This is a awesome Technique for spawning bass on overcast days when you cannot see the beds clearly. Cast parallel to the bank in 2-6 foot of water when you know there is bed fish present. Keep your rod tip down and inch it slowly along the bottom, pausing frequently for seconds at a time. Even though you cannot see the nest like you would be able to do on a sunny day, chances are you are going to drag it over a nest where aggressive males are close by. You can get lucky and nab a female if she is locked or hungry too. Work the inside of points on spawning banks along towards the backs of coves during the spring in water temps preferably above 60 degrees and you know they are spawning or getting close. On this day when the sun did peak out for a few minutes I took the time to look to see if I could find bedding fish, which I did. so then i checked the water temp, so wherever I went on the lake with similar water temp and banks, I just figured bass were spawning there too. The patterned worked perfect and i was able to hook and land 40 + fish in a short amount of time. Give it a try on your local lake. Smaller worms in the 4" range seems to work best but that all depends on your lake..

you wouldnt even need a hatcam i have found cheap tripods for around 10 bucks you could just stand up in the bottom of your boat or on the back deck i really like your fishing vids and it really would be nice to see plus you could really rack up subbers that way : )
