You may have ever wondered what the best bait is to fish for bass from the bank. It is true that the easiest bait to throw will yield the highest bite percentage. Don't lug around ten rods. Reduce your rod count to one or two. This will give more time to casting your bait and working on it.
Finesse swimbaits
Finesse swimbaits make a great choice if you are looking for a simple lure to catch bass. These baits can be used in a few easy steps. To fish with these lures, simply throw them out in a shallow area and retrieve them slowly along the bottom. Variable cadence can increase your chances of success. In 45-55 degree water, you'll want to use a slow retrieve and make sure the bait stays in contact with the bottom.
Man-made hump
In my 25 years of experience, I have introduced many people to the joys of nighttime fishing. To attract big bass, I fish an offshore Hump. Humps are typically more productive for nighttime bass fishing than points, as they draw bass from a wide area. In addition, I find them to be more visually appealing than points. Here's how you fish the man-made Hump.
Man-made hump attracts bass
There are many advantages to fishing from the bank for bass. For instance, you can be stealthy, while fishing for bass. 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
Pre-spawn can be found at humps, which are ideal spots to find big bass. These humps can be described as underwater islands or high points that have been elevated above the water's 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. The result is a better feeding experience for bass.
Time of year for fishing from the bank
The best time of year to fish for bass from the bank is during the spring and fall when bass migrate into the shallow 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. If you know the right places to look, these are the best times to catch bass.
Favorite lures that catch bass
You should consider certain scenarios when choosing a lure to catch bass on 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 do I properly clean my fishing gear?
There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some are very simple while others require advanced techniques. Use soap and water is the most popular method. You should always ensure you rinse the item thoroughly after washing it. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. Untreated, this can cause bad smells and worse infections. To prevent this, dry the items completely before storing. Remember to not touch the item's surface while cleaning. You risk spreading germs to objects if you touch them.
Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. Some things should not be used, though, as they may cause damage to your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Dishwashing liquids that are specifically designed for cleaning fish should be used only. Dishwashing liquids have enzymes and chemical that help to break down organic material such as scales. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. But, if staining is a concern, you might consider using a stain eliminator. Oils and fats on the surface of gear are often responsible for staining. Applying stain removers directly on the area from which the oil or fat has come is a good way to remove it without causing any damage to the underlying material.
The local home improvement center will carry many choices for cleaners for your fishing gear. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some are made to remove small amounts of grease; others can handle larger quantities. You can pick the one that is most suitable for you.
