well, you caught 3 today, you're doing something right. Typically when I fish clear water I downsize the presentation as much as I possibly can. I'd use 8 pound flurocarbon with a 4-6 inch worm. Use natural colors in clear water.

Sounds like you got a good lake to try to get some fluke bites early in the morning with it being clear and having weeds. I would also try if I were you a rattle trap and I would let it sink in those weeds and rip it out and some jerkbaits. Make sure to use natural colors and for plastics match them to the bottom. Use realistic colors for the hard baits and work the fluke and cranks very fast to get them to bite in clear water. If your catching fish I would try to expand or play around with what has already produced because you are not far off probably.

i use a wacky rig in the pit i fish at. just run it on the bank, or if u have a boat cast to the bank and work it back to the bank.
