Great question. When it clears up fast and the fish get real close to spawning, fishing can be tough. That's one condition where I am thinking senko, senko, senko. Not that I really like senko fishing, but its one of the few methods that work - particularly on calm days. Fish around wood or out of the zone where light is penetrating.

Now this week, the forecast is for a southern storm. Which at Santa Margarita means one thing. Slammer, Slammer, Slammer. Margarita fish love to eat the Slammer in the rain. If they feel pushed off the beds by the rain, you could have a lot of fun the next few days.

If the storm turns out not so windy and rainy, then I'd reach for the hudd or a chatterbait. You just need some wind or surface disturbance.
