I myself have always had a lot of action in such water conditions and have caught some of my biggest northern pike in murky water. The secret lies in choosing the right lure and color!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Topwater lures, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits that make a lot of noise and produce vibrations are your best picks for pike fishing in murky water. The absolute best lure colors for murky water pike are white, green\/chartreuse, and orange. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article is based on my personal experiences over the last 20+ years and on a big survey that involved asking 100 pike anglers for their lure and color preferences.

This is one of the many advantageous biological features that have made the pike an apex predator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while they prefer relatively clear water to hunt in, pike can nevertheless hunt and feed in stained or dark water as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&rsquo;s thanks to yet another of their highly developed features; their <a aria-label=\"lateral line (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/lateral-line-system#:~:text=Lateral%20line%20system%2C%20also%20called,changes%20in%20the%20surrounding%20water.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">lateral line<\/a>. This amazing sensory organ, that by the way is found on almost all aquatic vertebrates, allows the pike to detect movements, vibrations, and pressure changes in the surrounding water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a aria-label=\"research paper (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/j.1365-2400.2008.00635.x?casa_token=JGF9V5Ten0oAAAAA%3A6hjWnCDlOmOr5IstdCUnP4j7Kf9TgNrQVPOX95c8bhCwW4Gxvi_MZSSVwKEDzg836RbzMY2idsyFO-WM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">research paper<\/a> even argues that pike move and hunt more actively in turbid or murky water, as they can&rsquo;t solely rely on their visual sense to find prey and hence need to patrol their habitat more frequently and actively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as it turns out, murky water pike fishing can be extremely rewarding. All you have to do is base your tactics and lure selection on those two above-mentioned magical words; vibration and movement! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you combine those with really aggressive and bright lure colors, as they&rsquo;ll manage to keep some of their visibility even in very low underwater light conditions, no pike will be able to resist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s move on to the article&rsquo;s next sections, which include the very best lures and the very best lure color<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Lures for Pike Fishing in Murky Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topwaters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In extremely murky water with very low visibility, topwater lures can often produce plenty of pike on or just below the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one thing, the visibility that&rsquo;s there will be highest near the surface, where the sunlight can at least penetrate a few inches of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, topwater swimbaits or poppers have great movement and action, causing a lot of vibration and surface water disturbance. This will attract any nearby pike, regardless if they can see the lure or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like whopper poppers with rotating tails, as they will splash around and create even more surface vibration! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing a pike ascending out of the dark water and hitting your lure on the surface is an awesome thing to experience! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07Q2SW4DG\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B07Q2SW4DG&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=strikeandcatc-20&amp;linkId=5b0ee1bdbc0ef2b7d04ee1975a3bfbf9\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">You can check out these highly effective surface lures on Amazon here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crankbaits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rattling crankbaits are another awesome lure choice for pike in stained water. They both wobble and rattle like mad and will drive any pike crazy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think these types of lures make the pike hit them out of pure aggression because the intense rattling must irritate their <a aria-label=\"ear stones (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/tpwd.texas.gov\/kids\/wild_things\/fish\/howdofishhear.phtml#:~:text=Fish%20hear%2C%20but%20their%20%22ears,to%20help%20them%20with%20balance.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">ear stones<\/a>, through which they detect vibrations in the water, much like the lateral line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially so because they won&rsquo;t be able to see what&rsquo;s causing this irritation! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A super-effective pike crankbait for murky water is the Strike King Square Bill. It dives down to 3 to 6 feet, making it the perfect choice for fishing in shallower water ranges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And thanks to its heavy and bulky body, it&rsquo;ll make sure that the pike will notice it, especially if you&rsquo;re going for a whitish or silvery lure color! