** UNDERWATER Bass Fishing ** Spring Fishing Tips and Spawning Bass!

Come underwater and watch bass behavior for yourself! Forget what you think you know and watch what's actually happening below the surface! From how fish interact with lures, to what triggers a bite, there is so much to gain from studying underwater footage. 

Today's underwater footage is geared toward the spawn. Some of these fish were actively defending spawning areas while others were just aggressively feeding on camera. Notice the different lures and colors, but pay special attention to what movements trigger each fish to bite. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we used throughout the video. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
