| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Muddy Water Baits
By Steve VonBrandt
Nothing ruins the occasional fishing trip more than driving a long distance to your favorite spot, only to find out its been raining for the last few weeks and the water is the color of Chocolate milk! Many years ago, I was like most weekend anglers, and would immediately try to find another lake or river that might be a little more clear, or just turn around and go home. But I found over the last 20 years, that it isnt necessary to give up so quickly on muddy water.
There are many times when a creek arm, or a certain portion of the lake or river isnt as muddy, or there is a transition zone where it goes from muddy to stained, which can be a good area, but, even if there is no clearer water, there are many things you can do. Most gamefish react the same way to muddy water, they go shallow and they move closer to structure. This could mean a lot of different types of structure, such as brushpiles, laydowns, rocks, stump fields, pads on shallow flats, anything! When the bas are holding tight to cover, because of low visibility, the lure presentations sometimes need to be precise, such as when flipping a log or tree roots with a jig. Bellow are the 6 basic choices you should have rigged for fishing muddy waters.
Plastic Worms: I know this sounds like a strange choice, but a lot of times when bass are holding real tight to cover, a larger, bulkier worm, with some rattle inserted, possibly with a paddle tail, worked real close in the cover, can work well. I used a black or a black/red combination in muddy water. I also use the new Big 7 inch Senko that is out now, and drop it right into heavier cover. I have been using the new Cut-Tail worm for this also.
Vibrating Rattlers: These baits such as the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, Cotton Bordell, Diamond Shad, or the Rattlin Rapalas, are excellent choices for probing different depths of muddy water, and where muddy changes to stained. The noise and vibrations of these baits, along with a realistic shad shape, make these great baits and stained to muddy water.
Crankbaits: I use a lot of the real fat bodied crankbaits in muddy water. I choose different baits with a wide wobble, and sometimes rattles. I usually stay with darker colors with red in muddy water. These colors with a wide wobble, are easier for bass to find.
Spinnerbaits: The bass will be using their lateral line more in the muddy water, so a spinnerbait with a heavy pulse such as a Terminator night bait, with a black skirt, and Colorado blade, is a perfect choice. You could even add rattles to this bait, which I have had success with in the muddy rivers and lakes in the Northeast. I always use a single Colorado blade on the spinner baits in muddy water, but in stained, or warmer stained water, I do go to an Oklahoma Blade sometimes with good results.
Topwaters: These are my favorite baits to use in muddy water. There are so many baits that shallow, muddy water bass will hit! The buzzbait worked slowly around cover will draw tremendous strikes. The walking type baits, such as a Zara Spook, and Fenwick walking baits, Jitterbugs, Crazy Crawlers, and a variety of other topwaters, including poppers with rattles, are excellent and exciting choices for muddy water bass. The bass will all be in water that is 1-4 feet deep, eliminating a lot of the water, making them easier to catch!
Jigs: Jigs in Brown/Black or Blue/Black with a Zoom or uncle Josh trailer, with some rattles, are an excellent choice to flip into laydowns, and shallow stump fields, and of course on docks. Make repeated casts to give them a good look and provoke them.
If you stick with these baits and methods the next time you run into muddy water, you will never be afraid to see it again. It will become a friend, as it has become to me.

San Jose del Cabo
June 9, 2014
Anglers
We are in the later part of the spring season, with moderate sized crowds
of tourists now visiting, this is always the time when families are busy
finishing school semesters, preparing for graduations, summer adventures,
etc. Local weather patterns made a complete circle this past week. We had
just seen the seasons first Hurricane form to the south of Cabo San Lucas,
Amanda, this system pushed tropical humid air over the Southern Baja,
stormy conditions which never amounted to much, besides some higher ocean
swells, in recent days we are feeling strong southerly winds push cooler
Pacific air and ocean currents in the direction of the Sea of Cortez. There
is much marine moisture, creating morning clouds, being swept away by
gusting winds later in the day.
Ocean water temperature in the past couple of days has plummeted from 80
plus degrees, to 72 degrees throughout the inshore region from Cabo San
Lucas to Los Frailes, some 10 to 15 miles offshore of Vinorama to La
Frailes is where the 80 degree temperature break is now lurking. This
colder current is a dirty greenish color as well, unfavorable conditions
contributed to scattered much of the baitfish and gamefish from this zone.
As conditions settle, conditions will rebound, as this is the time of year
where things can change quickly overnight.
There are many species of gamefish that have been encountered in local
waters this spring, though none of the species have been particularly
abundant, with the exception of the offshore action for the striped marlin,
which at times was very close to shore, then further out, this action has
been very consistent for nearly two months, just tapering off this past
week, as food sources migrate so do the gamefish. Sailfish, thrasher shark
and scattered dorado were also found on these same billfish grounds. No big
schools of dorado, mostly solitary fish, a couple of bulls up to 40 pounds
were accounted for this week, this is now the season for the larger bulls.
Before the ocean water turned over and became greenish throughout the
inshore zone, we were seeing a handful of yellowfin tuna and wahoo in the
fish counts, most of these fish were taken while trolling the grounds from
San Luis to Vinormama, some fish weighing near fifty pounds were landed. We
should see this action return as the ocean conditions clean. The activity
will be determined by what exactly happens with these strong Pacific
currents, something we deal with every year at this time.
Roosterfish are dominating the inshore scene, fish to over fifty pounds
were landed this week, trolling with live moonfish has been the ticket to
taking a monstrous strike. Changing conditions slowed this action and
pushed it further to the north, but surely will shift back our direction
soon enough. Still waiting to see schools of mullet move in along local
beach stretches, their migration is late this year, last year we never saw
mass abundance of mullet, though it sure was an epic year for big numbers
of larger sized roosterfish, these are prized fighting, unique gamefish,
not known for eating quality, with limited habitat, should be protected,
caught and released with care, in order to mature, reproduce and fight
another day.
Bottom action has produced mixed success and recent winds had shut that
option down, though there have been some impressive specimens of dogtooth
snapper, amberjack and cabrilla accounted for, spotty limited numbers
though, drift fishing with bait or working the yo-yo jigs were best
options.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 82 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 2 thrasher shark, 8 yellowfin tuna, 9
striped marlin, 5 sailfish, 7 wahoo, 10 amberjack,13 cabrilla, 12 sierra,
24 dorado, 8 dogtooth snapper, 25 bonito and 88 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
