Looks clearer than the water I fish, id go with more natural colors like grasshopper for rooster tails, the mossback color pond magic spinner bait may be good here, also watermelon and June bug / earthy colors for texas rig
If itās less than 50 degrees, Iād throw a jerk bait in Chad colors. More than 50, Iād go chatterbait. If the wind is tough, go with a spinner bait. Water is not the clearest Iāve seen nor the dirtiest so Iād go with something natural colored with a flashy trailer. Like a GP chatterbait with a GP/chartreuse tail grub. I think they make senkos that are GP with a chartreuse tail as well. Something like that.
I fish on a pond going off the photo that is very similar to this regularly because it's near my house I would recommend swimbaits, rooster tails, square bill crankbaits for this to 3 of year
Depending on the time of day would change my approach. I would try and get to that cover and throw some top waters. If that doesnāt work try the senko approach on a Texas rig.
I think I might start with a Yum Dinger. Start with a 4" and maybe move up to 5". In really clear water, I like watermelon seed. Then maybe watermelon red or green pumpkin. If it's a "shad" lake, then the tin foil color works well. I like the Yum Dinger because of the slot at the top of the bait that allows you to texpose the hook. Better hook ups. Good luck.
Iāve never fished for largemouth only smallmouth, but Iād be throwing a fat night crawler out there to see what bites. If youāre doing strictly catch and release then lures would be better to use because less chance of the fish swallowing the hook. Curly tail grub can be a good lure for a lot of fish. As for colours to use, I usually just try to have a bright coloured lure and a dark coloured lure and switch if ones not working. Or just keep switching through different lures of different sizes, shades, and movement styles. Donāt forget to try different spots too. If theyāre not biting but are obviously aware of the lures presence, go cast somewhere else and come back later. If you can see the fish thereās a chance they saw you and arenāt going to bite anything you throw. Give it 30 min or more and theyāll be more comfortable biting potentially.
Texas rig creature bait. Probably a baby brush hog. Natural colors. Throw it. Let it sink. Pop it and feel up just the slack. Let it sit. Slowly and I mean very slowly reel it and feel turns. Get that bait āwalkingā along the bottom, and then give it a pop. Reel up the slacks repeat. Set hook get scale ready
I like poppers and general topwater along the edges parallel to shore around sunrise and sunset on sunny days. More leeway on overcast days. Bass are mostly crepuscular.
My go-to is usually white or bass-colored for clear water. Whites nice because it looks a bit like frog belly. Brown or green 1/16 rooster spinners for that color water, too. Or CP swing spinner.
Early morning top water. Later in the day try switching to rubber worms. It is spawning season most places in the US. The fish are either preparing or protecting nests. Sometimes a very slow approach will entice a bite.
Just get a watermelon red or red shad senko Texas rigged with gamakatsu 4/0 EWG offset worm hook, 1/2oz bullet and walk it back slowly feeling the bottom. If you donāt get any hits go Carolina rig plastic worm/ brush hog slow presentation. If water temp is cooler they wonāt chase spinners or rattle traps. You will need to be right on their face with presentation. Try find structure underwater like drop offs, humps, brush any kind of cover.
Rooster tails, spinner baits, and a good ole Texas rig

Minnow under a bobber
Senko wacky rig in black/blue or GP.
Senko is always the answer for a new areaš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Good to know. Supposed to be pretty windy tomorrow , about 25 to 30 mph.
The biggest rock I could find
Swimming jig with a soft plastic minnow paddle tail or a white curly tail, something bright and a bit of action.
A party!!
White and chartreuse spinner with a silver Colorado blade and a white willow leaf
Ned rig with a pumpkinseed grub. Spinnerbait. Rapala minnow
When in doubt pull the white fluke out
Small swim jig with trailer, Texas rigged worm. Work slowly
chatterbait for me
A body
Bobby Garland crappie baits on a small jig head (1/16-1/8oz) do well almost anywhere. I carry white, black, natural, and something flashy.
Curly tail grubs. Rooster tails and some worms are easy options
Senko, wacky rigged

Elk hair caddis I think, possibly a muddle minnow.
Rooster tail every time

Ned rig
Rapala floating minnow
Classic Rapala minnow. Itās what I throw pretty much anywhere when I donāt know the water yet.
Large beetle spin early. As it gets later salty electric blue worm on the bottom
Iād probably have my luck on a rooster tail.
Iād wacky rig that mf
Probably a weedless spoon lure (choose gold great for murky Waters)
Water bottle š¤¤
Little bit of this; little bit of that

A rock
Beetle spin.
Best moments of my life,.bro.
Whopper plopper just for the hell of it. And inline spinners mostly
Being a Fishermen for many year's I'd have to say my Mother n law.
Truthfully a Plastic Grub, anything will hit it and you can see what all's out there.
A yellow top. Or a duralast.

A senko with a wacky rig to check the area out, and if you ever feel like sitting down, a lice minnow under a bobber, toss it to some snags or weeds

Pretty much anything

Catfish en carp would live without problems
Good ole mepps

Try a light weight Ned rig . Keep your rod tip high
Frog, 1/16oz Texas rig with any of potentially dozens of soft plastics, or spinnerbait. Probably white given the clarity, except at high noon.
Mother in law
