Cull1508 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Hey, what are some of your favorite ways to bed fish, or "sight fish". Never really sight fished the spawn, I just fished it, im gonna try and fish the spawn hard this year using the sight fishing technique and need to hear some ways to do it. Quote
Jaiden Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 A bait that stays over the bed for a long time. A weightless senko or drop shot. I adjust the lenght of the tag end on the drop shot until I know my lure is right in front of the bed fish's face. Patience is key. It might take many casts to catch one fish. A good, quick release is nice for once you catch one. 1 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 22, 2013 Super User Posted February 22, 2013 I like to throw weightless, wacky lizards! And Senkos. I thought to throw lizards last spawn and man did the bass react! Quote
Doubled Over Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 You might want to try some bluegill imitations as well. Bass hate bluegills in and around their bed during spawn because they are known to eat the eggs. Quote
gripnrip Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I like a tube style bait or small creature bait. Usually in white or pearl with a some black fleck in them. I texas rig it and put a red glass bead in between the bait and a bullet tungsten weight. Most of the water I fish is stained to murky. But it works! Quote
BasskingKeith Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 A small, usually pretty visible bait. I don't think color is much of an issue for the bass, you just want to be able to see the bait when a fish noses up to it. Smaller sizes for the reason that sometimes the bass will only try to move the bait by picking it up by the tail.. -so you want to increase your odds of the part being picked up has a hook in it.

bman310 Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I love using 5" Senkos and Fat Ika's during the spawn, but I've also had great luck with a dropshot too, especially when u r able to sight fish. -b Quote

Drop shot works wonders for bedding fish as its in the strike zone longer. I use lizards and jigs or whatever works lol LakeForkGuy has an awesome youtube video on bedding bass, he makes into a science almost. Quote
