If you're bass fishing from the bank, you've probably wondered what the best bait is for this type of catch. The truth is, the easiest bait to throw will produce the best bite percentage. You don't want to be a slouch on the bank with ten rods. Instead, keep your rod count to two or even one. This will allow for more time to cast and work your bait.
Finesse swimbaits
If you're looking for a more simple bass lure, finesse swimbaits are an excellent choice. These baits take only a few steps and are very easy to use. These lures can be tossed out in shallow areas and retrieved slowly along the bottom to fish. Try changing the pace of your retrieve to maximize your 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. To attract big bass, I fish an offshore Hump. 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's how to fish the man-made hump.
Man-made hump attracts bass
You have many benefits when fishing for bass from the bank. While fishing for bass you can also be stealthy. If the wind is strong enough, you can use a trolling engine to approach structures. Once you reach the structure, cast a lure such as a bottom-bumping crawling crawdad imitation and then use your reel handle for movement of the lure to mimic the crawling action a crayfish.
Man-made hump creates man-made hump
The perfect place to find a big bass is a humps during pre-spawn. These humps can be described as underwater islands or high points that have been elevated above the water's surface. 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 humps as dinner plates, sitting on one side of the down-current side and ambush their prey as it washes over it. 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 also walk along beaches to search out bait fish in the back of canals. These seasons are great for bass fishing if you know how to spot them.
Favorite lures that catch bass
There are specific situations that you need to consider when choosing a lure that will catch bass on the banks. A weedless paddle tail soft-plastic lure like the Fiiish Minnow is suitable for rough terrain and can be fished at different sizes. If you are dealing with snags, a hard-metal lure is a good choice.

How To
Why should you use a spinning rod?
The spinning rod is useful when you need to throw your lure in the water and not have to get out of the boat. If you don’t want take too much time returning to your boat after each cast, this is the best choice. A spinning rod will allow you to cast from any position, while maintaining control over your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. You hold the rod with your fingers and grip the shaft. The hook's tip can be attached to the rod's butt section. Finally, the reel seat holds your line onto the reel. There are many different types of rods available today. Some rods can only be used for trolling and casting. Others are designed to be used for various purposes, including fly fishing, spin fishing, bait fishing, etc.
The type of fish you intend to catch will determine the type of rod that you choose. If you want to target large predatory species, such as bass and pike, then you will need a heavier-duty rod. For smaller species, like salmon and trout, a lighter-weight rod might be better. You can even buy multiple rod sizes depending on the size of the fish you want to catch.
Spinning Rods aren't limited to freshwater fisherman. They are commonly used for saltwater fishing too. Saltwater spinning reels are typically heavier than freshwater rods. This is because saltwater requires stronger materials to withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners often have a longer rod but a smaller diameter. This allows them cast farther distances. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. Saltwater spinning rods are not like freshwater ones. Instead, one must be purchased separately. They are also quite costly. A spinning rod is worth your consideration if you enjoy catching larger fish.
Spin fishing is a type of angling that uses a spinning rod to throw a weighted lure into water. When the lure swims through the water, it spins around the weighted center point. This causes the lure to move erratically in the water, making it difficult for fish to detect the lure. Fish may also mistakenly eat the lure for food, and begin to feed on it. It will then attract more fish to the lure. The fisherman can then reel in the line attached to the lure. Once the lure has been retrieved, he can repeat this process until the desired number of fish has been caught.
