Let's head underwater to watch spawning bass eat bluegill swimbaits, jigs, and a variety of finesse baits. We're watching their behavior and learning how to adapt bait selection and equipment to catch bigger bed fish. If you're fishing during the spawn but don't consider yourself an "excellent bed fisherman", this video is for you!

Most anglers think of a big white creature bait and shallow water when its time to go bed fishing. The reality is sight fishing season is as diverse as any other time of year. There are a variety of baits for various conditions, sizes of fish, and water clarities. Knowing when to use each bait, how to lure strikes, and when to set the hook, is going to make you a much more efficient bed fisherman.

Below is a breakdown of the baits and equipment discussed in the video as well as some key color recommendations that break the norm. Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone, throw some different baits, and catch a new personal best this Spring!

Fishing the spawn is all about boat positioning. Our Talons make a huge difference! The advantage of Talons over a trolling motor is that the prop is never turning but you're still able to sit perfectly still. If you've considered Shallow Water Anchors give Talons a look.
