Cabin fever has set in. What baits, colors, techniques etc. do you use for stained or muddy water. I'm talking 0-2 ft visibility. Any tips would be appreciated.

I like to throw hi-vis baits like chrome raiders, jakes, and bright spinnerbaits.
Stuff that throws off a lot of flash to get the fish's attention. Also gives me a chance
to pick up the bait as it comes in to the boat. Sucks not being able to see a following fish though.

Definitely baits that are loud colored, alot of vibration but not as erratic. Jointed baits for telling.

don't forget slow noisy topwater, often with poor water clarity there will be some skies ultra shallow.
