Howdy Tim and welcome to our fishing family! I do the majority of my fishing from the bank and the baits I've found to be effective from there are 3/8oz and 1/2oz chatterbaits, Zoom Ol' Monsters, wacky and Texas rigged senko style soft plastics, Rage Swimmers, Rage Bugs, Rage Craws, 3/8oz and 1/2oz swim jigs and occasionally lipless crankbaits. I've had near success with hollow body frogs, so I'm gonna keep throwing them too til it works successfully. Fish all of them as parallel to the bank as you can, targeting cover as close as you can get it in there without getting snagged, on the first cast then fancast a couple feet apart until you get to the side of the bank opposite of where you started. Walk the bank to where your at the spot of where your previous casts along the bank were landing and repeat the process. Do that with each bait you choose until you find what the fish want. Good luck out there, I'm still learning too. ?
