I just fished an event out here and had a brutal practice, but figured them out late in the tournament. The water on Marion is still pretty muddy, but don’t shy away from it. I had all of my luck in super muddy water with a double Colorado bladed spinner. I fished it around isolated cypress trees in 3.5-5ft of water. The key to good trees was a hard bottom - which was usually sand or shell. I had to fish a lot of trees to get fish, but the quality was there. I moved further away from the bank than I initially intended, and that paid off on the last day of the event. The spinnerbait bite was good as long as the sun was away… as soon as it came out you were better off throwing a neko rig or a shakey head around the bases. When fishing these trees, make sure you’re throwing well past them and bringing your bait along side them. Throwing right at the base of the tree will produce less bites.
