You've probably been wondering what the best bait for bass fishing is. It is true that the easiest bait to throw will yield the highest bite percentage. You don't want to be a slouch on the bank with ten rods. Reduce your rod count to one or two. 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 simple to use and require only a few steps to get started. You can simply fish with these lures by placing them in a shallow location and slowly retrieving them from the bottom. Vary the speed of your retrieve in order to maximize your chances for success. Use a slow retrieve when retrieving bait in water temperatures between 45 and 55 degrees.
Man-made hump
In my 25 year career, I have introduced numerous clients to nighttime bass fishermanship. A method I use to attract big bass fishing is the offshore hump. Because they attract bass from a wider area, humps are more productive at nighttime bass fishing than point fisherman. Humps are visually more appealing than points. Here are some tips for fishing the man-made "hump".
Man-made bass attracted by hump
Fishing for bass from the bank has many advantages. When fishing for bass, you can be stealthy. If the wind is strong enough to allow trolling motors to drift close to a structure, they can be used. 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
Pre-spawn can be found at humps, which are ideal spots to find big bass. 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. The humps can be used by bass to eat their prey, allowing them to sit on the side with the lowest current and ambush it as it washes above. It makes for a more efficient experience for bass.
Time of year to fish from the bank
The best season to fish for bass on the bank is spring and autumn, when bass migrate to shallower water near the shore. 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 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 for catching Bass
Consider the following scenarios when selecting a lure to catch bass at the bank. A weedless paddle tail soft-plastic lure like the Fiiish Minnow is suitable for rough terrain and can be fished at different sizes. For windy days, a hard metal lure works well. A shallow diving plug is great for when you come across snags.

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. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to 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. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good hand-eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders are made to securely hold the rod while maintaining its upright position. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. Wait for the right time to strike, then work hard to catch the fish.
