If you are faced with those conditions, what would you do?

I tend to not worry about the visibility. Some of my best winter fishing
in muddy conditions has been with smoke grubs and the like. But my most
reliable approach is a black, 1 oz jig. I like to feel it hit the bottom
hard, and never move it more than a few inches from the bottom, all
through the retrieve.

Find the area with deepest water least affected by current. Then use a
heavy, solid black jig, fished tediously slow and very tight to cover
and/or something vertical. Try to scrape the bottom as far into the
creases at the base of objects as possible.

Thanks - I will try a heavier jig. I have usually done the opposite,
using a very light jig for a slow fall, but your method makes sense
in low visibility water. I will get a chance to try it a week from
Sunday in my next tournament.
