I might use crankbaits that block the hooks from getting snagged. I make most of my lures to work like this because the best places to fish are the thick structure you are talking about. If the hooks of the crankbait run under it usually the top of the lure will hit the structure and you'll make it through.
I love fishing crankbaits in structure. Plastics work well too, but I wouldn't be shy about using crankbaits. The only problem is that no one who buys lures wants to fish crankbaits in structure. If you're just the average Joe it would cost you a fortune because you would lose too many lures. I make my own crankbaits with some very simple tools that most anyone has around the house. My lures are basically free minus the hooks, so I don't mind chuck them into structure.
I highly recommend trying crankbaits in structure. Once you get some practice you learn how lose fewer lures.
In that murky water, try spraying you lures with w-40. It often will attract fish.
