What's your average bank fishing trip like? Some guys talk about 50 fish days and more but I'm assuming this is mainly from a boat with electronics and access to the whole lake. When you fish from the bank, how many do you usually catch and how long are you fishing for? Also maybe describe the body of water your fishing or better yet post some pics showing the spots you fish.
For me, I usually get to the lake just before sunrise and fish for about 2 hours or so and I get about 2-3 fish per trip. I feel like I'd do better if there was more fishable shoreline. It's a 50 acre lake with an average depth of about 5 feet and lots of thick weeds all the way around. The only spots to fish are the dam (when there isn't water flowing over it which isn't often), 2 small areas along the bank of the creek below the dam, the boat ramp, a small bridge over a lane of water between 2 weed lines, and another small pond which won't be accessible once spring/summer hit and all the vegetation grows in.
