I like fishing beds but just posting up on one fish can be boring at times if they’re small-I’d rather cover water over spots I know they’re bedding on. [Linked Image]
Caught this 8+lber years ago doing just that( with some coaching from some of TFF’s finest)-I thought it was a carp at first as the water clarity was murky.

In CA I've seen bass bedding down in 15' of water. The water clarity and cover plays a big role in this.

My deepest sight fish was 22' of water on Amistad by the black brush ramp. Very hard to land a bait on a bed that far down.

Over half my 10+ are from sight fishing including the biggest. Up until livescope, it truly was the best way to catch a 10+. Still is at times. I think it's like livescope. You can choose to hunt 10+, or spend hours on dinks. I'll troll for 8+ hours on high if conditions are ideal. I like sight fishing cause it shows you what a lake really has in it.

My son and I used him as a guide years ago. Worse experience we ever had but it was not for sight fishing.
