    I am a bank fisherman, who is also on a budget. I want to start using the Texas rig more. I have 1 quality bait-casting combo, an Abu Garcia Black-Max Vengeance 6'9'' M. I currently have it spooled with 20 lbs braid. Again, I am a BANK FISHERMAN. My question is: Should I use a leader to help with stealth? Or just use my braid like I have been? Also, should I use a leader all the time for different lures like lipless crankbaits, or jigs? I feel that if I use one and get hung up, I will only lose my leader, and a lure instead of 30 plus feet of braid. I have some 8 lbs mono, and can't really afford to go purchase an entire roll of F.C. Plus I don't want to get away from my braid because I use the same combo for top water frogs, jigs, and everything else I decide to fish with. You guys here at BassResource.com have always pulled through and gave me quality advice, so please don't let me down now!

    Sorry, I know the best all around topic has been beaten to death, but some of the threads I've been reading go back to 2015, and there are newer rod releases that may not have been covered. I primarily fish from the shore, and sometimes walk a couple miles to spots. So I typically only take 1-2 rods, and a backpack with 2/3 3600 tackle boxes. I'm starting to invest more money into my gear, and I'm now looking for a rod around $300 to pair with a 7.3:1 Daiwa Tatula Type-R baitcaster. I'm envisioning that this rod will be throwing senkos (Texas/Wacky), plastic swimbaits (Keitech Swing Fact Impacts), chatterbaits, and spinnerbaits in the 7'1-7'3 MH range with a MF/F tip. I've been using a Powell Max 3D 714 MH/EF spinning rod for those applications, and my hook up ratio is probably around 60%. I love the sensitivity, but I think that tip is just a little too stiff for those techniques...and I'm tired of flipping a bale. Some of the rods I'm coming up with are the Dobyns Champion 734, Megabass Orochi Diablo 7'2 Spec-R, and Daiwa Tatula 7'2 H/F. I just want to nail this rod purchase with zero regrets, hence why I'm asking. Thank you in advance.

    A recent conversation with a friend left me pondering a question: What is the number of combos a bank angler should? Then how do you determine the combos? Do you take all finesse? Grab two stouter rods and something light? Yes you might have quest it, I am a bank angler and currently sitting on six combos. When I go I never take more than three with and frankly it's the same two every time. Typically don't fish a lot of cranks just because it's hard to find areas that are weed free or crank friendly. I'd like to hear what the community thinks. Please refer to the questions above.

    Hello Everyone, Ive been looking for this forum and searching for some decent fishing spots on Hillsborough River i can hit from shore. I dont have a boat and completely new to the area. I've been to Riverhills Park and tried fishing past the boardwalk but it was fairly crowded and not much area to cast in, and the area on the other side of the ramp has a ton of vegetation ( maybe a recomendation on lures for dealing with them?) I saw Lettuce Lake has some boat rentals for 25$ but mostly i hear from you guys to stay near 40th/56th st d**n and thats just not doable from there but maybe the fishing is ok that far north? If not Hillsborough river maybe you guys can share some other local fishing spots that would not require a boat? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Greetings! I'm a new member recently moved from Boston, MA to washington D.C. and I'm looking to gather information on lakes/pond in D.C, Maryland, and Virginia that I could fish Smallmouth/Largemouth bass from the shore and is too far from D.C. I'm also looking for convenient bait shops near me or fishing spots. Any places y'all can point me to would be greatly appreciated, I plan to go fishing fishing tomorrow or at least explore some of the surrounding area.

    Hello, Will be visiting Fort Myers this month, fishing from shore what places would you recommend and are open to public? Places that are kid friendly are a plus, I will also fish alone as well. Any help would be appreciated! Jason

    Hey guys, im fairly new, as in it's been years, to bass fishing. I do not own a boat, and will not be getting one in the near future, so I pretty much fish from the bank. I would like some recommendations on a good 2 rod/reel setup that I can easily walk the bank with. Thing I'm looking for include: - 1 spinning and 1 baitcasting setup - can be used for multiple bait types and presentations - rod action/strength/length - line type/strength for both reels - reel gear ratios and size for spinning reel In a perfect world, I know it would be better to have multiple setups. But since I'm walking, I like to keep it to 2, 1 spinning and 1 baitcasting. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

    This morning I was fishing at a large pond in Colorado. Although I couldn't get any bites there were bass splashing right up against the shoreline in the shallows. It kept happening in the same places and it would be sometimes be for 10 seconds straight splashing right against the bank as shallow as you could get. Does anyone know what they were doing? Maybe something to do with the spawn?

