Bass fishing from the bank is a great way to catch fish. The best bait will have the highest bite rate. 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 you to spend more time casting and working 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. Vary the speed of your retrieve in order to maximize your chances for success. Slow retrieves are best in 45 to 55 degree water. The bait should contact the bottom.
Man-made hump
Over the course of my 25-years in this industry, I have introduced many clients to nighttime bass fishing. An offshore hump is a technique I use to attract large bass. Points are less productive than humps for nighttime bass fishing because they draw in bass from a larger area. Additionally, I find them more visually appealing to me than points. Here's how to catch the man-made whale hump.
Man-made hump attracts basse
There are many advantages to fishing from the bank for bass. While fishing for bass you can also be 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've reached the structure, cast a long lure, such as a bottom-bumping crawdad imitator, and use your reel handle to move the lure in a way that mimics the crawling action of a crayfish.
Man-made hump creates man-made hump
The pre-spawn is when humps can be found in the ideal places to catch a large bass. These humps could be underwater islands, or high spots that have been raised higher than the surface of 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. Bass will enjoy a more efficient and enjoyable feeding experience.
When is the best time to fish from a 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 allows anglers not to have to line up boats and keep the fish away. You can walk along the shore in these months to see if there are schools of bait fish hidden behind canals. If you know where to look, you can catch many bass during these seasons.
Favorite lures for catching Bass
Consider the following scenarios when selecting a lure to catch bass at the bank. For instance, a soft plastic lure made of weedless paddle tail soft material, such as the Fiiish Minnow can be fished in multiple sizes. You can also use a hard metal lure for windy days.

How do I clean fishing gear?
There are many options when it comes to cleaning your fishing equipment. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. You can use soap and warm water. Always rinse your item after washing it. If the item isn't washed thoroughly enough, dirt and bacteria could remain, leading to infection. If this happens, it can lead to bad odors and even more serious infections. To prevent this, dry the items completely before storing. Another thing that you should keep in mind when doing any type of cleaning is to avoid touching the surface of the item. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. Certain things are best avoided as they can cause damage to your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Only use dishwashing products that are made specifically to clean fish. Dishwashing detergents are formulated with enzymes and other chemicals to help dissolve organic materials like blood, slime, scales, and slime. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. A stain remover is recommended if you have concerns about stain removal. Oils and fats can cause stains. Applying stain removal products directly to areas where the oil and fat are located will remove the stain while not damaging the underlying materials.
