
    this is a test .......
    by all means everyone that is all that chime in
    and if you are not , chime in as well ....
    just wondering is me ....
    full disclosure of the proper way to hammer in these conditions will follow when
    I have the time ....
    and for sure no matter what some say or think ....
    KABOOM is near

    I'd try them all but will focus on the edges of the mudline first, then the clearer water ahead of the mudline. Fish the muddy water last if I'm not having luck with the first two.

    I'm trying the clear water ahead of the mudline myself. Maybe start at the mudline and try to keep ahead of it.
    I have this situation at my local lake I'm sure. Lots of rain last night, some pretty good flooding.

    I'm fishing the clearer water each and every time. I drove by White Rock Lake yesterday and the entire lake was very muddy and the creek was way over it's banks.

    On the edges for me.
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    I have seen Crappie moving out in front on a mud line more than once . Tend to suspend in the cleaner water .

    I also cast into the line of dirty water and retrieve my bait (mostly a curlytail here) out into the cleared water with the direction of the water flow. Here the Crappie like mixing water.
