Thanks everyone for the advice.  Only thing I can add is personal experience of shore fishing a rocky point at dusk that had been thrashed by wind all day.  Water was very stained, but the Waldos were crushing baitfish in 2-4' of water.  The best performing lure was a white skirted spinnerbait with silver blade, kept no deeper than 1' during the retrieve (solves the snag issue as well).  Had fun for about 30 mintues, and then the frenzy turned off like a switch.
