Power fishing is a technique used in bass fishing that involves using larger and heavier lures to cover water quickly and find active fish. The goal of power fishing is to be efficient and locate the best fishing spots on the lake in the shortest amount of time. By using big baits, such as larger profile lures, you can cast farther and work the lure deeper or speed up and work the lure shallower without it blowing out. These big profile baits stand out and attract the largest and most aggressive fish, whether it be bass, walleye, panfish, or muskie.
In the context of the videos provided, power fishing is mentioned in relation to different fishing techniques. For example, Marty Glorvigen and Power Fishing by Wired2Fish talk about using a 24-volt to 36-volt bow mount trolling motor for power fishing, as running at high power is demanding on batteries. They also mention the use of digital linear onboard chargers for fast and precise recharging while protecting and extending battery life.
Aaron Martens in Power Finesse Fishing with Aaron Martens by The Bass University discusses different ways of power finesse fishing, including shallow water power finesse and deep water power finesse. He explains how he fishes in shallow water using a drop shot or shake head technique, catching fish in as little as eight inches of water. He refers to power finesse fishing as a more effective and quicker way of putting fish in the boat.
In Power Fishing Walleye With Jigging Raps by Wired2Fish, the term power fishing is used in the context of walleye fishing. They mention using jigging raps and electronics to run around and hit as many spots as possible, covering a lot of water quickly. The focus is on finding active walleye and moving on if they don't bite.
Based on these video contexts, power fishing seems to be a versatile and efficient technique that can be applied to different fishing scenarios and species. It involves using larger and heavier lures, covering water quickly, and targeting active fish.
