>>805371This time of year, Mepps should be good at sunset or early morning with the cloudy water. Mepps and other spinners are supposed to imitate a school of baitfish.
It is basically July, so maybe the water is getting kind of warm to be fishing spinners during the day. That's how it is here most of the year in South Florida. So I do the Texas rigs with worms, crawdads, lizards, or brush hogs. Bullet weights pull them down to the bottom and the lizard tails or crawdad claws kinda flail above the mud or grass. The bass see it as an easy target and will go for it when they wouldn't normally chase a crankbait or spinner. For the muddy water, I would probably do a dark color like "Junebug".
I mean you can go to Walmart and pick up a pack of 4/0 worm hooks, some 1/4oz bullet weights, and a pack of Zoom Baby Brush Hogs for like $7.
