Over the past few years I have been fishing bass tournaments in Michigan
and Indiana. I have had most of my good days on the water on clear
lakes. I fish mostly tubes and craws and sometimes a strike king seris 6
crankbait in perch pattern. But when it comes to stained water I always
seem to come in empty handed, I try the same baits along with slow
rolling a spinnerbait. What can I do to increase my catch?

I'm not a "pro", but when I fish stained water, I fish a lot shallower,
and in tight to the cover. Use an action bait, but fish it slower so the
bass can locate it.......I like darker lures in stained water. For what
it's worth .
