in my experience i've always used the same bait on heavily clouded water but given it a good glugging in some sort of oil. Maybe the glugg which matches your bait or you could always just use a food oil like salmon oil.

I've been fishing a water where the water is brown 365 days a year and i've been getting some succes using very oily halibut pellets.

because the water is cloudy then the visual aspect of the bait is thrown right out of the equation and the only way to make the bait super attractive is to make it STINK.

Cant say much more then Andy has said i also would put down a bed of smelly pellets like halibut pellets and hemp and fish a glug soaked boilie or pellet over the bed glugged in Halibut oil so it stinks that bit more then the bed of particles.

Well I Tryed The Oily Baits And No Go The Water Is Still Very Cloudy Didnt Used To Be And Fish Are Dead Now Its **** ?

is the cloud in the water a greeny sort of color? you could have an algae bloom on your hands, we had one at compstall a few weeks back but they just open the gates and flush it out from the river. A few fish have died ther too.

Narpy,

the captials thing happens like that if you leave caps lock on. it did it on me the other day and i thought WTF too

[Bet]

No matey the water isn't green its brown as if the bottom has been stirred up,with not having much rain over winter none has flowed in from the inlet stream.The strange thing is that the water behind the island area approx 1ft deep is crystal clear like the lake usually is at this time of year.my thoughts were that if an algae bloom was in force that all water would be affected.The fish arent showing or acting normally as in prior years.something is amiss.

sounds to me like its getting raked up frequently or netted !

hmmm .... our suspicions exactly

Thats What We All Said To ?
