[quote TubeDude][cool][#0000ff]There are a lot of bait soakers who know all about the muddy water situation. They have found that simply drowning crawlers will catch more wipers than trolling or casting lures. And, the wipers are a lot more shallow than most trollers "wash their lures". A lot of the wipers being caught are coming from water less than 7 feet deep.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]On my last tubing trip I caught two wipers dragging a small tube on the bottom in shallow water and another slowly working a diving crankbait so that it kept digging into the bottom in about 5 feet of water. I had other bumps from fish that just couldn't see well enough to connect in the murky water.[/#0000ff][/quote]
I don't agree with ya on this Pat, I tried to out wit them with this very thought of yours from previous posts an NADA! I feel that the wipers rely on sight and sound more than scent. I can catch cats all day long with this method (like you have posted up) but wipers are rarely hit in these conditions.
