Major algae boom here on Lake Simcoe. Visibility is around 4 ft.
What would you use?
I tried a blade bait for a while with no success.
Got a couple on a spinner bait.

I throw a tube. We get bad blue green algae blooms here every summer now. I stick with mostly bottom baits. I would think a chatterbait would work well.
Knowing my preferences, you'd be betting $ that I'd use a Shakyhead with a Zoom lizard.
Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.
I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
Fish get tight to cover in algae blooms in my experience. Not so much what you throw as it is where you throw it. They seem to like vertical cover best. Around here that’s usually docks, or the best (greenest, crispiest) vegetation you can find. Not sure how that might apply to Simcoe though.

I like to throw a black/blue jig around the docks and structure. Sometimes in the past, I have tried a white jig.
Go shallow with chatterbait
