How To Catch Fish In Clear Water
Fishing clear water can be intimidating! The fish see you coming and often all you'll see are their tails swimming away. Have you wondered how to catch these fish? Is there a certain time they bite, or perhaps it requires a special lure? Its not as hard as you think! You can catch these fish and today we're going to show you exactly how to do it.
If you want to catch clear water fish consistently there are 4 variables to consider. You'll need to learn to use the sun's position to your advantage. You're going to want to make longer casts than normal, and often with lighter line. You'll need to be cognizant of the sound your trolling motor makes, and finally you need to locate the "color line" on your lake.
While clear water fishing can be intimidating it also offers some of the most rewarding angling any fisherman can experience. Seeing fish interact with your lures is fascinating, and watching them strike your baits is something you'll never forget. When it comes to lures, we break them into 3 categories. All of the baits discussed in the video are listed below. We've included links to each bait, including recommended colors for clear water applications. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
