Man-made hump
In my 25 year career, I have introduced numerous clients to nighttime bass fishermanship. An offshore hump is a technique I use to attract large bass. As they draw bass from large areas, humps are usually more productive for nighttime fishing than points. Additionally, I find them more visually appealing to me than points. Here's how you fish the man-made Hump.
Man-made bass attracted by hump
Fishing from the bank for bass has many benefits. While fishing for bass you can also be stealthy. You can use a trolling motor to approach a structure, drifting within casting distance if the wind is strong enough. 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.

A humps is the best place to spot a large bass during the pre-spawn. These humps could be underwater islands, or high spots that have been raised higher than the surface of water. On topo maps, look out for concentric circles that signify a depression at bottom and rise above it. Bass can use the humps to serve as dinner plates. They will sit on one side of down-current and then ambush the prey as it washes across it. The result is a more efficient feeding experience for bass.
When is the best time to fish from a bank?
The best time to fish for bass at the bank is in the spring and fall, when the bass migrate into shallow water close to the shore. Bank fishing allows anglers not to have to line up boats and keep the fish away. You can also walk along beaches to search out bait fish in the back of canals. If you know where to look, you can catch many bass during these seasons.
Favorite lures that catch bass
It is important to consider the specific circumstances when choosing a lure for bass fishing on 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. A hard metal lure is also appropriate for windy days, and a shallow diving plug works well when you encounter snags.

How to Cast a Fishing Rod Perfectly
First, you need to know how to cast a fishing line. 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. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
