I read or saw some info
released last year on sight fishing (aka bed fishing) and how there was
currently no proof that it affected overall bass numbers when

I wrote an article for Outdoor Frontiers with my thoughts on bed fishing. I
don't think it affects bass reproduction - here in the south, especially. But
I don't do it much - most of the lakes I fish are too stained, and I don't have
the patience.
