Underwater Sight Fishing – How To Catch More Fish!

Want to catch more fish? Come underwater and watch how these fish interact with our lures around their spawning beds! The fish are biting a jig, dropshot, texas rig, ned rig, and a variety of swimbaits! Whether you’re a beginner or advanced angler, pay close attention to the details about how to avoid short strikes and false bites if you want to become a better angler overnight.

During the spawn, bass are less motivated to feed than other periods. If you haven’t spent much time sight fishing start with this recent Sight Fishing Video to help you avoid common mistakes: https://youtu.be/3pJsNGdv9QM

Because bass are focused on spawning rather than feeding their habits change. They become more protective and aggressive but rarely fully engulf your lure. Knowing how to adapt color, size, and retrieve goes a long way to catching more fish. This is the time of year to catch a new personal best so pay close attention to the details in this video and apply them the next time you’re at the lake.

Below is a breakdown of all the baits (in order of appearance) used in the video. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and lure descriptions.

Amazing Underwater Footage!! Crazy Bass Strikes on Creature Baits!!


Let’s head underwater and watch how bass react to some of our favorite baits! In today’s underwater video we’ve Texas-Rigged some of the most popular creature baits on the market and are presenting them to largemouth and smallmouth bass. Do you ever wonder what your baits look like underwater? Have you wondered what movements get the most bites? Come underwater with us and find out!

We focused on 5 key creature baits. These baits have proven themselves over and over, all filling different niches in our fishing. Pay attention to the subtle details between them as you decide which might be the best for your fishing needs. A couple immediate standouts include Big Bite’s ability to float vertically above the grass and the Keitech’s incredible swim at slow speeds. If you look closely you’ll notice subtle details in each offering.

Below is a breakdown of all the baits in the video. We included the terminal tackle used as well as rods and reels we recommend for this technique.

How Fish React To Different Jigs!!! Underwater Bite Footage!!


The strikes are violent! We headed underwater with a variety of jigs to see how different bass would react. Largemouth and Smallmouth both aggressively attack a jig with tenacity rarely seen with other lures. Depending on how you rig it, a jig can imitate a crawdad, a bluegill, or a variety of other prey species. Watch how these different fish attack everything from a large pitchin’ jig down to the smallest of finesse football jigs.
Do you fish a jig? Some anglers love them, others struggle to find consistent success. After watching how these fish react, its clear that a jig should have a permanent place in your arsenal! Two keys to a jig’s effectiveness are its adaptability and its weedless characteristics. With a handful of different head designs a jig can be adapted virtually any circumstance.
Pay close attention to which jigs and trailers these fish were most aggressive with. Also pay attention to which retrieves/hops triggered the most aggressive bites. Below is a breakdown of all the baits and trailers used in the video (In order of appearance), along with color recommendations for each.
