You may have ever wondered what the best bait is to fish for bass from the bank. Truth is that the easiest bait you throw will result in the highest percentage of bites. Don't lug around ten rods. Instead, keep your rod count to two or even one. This will give more time to casting your bait and working on it.
Finesse swimbaits
Finesse swimbaits make a great choice if you are looking for a simple lure to catch bass. These baits require very little effort and are extremely easy to use. You can fish with these lures by simply throwing them in a shallow spot and slowly retrieving them along the bottom. Try changing the pace of your retrieve to maximize your success. In 45-55 degree water, you'll want to use a slow retrieve and make sure the bait stays in contact with the bottom.
Man-made hump
In my 25-year career, I have introduced countless clients to the pleasures of nighttime bass fishing. One technique that I use to attract big bass is fishing an offshore hump. Humps are typically more productive for nighttime bass fishing than points, as they draw bass from a wide area. Additionally, I find them more visually appealing to me than points. Here's how you fish the man-made Hump.
Man-made hump attracts basse
There are many advantages to fishing from the bank for bass. When fishing for bass, you can be stealthy. If the wind is strong enough, you can use a trolling engine to approach structures. Once you've reached the structure with a long lure such as a bottom crawdad imitator or a trolling motor, use your reel handle and drag the lure in a manner that mimics a crawling crayfish.
Man-made hump creates man-made hump
The perfect place to find a big bass is a humps during pre-spawn. These humps may be called underwater islands or high areas that have been raised above sea level. You can find them on topo maps by looking for concentric circles that mark a depression on the bottom and a rise above it. Bass can use the humps for dinner plates. They sit on one end of the down-current side to ambush their prey while it washes around it. The result is a better feeding experience for bass.
What time of the year can you fish from the bank
Fishing for bass from the bank during spring and fall is the best time because bass migrate into shallower waters close to shore. Bank fishing gives anglers an opportunity to fish without the need for a boat. You can also walk along the shore during these seasons to search for bait fish schools hidden in the canals. If you know the right places to look, these are the best times to catch bass.
Favorite lures for catching bass
It is important to consider the specific circumstances when choosing a lure for bass fishing on the bank. For example, a weedless paddle tail soft plastic lure, like the Fiiish Minnow, is appropriate for rough ground and can be fished in multiple sizes. A hard metal lure can be used for windy days. If you encounter snags, a shallow diving plug will work well.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Perfectly
The first thing you must know when casting a fishing rod is to use your wrist to move the rod's handle smoothly towards the water. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. This will allow you secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders are designed to hold the rod firmly while keeping it upright. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
