Went to my local panfish lake and it was a great day on the water but nothing was biting. Water visibility was only 6 inches to a stained murky brown.
Tried white, pink, green, brown, black, purple and red jigs in many combos. Plastics, beetle spins, spoons, worms, shrimp and everything else without so much as strike.
Sonar showed fish everywhere in as shallow as 3 feet of water. Couldn't get a reading shallower in my buddies boat. A lot suspended in 12 to 25 feet of water.
What was I doing wrong? Fish shallow, fished as deep as 35 feet on the bottom and everywhere in between.
Couldn't even touch a yellow perch in a spot we got 30+ last year. It was later in the year but figured something would be there.
