You may have ever wondered what the best bait is to fish for bass from the bank. The truth is, the easiest bait to throw will produce the best bite percentage. This is why you shouldn't have ten rods. Keep your rod count at two or one. This will give you more time to spend casting and working your bait.
Finesse swimbaits
Finesse swimbaits, which are a much simpler option for bass lures, are a good choice. These baits take only a few steps and are very easy to use. To fish with these lures, simply throw them out in a shallow area and retrieve them slowly along the bottom. You can vary the speed of your retrieve to increase your chances of 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
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. They are also more visually appealing than point fish. Here are some tips for fishing the man-made "hump".
Bass attracted to man-made hump
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 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
During the pre-spawn, a humps are the perfect places to find a big bass. These humps are underwater islands or high places that have been raised above water surface. 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. It makes for a more efficient experience for bass.
What time of the year can you 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 is a great way to fish without having to line up a boat or keep a safe distance from the fish. You can also walk along shores to find bait fish schools in the backwaters of canals during these seasons. These seasons are great for bass fishing if you know how to spot them.
Favorite lures for catching 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 can be used for windy days. If you encounter snags, a shallow diving plug will work well.
