   my uncle and i use this term for trout fishing, but i works for bass, too. “swingin’ shiners” means using fatheads/shiners and just throwing them out and either letting them do their thing or reel them like a lure. if that doesn’t work, then try a top water jitterbug it works for me.

   Live bait. Catch a small fish on a small hook then toss it back in near some reeds or other cover and hang on!!!! I caught a 5lb smallmouth using this idea. OR catch “crawdads” and use those. Both work great for me!!!

   I just started using a Spro Frog and it has worked wonders. They’re fairly expensive, but they work really well. Very high quality. You can find them at Wal-Mart for maybe $6.

   It really depends on the lake, water temp, and the time of the year. The water is now starting to warm up, so bass are now moving from the shallows to deeper water. I went out to Ray Roberts lake a couple of weeks ago, and we did ok on 10 inch worms at about 10-15 feet. Look for watermelon seed or darker blue or purple baits. The rule of thumb is to match the murkiness of the water with your bait. If the water is murky, use a darker bait, and use a lighter bait when it is not. A good general purpose bait color is chartruse for deep running crank baits and spinner baits.
   The shallows won’t work too well except the early morning. You might be able to use top water baits or chartruse spinner baits in the AM. Also, try to find weeds in deeper water since they are usually productive.
   So, to answer your question, try worms or deep running baits near trees, weeds and dropoffs near the shore. If you can find all of these conditions together, you should have a good change of catching some fish.

   Have you ever used a senko or yum dinger? These lures work everywhere. Since the water is murky, go with dark colors like black, black/blue, and my favorite, junebug. If there is a sandy bottom where you are fishing, rig it wacky style. If not then go with texas rigged. Cast it out, let it sink for about 30 seconds and then jerk it a couple of times with the rod tip (not the reel) let it sink for another 10 seconds and repeat. Here is a link for you to check out:http://www.bassdozer.com/articles/senko.…
   good luck!

   Murky water you would be better of with a dark purple or black worm.
   The dark plastic worms are better for murky water though, I’ve caught them on many colors as well.
