In muddy water you want usually a bigger profile bait. SO you can move more water to get the attention of bass. I like black and blues worms, and Red Shad in muddy water myself. Fish usually are shallower in muddy water than clear water. Also you want to fish slower in muddy water so you give the fish a better chance to find your bait. These are some of the things I do for muddy water.

Your question is probably going to get you more questions than answers.
As for color, I tend to stick to two basic colors - red shad and green. I am not convinced that color selection is all that important. It maybe accounts for 1% of the overall strategy in my opinion. Other factors are far more important. Most brands are fine. Some tend to put up with wear and tear better. Experiment by buying two different colors in two different brands and see which you prefer. I ususally buy Zoom worms. More importantly is location and technique. Give us some more information about structure, cover, temperature, depth, etc. Are you familiar with how to fish a Texas rig, Carolina rig, drop shot, and so on? Also, there are a variety of worm types. What type were you thinking about? The more information you give the more detail we can give. |

Personally I like Winged worms from HomeTown Handpours and you get like 50 for 12 bucks or something. I also like just plain black worms. THese babies move a lot of water. Also a big tube works alright in muddy water. The weight depends on the time of year and the mood of the fish. Heavy or light when fish are not on bite. 1/4 oz or 3/16 when they are feeding.

Color: Depends on if it is sunny or cloudy. If it is sunny I use brighter colors like chartreuse or baby bass, and if it is cloudy I use darker, more natural colors like watermelon and green pumpkin. Size: Usually 4-6" depending on the bait. I very rarely throw a plastic worm in muddy water. Since the visibility is low, I like a bulkier bait like a Zoom Brush Hog, a Yum Sooie, or a Sweet Beaver. It moves more water than a worm, thus sending out more vibration for the fish to find with it's lateral line. Brand: Take your pick-I probably use Zoom more than any. Technique: Fish tight to cover. If you hit an object so much the better. Fish are like people in low visibility-they need to orient themselves to something. In a dark room we reach out for the wall to get our bearings, so fish get up right next to cover for the same reason. A few years back I was fishing a pond after heavy rain and it looked like chocolate milk. There was one weed clump visible in the area I was fishing, so I threw a single bladed spinnerbait where it would hit the weed clump on the retrieve. I got the bait back with a 4 lb. LM attached. My point is that in low visibility, i.e. muddy water the fish will not be roaming around-they will hunker down next to cover, so fish the edges as tight as possible.
