Just a thought is there a conection with the amount of fish taken on jig fishing this time of year and muddy water, an earlier post said the water is clearer several inches from the bottom due to current thermocline etc. after thaw the water is often muddy from march till may or so, are these hungry fish laying close to bottom in the clearer water looking for movement resembling a bait fish, ie purple hair jig ,blade twister. tail etc. and then going after it with gusto ? seems after may/ june when water clears up fish no longer go for hair jigs but like a worm harness, or spinner earie dearie or other wait forward spinner any other ideas on this
