In clear water conditions such as most of the finger lakes in New York, Presque Isle Bay or any of the northern section of the Allegheny River power fishing can be very productive.  There are a couple things to remember though.  First, you need to keep the lure moving at a moderate to fast pace.  You don’t want the fish to get too good of a look at  your spinnerbait, buzzbait, or crankbait.  Second, is that color selection needs to be as natural as possible.  Third, don’t be affraid to fish over deep water near the surface.  The fish will come a long way to strike in clear water.  Good fishing.
