I'm new to the site, but I have been fishing since I was ten years old. I've had my fair share of fishing the banks. You really should try and move around as much as possible. I walk the bank about every ten feet and cast along the bank about ten to fifteen times throwing your lure out away from the bank about every foot and a half. Depending on the time of day and weather conditions, I'll throw a spinnerbait or lure of that nature to cover more ground. If the fish are slow or not biting as much, try a soft plastic. my personal favorite for plastic worms are taquila sunrise 10" or a black,red,yellow swirl tiki worm.
If bank space is limited due to heavy cover, try and find a good deal on a used bass buddy or something of that nature.
I hope this helps you.
