Tip&Trick Description 1:
Muddy Water Baits
By Steve VonBrandt
Nothing ruins the occasional fishing trip more than driving a long distance to your favorite spot, only to find out it’s been raining for the last few weeks and the water is the color of Chocolate milk! Many years ago, I was like most weekend anglers, and would immediately try to find another lake or river that might be a little more clear, or just turn around and go home. But I found over the last 20 years, that it isn’t necessary to give up so quickly on muddy water.
There are many times when a creek arm, or a certain portion of the lake or river isn’t as muddy, or there is a transition zone where it goes from muddy to stained, which can be a good area, but, even if there is no clearer water, there are many things you can do. Most gamefish react the same way to muddy water, they go shallow and they move closer to structure. This could mean a lot of different types of structure, such as brushpiles, laydowns, rocks, stump fields, pads on shallow flats, anything! When the bas are holding tight to cover, because of low visibility, the lure presentations sometimes need to be precise, such as when flipping a log or tree roots with a jig. Bellow are the 6 basic choices you should have rigged for fishing muddy waters.
Plastic Worms: I know this sounds like a strange choice, but a lot of times when bass are holding real tight to cover, a larger, bulkier worm, with some rattle inserted, possibly with a paddle tail, worked real close in the cover, can work well. I used a black or a black/red combination in muddy water. I also use the new Big 7 inch Senko that is out now, and drop it right into heavier cover. I have been using the new Cut-Tail worm for this also.
Vibrating Rattlers: These baits such as the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, Cotton Bordell, Diamond Shad, or the Rattlin’ Rapalas, are excellent choices for probing different depths of muddy water, and where muddy changes to stained. The noise and vibrations of these baits, along with a realistic shad shape, make these great baits and stained to muddy water.
Crankbaits: I use a lot of the real fat bodied crankbaits in muddy water. I choose different baits with a wide wobble, and sometimes rattles. I usually stay with darker colors with red in muddy water. These colors with a wide wobble, are easier for bass to find.
Spinnerbaits: The bass will be using their lateral line more in the muddy water, so a spinnerbait with a heavy pulse such as a Terminator night bait, with a black skirt, and Colorado blade, is a perfect choice. You could even add rattles to this bait, which I have had success with in the muddy rivers and lakes in the Northeast. I always use a single Colorado blade on the spinner baits in muddy water, but in stained, or warmer stained water, I do go to an Oklahoma Blade sometimes with good results.
Topwaters: These are my favorite baits to use in muddy water. There are so many baits that shallow, muddy water bass will hit! The buzzbait worked slowly around cover will draw tremendous strikes. The walking type baits, such as a Zara Spook, and Fenwick walking baits, Jitterbugs, Crazy Crawlers, and a variety of other topwaters, including poppers with rattles, are excellent and exciting choices for muddy water bass. The bass will all be in water that is 1-4 feet deep, eliminating a lot of the water, making them easier to catch!
Jigs: Jigs in Brown/Black or Blue/Black with a Zoom or uncle Josh trailer, with some rattles, are an excellent choice to flip into laydowns, and shallow stump fields, and of course on docks. Make repeated casts to give them a good look and provoke them.
If you stick with these baits and methods the next time you run into muddy water, you will never be afraid to see it again. It will become a friend, as it has become to me.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MARCH 21-27, 2005
WEATHER: One day the wind blows, the next day there is no wind. This is typical weather for Cabo this time of year but it can make for interesting fishing, for sure! Thankfully most of the week the wind was tolerable, blowing from the north-west or the west and not coming from the south or east. No rain this week and our day time highs were around the low 80’s with the night time lows around the low to mid 60’s.
WATER: Every day that the wind blew the conditions on the Pacific side of the Cape began to erode. If the wind blew for two days, the second day became “Victory at Sea” kind of conditions. With the cold water being pushed into our area by the currents from the north, most of the fish were looking for warmer water anyway so most of the boats ended up fishing to the east or north on the Sea of Cortez. In those areas the surface conditions were much better and the water was warmer. On the Pacific, the cold 67 degree water extended from the shore and out past the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks. Along with being cold, the water was green. On the Cortez side the water close to shore was warmer, mostly in the 70-72 degree range and blue.
BAIT: This was a hard week for getting bait. Some of the bait Pangas limited their customers to 5 baits per day in an attempt to keep everyone happy. What was available was brought in from San Jose and was available at $2 per bait, mostly Mackerel.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin are still shy, but I had a customer this week that fished for 12 hours for two days and managed to release two Striped Marlin and one Blue Marlin, along with having shots at a few more fish. All of his action, along with all the Marlin action that I heard of came from the Cortez side of the Cape and happened close to shore, actually within 5 miles for the Striped, and 30 miles out for the Blue. What a lot of the guys have been looking for this past week were Swordfish. With the water cool and green to the Pacific side and the south, there have been quite a few of them sighted and a few hooked up. Never here in any large numbers, this is the time of year we start seeing them.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Look for the Porpoise and if you get lucky there will be Tuna mixed in. That was the key for this week, and the key word there is “lucky”. Many of the Porpoise pods found did not have any Tuna with them, so you often had to try and find as many pods as possible. Those fish that were caught were mostly in the 10-15 pound range with a few to 40 pounds. Cedar plugs and feathers worked and boats that were able to get a good bite going found themselves able to catch a limit. Other boats, not so lucky, ended up a trip with just one Tuna in the box.
DORADO: Again the floating Kelp was the key to a good Dorado catch, but the currents were not taking much of it to the warmer Cortez side. We found a lot of small paddies in the current lines at the San Jaime Banks, but with the water cold and green there were no fish associated with them. Dorado that were found were on the Cortez side and most of them ranged from 6-20 pounds.
WAHOO: The Wahoo bite improved a bit this last week, but there were still not a lot of them caught. The full moon on the 25th may have had something to do with the improved bite; it seems to happen that way. Most of the fish were 25-35 pounds but a few were reported at 80-90 pounds. Dark colored lures run very long, I mean back on the 12th wake, did very well on Wahoo, as did Marauders run close to the boat.
INSHORE: Just as last week, the Sierra continued to move around. Most of the fish have been 4-8 pounds and now have been found on the Cortez side of the Cape, the green water on the Pacific pushed them around. Along with Sierra there has been a good bite on Skipjack to 10 pounds along with some small Dorado. For anglers working the bottom or mid depths there have been a few nice Pargo and Amberjack mixed in and only a few Grouper and Yellowtail. Next to the beach a few small Roosterfish have been found as well with sizes mostly around 5-8 pounds
.
NOTES: I have not seen any Gray Whales this week and have seen only a few Humpbacks. The fish have been scattered and not here in great numbers so having the Whales around made things better, now we have to be satisfied with the Porpoise! Having the Swordfish begin to show makes every trip more interesting, as this is probably the premier billfish available. Catching one of them is like winning the lottery! This weeks report was written to the music of Boz Scaggs on the 1994 Virgin Records release “Some Change”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
