How Fish Sense You: The Power of the Lateral Line

Have you ever felt like the fish you’re targeting know you’re there before you even make a cast? It’s not just in your head—it’s science. Fish have a unique sensory system called the lateral line, and it’s their ultimate superpower.

In my latest video, I break it all down:

  • How the lateral line works.
  • Why it’s so important for fish survival.
  • What you might be doing that’s unintentionally scaring fish away.

Want to start catching more fish by understanding how they think and sense the world around them? Watch the full video above!

Let me know what you think in the comments, and if you have questions, I’m here to help!

Tight Lines!

Since snook have adapted to murky conditions, are reds, trout, striped bass, sheepshead and flounder as sensitive? How far would you cast past them not to spook them?

great info. Did you bow to that snook, like a tarpon, when he jumped? Should that technique be used for fish other than tarpon?
