what is sight fishing?

[legends13]

I have been hearing and reading about people winning tournaments by sight fishing...I have also realized, as being new to tournament fishing, when I ask a question, I am finding out that I am doing a lot of those things that are described, but my understanding of the language of fishing is very basic...and it is taking me awhile to learn the terminology...could someone explain to me what they mean when they say he was "SIGHT FISHING"...thank you for humoring this good ole boy dummy...

no problem, I've found this site offers alot of helpful articles just like that, just drag your mouse to the top where it says 'fishing articles'

also on the regular site the the forum the search works very well and is very helpful I've found.

Not to take anything away from here though, the search works great here as well.

Using your eyes to locate a fish(Usually referring to a fish on a bed, but not always), and then attempting to catch it.
