• What is Sight Fishing?

Sight fishing is a style of fishing where anglers visually spot fish and then cast lures or bait to them. This is different from most other forms of fishing where anglers fish in general areas that tend to hold fish and throw baits that attract fish by vibration, sight, and smell. Sight fishing relies on being able to see the fish, so it is commonly done in shallow and/or clear water.
