Berkly hollow belly swimbaits are great options when fishing clear water.

If you are fishing clear water for any species of fish you must match the forage of the body of the water.  This is well painted jerkbaits and crankbaits can really do well.  Also, life like swimbaits are a good options.  If you are using spinnerbaits or chatterbaits you should use a more natural looking skirt with the proper blades to match.  The same is true with crawfish.  Depending on what part of the country and type of structure that  you are fishing crawfish take on different color patterns.  Knowing which pattern will lead to a higher success rate.

My buddy BJ and I went out on the Springdale pool of the Allegheny river for a few hours Friday after work.  BJ just purchased his first boat so we went out to check it out.  Since we are already out on the water we decided to do a little fishing while we were out.  We were only able to stay out for 2-2 ½ hours but ended up landing 8 bass (7 spotted and 1 smallmouth) as well as 4 rock bass.  All the fish we caught came by working walls and pillars with crawfish style plastics, Texas rigged with a 1/8 bullet weight.  Had to let the baits sit in place for a good 20-30 seconds to get them to take it.  Here is BJ first fish on his new boat.  Really nice looking spotted bass.  I would say it was 15-16″ and really fat.
