Bedding Fish

I was out taking a look around yesterday, and found lots and lots of bedding
fish. Even some areas where the beds have already been abandoned.
Amazingly, long casts with a wacky stick worm on top of bedding fish
resulted in some good hookups. While there are plenty of times when another
bait will catch a lot more fish I am beginning to think that aren't many
times when that rig won't catch them. I know where I'll be fishing today.

Last spring I had luck throwing a trout colored 4" Senko at beds on a wacky
rig. Many other presentations failed, but when I put that wacky rig out
there, the bass came running.

Is bed fishing good for our sport...I don't think so, I don't do it but
that's just me.

Personally, I think that as long as the fish is caught, photo'd and
immediately released, it doesn't harm a thing.

When it gets fuzzy is when bedding bass are caught under tournament
conditions. I've read studies that say it can harm a fishery, leaving
unprotected nests. By the same token, I've read studies that claim it
doesn't hurt a fishery in the long run. I just wish I could put my fingers
on both studies.......
