If you're bass fishing from the bank, you've probably wondered what the best bait is for this type of catch. Truth is that the easiest bait you throw will result in the highest percentage of bites. It's not a good idea to have ten rods. Keep your rod count at two or one. This will give you more time for casting and working with your bait.
Finesse swimbaits
If you're looking to find a simple bait for bass fishing, finesse swimbaits might be the best choice. These baits can be used in a few easy steps. 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. To attract big bass, I fish an offshore Hump. Points are not as productive as hump fishing at night. Humps draw bass from all over the area. They are also more visually appealing than point fish. Here are the steps to fishing for man-made hump.
Man-made hump attracts bass
There are many advantages to fishing from the bank for bass. Fishing for bass can be done in stealth. 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 a long lure like a bottom-bumping Crawdad Imitator and then move the lure using your reel handle. This will mimic the crawling action that crayfish use.
Man-made hump creates man-made hump
A humps is the best place to spot a large bass during the pre-spawn. These humps are actually underwater islands or high spots that have been raised above the surface of the water. They can be identified on topo maps by searching for concentric rings that indicate a depression at one end and a rise at the other. Bass can use the bumps as dinner plates by sitting on one side, and ambushing their prey as the water flows over them. The result is a better feeding experience for bass.
The best time of year to fish at the bank
The best time of year to fish for bass from the bank is during the spring and fall when bass migrate into the shallow water near the shore. Bank fishing gives anglers an opportunity to fish without the need for a boat. You can walk along the shore in these months to see if there are schools of bait fish hidden behind canals. If you know the right places to look, these are the best times to catch bass.
Favorite lures that catch bass
It is important to consider the specific circumstances when choosing a lure for bass fishing on 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. A hard metal lure is also appropriate for windy days, and a shallow diving plug works well when you encounter snags.
