Tactic for overcast days
When the weather warms and we have those overcast spring and summer days, I fish a lipless crank in a BONE color. Something about that off white color just seems to catch them when other colors fail. Cordell still makes Spots in bone color and a medium retrieve works best for me. On overcast days with rain, I will dead stick the same lure off main points down to 20 ft. Let it sit for about 30 seconds and RIP it from the bottom. A violent bite for sure if they are there.
Same color I love. Hard to find bone. I also fish it the same way at times. Sitar to a jigging spoon. I like to use 65 lb braid when I do this as I tend to get hung a lot. I will be doing some this w a eekend along with the Shakey head and spy baits.
