Fishing murky water for bass or carp or crappie?

Question

My favorite pond to fish at has bass,carp,crappie,panfish and bullhead.Most of the pond is 5-7 feet deep.The water is always brown and murky.When fishing with various tackle do you have any specific recommendations for each type of lure,spinner,plastic worm?

Answer 1

when using texas rigged worms trying putting the weight backwards with the point closest to the worm. this makes more commotion that attracts bass. use spinnerbaits that has a single colorado style blade.

Answer 2

real worm for the bass. crappie have to see the bait. try flo-green/white near a stump.

Answer 3

Use a dark colored worm for bass

Answer 4

No cover? Not good. Any trees on the bank partially in the water or casting plenty of shade on the water? That'll be great for bass. Fish facing the wind when fishing for crappie - they face that way and are on the wind-receiving end of the pond facing the small bait that might drift down. Stay low on the pond bank, or get into the water - wade - so you don't cast much of a shadow. Move slow, quiet. You're hunting!  Cast two small jigs, about 1/32 ounce apiece that are attached to your line about 2 feet apart. If you have to, add a very, very small split shot near the head of the bottom jig so it rides low in the water and the other will remain above it. Cast into the wind, wait just a sec., then keep your rod tip high and reel in slowly, occassionally flipping it upwards only and inch or two - do this by tightening your rod-grabbing hand into a fist - use no more than a slight wrist flip - continue slow reeling - repeating the process. Be sure that you are slightly touching the line near your reel with your thumb and index finger - this allows you to "read" the bottom - you can tell what's on the bottom and detect in a moment the quiet type pull of a big crappie -

   Remember, to catch a fish - it takes a jerk on both ends!  Ha!

Answer 5

use a lure that creates alot of vibration crank baits or colorado blade spinner baits all in dark colors.
