How To Catch Fish In Clear Water - Finesse And Power Fishing Tricks!

Clear water fishing is easy! Sure, the fish can see you, but that doesn't mean they won't bite! The key to fishing clear water is focusing on the extremes. While most anglers tend to target clear water fish with micro baits and light line, you can also catch them on big baits!

Don't be intimidated by clear water. Once you learn to drop down in line size, or up in bait size, you won't have any trouble getting bit. The keys to consistency are long casts and slow movements on the boat. With a little practice, you'll be catching fish with ease, even when they see you. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the guys were fishing with today. We've included the exact sizes, colors, and rigging components for each, along with some of the big baits that Tim was talking about for fishing at the other end of the spectrum.  All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

TOP 5 Baits For POND FISHING And BANK FISHING (And How To Fish Them)

Are you a pond fisherman? Do you walk the bank, fish from a kayak, or raft? Maybe you fish from a Jon boat. If you fish small waters there are a few key baits that you need to know how to use. You can carry whole tackle boxes but at the end of the day, one of these 5 baits is how you'll catch most of your fish!

If you've spent any time fishing ponds you know they're just as diverse as larger lakes. Some are shallow, others are deep. Some have clear water while others are muddy. Despite all these differences, there are key baits that work in nearly every pond, every time. These are the baits we trust when we're showing up to a new pond and need to see what kind of fish live there.

Topwater Tricks! Toad Fishing For Summer Bass!

Summer is topwater time! The toad lives in the shadow of the hollow body frog but these baits have earned a place in every angler's arsenal. Come along as we take some of the most popular toads and swim test them so we can compare sound and action in the water!

When it comes to toads, no two baits are alike. Some baits are subtle as they skitter across the water, others splash and make a violent commotion. Different toads work in different conditions and on different lakes so its important to understand the differences between them. We try to always keep a subtle toad and an aggressive toad in the boat throughout the topwater season so we can quickly adapt to changing conditions. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video, as well as some of the gear we use to fish them. We've included our favorite colors for each, the hooks we use, and even a budget-minded angler who wants a great combo without breaking the bank. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