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also throw it really far out, as it comes in sizes 1, 1.5, and even 2.5 ounces, allowing you to cover a lot of water from the boat or shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07CTG6TDC\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B07CTG6TDC&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=strikeandcatc-20&amp;linkId=e67085fd0adc2910d6e4920672319b5c\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Find the awesome and super popular Strike King Square Bill on Amazon here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double-Bladed Spinnerbaits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to big double-bladed spinners for pike, there&rsquo;s nothing better than heavy artillery Mepp&rsquo;s spinnerbaits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is undoubtedly my favorite pike fishing lure and these types of inline spinners have caught me a ton of big pike over the years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It simply is the perfect murky water lure, as it combines both large size, flashy colors, vibrations, and a class A underwater action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two blades perform extremely well underwater, giving off plenty of vibrations that no pike can pass up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, these spinners are quite heavy (1.5 ounces), which makes them perfect for fishing in deeper water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also allows you to retrieve the lure extremely slowly and close to the bottom, without sacrificing any spinning action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01MRPIO4I\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B01MRPIO4I&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=strikeandcatc-20&amp;linkId=a8701239202f53c32c6c322963a34146\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Take a closer look at the mighty Mepp&rsquo;s Musky Double Blade Flashabou on Amazon here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Best Lure Colors for Murky Water Pike Fishing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what types of lures to use, let&rsquo;s talk a little about the colors you should be choosing. I didn&rsquo;t merely want to base this section on my personal experience, so I went ahead and conducted an online survey asking 100 northern pike anglers in the US and Canada for their lure color preferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s the result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>White<\/strong><\/td><td>70%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Green\/<br>Chartreuse<\/strong><\/td><td>20%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Orange<\/strong><\/td><td>10%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Funnily enough, these are the exact colors I myself prefer for my dark water pike fishing, which shows that certain colors really are better for pike fishing than others! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can go for lures that are fluorescent (bright, vivid colors giving off visible light) or have normal white, green\/chartreuse, or orange colors; both have the power to improve your catch rate substantially! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, these bright colors will be more visible than darker colors in murky water, which is an advantage in itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, colors like white and glittering chartreuse can reflect light. And so, if the water is not completely stained, lures of these colors take advantage of the little amount of day- or sunlight that penetrates the water, becoming even more visible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not use the visibility aspect if it&rsquo;s available as well, right? Because this will further increase your chance of hooking up, that much is for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that 90% of the predator anglers I surveyed confirm this by having chosen white and green\/chartreuse as their absolute favorite colors for pike fishing in murky water speaks for itself! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Murky Water or Clear Water Better for Pike Fishing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a much-debated question in various forums and Facebook groups that I see all the time and if you ask me, I&rsquo;d always prefer fishing in dark or murky water when it comes to pike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated above, pike tend to actually <a aria-label=\"move and hunt more actively in stained water (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/j.1365-2400.2008.00635.x?casa_token=JGF9V5Ten0oAAAAA%3A6hjWnCDlOmOr5IstdCUnP4j7Kf9TgNrQVPOX95c8bhCwW4Gxvi_MZSSVwKEDzg836RbzMY2idsyFO-WM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">move and hunt more actively in stained water<\/a>, which means that the chance of getting bites is actually quite good in such water conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This theory is also supported by the fact that murkier water with low visibility provides more cover for predators. They don&rsquo;t have to stay hidden in one place but can instead roam around freely, and basically undetected, in the entire body of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, they will move, hunt, and feed with much more confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a bonus, they won&rsquo;t spook as easily when you fish for them from a boat, which is something I&rsquo;ve observed many times in clear water conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>RELATED ARTICLE: Of course, some lakes and rivers will always have very clear water and high visibility. <a href=\"https:\/\/strikeandcatch.com\/pike-fishing-in-clear-water\/\" class=\"ek-link\">If you&rsquo;re fishing for pike in clear water conditions, make sure to also check out this article I wrote<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential Gear Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for solid and reliable pike fishing equipment, these tips might be useful for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following tackle is of top quality and sells at a very reasonable price on Amazon: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rod: <a aria-label=\"7' MH St. Croix Premier Casting Rod\n (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Croix-Premier-6-6ft-Casting-Rod\/dp\/B000BNYB74?th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=strikeandcatc-20&amp;linkId=5921310378546eed9b019b49201183ce&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">7&prime; MH St. Croix Premier Casting Rod<\/a> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A versatile and beautifully made medium-heavy 7&prime; baitcasting rod that&rsquo;s perfect for bigger predators.
