You've probably been wondering what the best bait for bass fishing is. You will get the best bite percentage if you throw the easiest bait. And you don't want to slouch down the bank with ten rods rigged up. Your rod count should be kept to two, or even one. This will allow for more time to cast and work your bait.
Finesse swimbaits
These swimbaits can be used to lure bass fish with a simpler lure. These baits are easy to use, and just require a few simple steps to get started. Simply throw the lures in a shallow area, and then slowly retrieve them along the bottom. Try changing the pace of your retrieve to maximize your success. You will need to slow down your retrieve and ensure that the bait is in contact with water between 45-55 degrees.
Man-made hump
Over the course of my 25-years in this industry, I have introduced many clients to nighttime bass fishing. Fishing an offshore hump is one of my favorite techniques to catch big bass. Points are not as productive as hump fishing at night. Humps draw bass from all over the area. Humps are visually more appealing than points. Here's how you fish the man-made Hump.
Man-made Hump attracted bass
You have many benefits when fishing for bass from the bank. You can fish for bass from the bank by being stealthy. A trolling motor can be used to approach a structure. If the wind is strong enough you can drift within casting distance. Once you have reached the structure, cast your long lure (such as a bottom-bumping crab imitator) and move the lure with your reel handle in a manner that simulates crawling action.
Man-made hump creates man-made hump
The perfect place to find a big bass is a humps during pre-spawn. These humps are actually underwater islands or high spots that have been raised above the surface of the water. Topo maps will show you where to look for concentric circles. These are the areas that mark a depression at its bottom and a rise above. Bass can use the humps as dinner plates, sitting on one side of the down-current side and ambush their prey as it washes over it. It makes for a more efficient experience for bass.
Time of year to fish from the bank
When bass migrate to shallower waters near shore, spring and autumn are the best times of the year to fish from the bank for them. Bank fishing allows anglers the freedom to fish from a boat without having to put effort into lining it up and keeping the fish at a safe distance. 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 that catch bass
Consider the following scenarios when selecting a lure to catch bass at the bank. A weedless soft plastic lure with paddle tail, such as a Fiiish Minnow or a Fiiish Minnow, works well on rough ground. It can also be fished in different sizes. For windy days, a hard metal lure works well. A shallow diving plug is great for when you come across snags.