    Hey guys, Im going to try a good shore fishing lake. Lake Twitty in Monroe, Nc. A buddy recommend it. Where should I fish, or look for to find bass? What lures should I use? Thanks.

    17 year old angler here without a boat, canoe, or kayak. I'm looking for nice places to fish from the shore. Mainly looking for largemouth bass. If you don't want to publicy give away your spots shoot me a PM and I'll keep it secret!

    I really would like to get more fishing in this season. But I need help finding the better spots. Are there any good spots I can fish from the bank? I've tried Grafton Lakes before, and it was ok. I'd like to try some spots with less or no boat activity. I prefer to stay in the Capital District area, mainly Rensselaer, Albany, Schenectady, and maybe Saratoga Counties. Where should I be checking? I'm up for all kinds of fishing: BASS, trout, panfish, catfish, etc. Thx,

    Caught my personal best this weekend fishing from a dock on a small pond at our deer lease in Centerville, Tx. We didn't have a scale but compared it to pics and videos online and we estimate 7-8 pounds. Caught on a 1/2 oz. Booyah spinnerbait during light rain in about 3 ft of clear water.

    Caught this on Nov 22, 2014 standing on a dock on a small pond in Centerville Texas. Used a chartreuse and white 1/2 oz. Booyah spinnerbait with a colorado blade. 3 ft. of clear water during a drizzle.

    What would you suggest a fisherman new to bass fishing ( always fished for sunfish, catfish, trout) use for shore bass fishing? What kind of setups would you use if you were limited to fishing from the shore?

    Hi, Allow me to introduce myself. I am an Army transplant stationed at Fort Drum. I grew up in Kansas. Kansas has a total of about 5 lakes. It was a 2-3 hour drive to get to any one of them. They were all state parks which meant that you could just go there, walk to the shore and start fishing. Also, there were no trees (it was Kansas) so the entire lake was more or less available on foot. Since moving to upstate, I have made several efforts to get out to a lake and do some shore fishing. I have been to Lakes Bonaparte, Black Lake, Indian Lake (this one was ... interesting to get to) Black River Bay, and a few other places and what I run into is that any available shoreline is taken up by residential or is not walkable due to trees etc. I am resisting buying a boat because I move every two or so years and I (my wife) think it would be a pain to move it across the country every few years. I have scoured the internet to find a post or two about shore/bank fishing and have found very little. People don't want to broadcast to the entire internet where the good spots are. This is understandable, but maybe someone could give me a tip on how better to find some fishable bankline.

    Hey guys, I'm in Orlando for the next couple of days and am hoping somebody can point me in the right direction for some shore bass fishing (or snakeheads...never caught one of those...if they're here). The wife agreed to grant me a fishing pass for one morning and I'm chomping at the bit. There seems to be a pond or lake around every corner but I'm not trying to leave Florida with a ticket for trespassing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm a beginner, trying for largemouths for a while now, but no luck. Been to a lot of bass sites, read a lot of magazines--Bassmaster, Bass Angler, FLW--and also watched some videos (like Bigmouth), but still haven't hooked into one yet. I'm not trying to land trophies at this point, just hoping to have some fun. Do you know any really easy spots from the shore/bank? I'm pretty much land-bound. Looking for anywhere up to a two-hour drive from Oakland--anything around the Greater Bay Area or Delta, etc. I was on another forum (which will remain nameless ), but all the members could give me were general bodies of water (like "I heard Discovery Bay, Shadow Cliffs, etc. was good"...). I appreciate the advice, but I don't have the skills yet to identify potential spots by sight (though I've tried really hard). And, so, I've decided I should try to ask on other forums as well. If you don't mind, I'd be truly grateful to hear about some of the productive places you fished. If you have specific locations with descriptive landmarks to make them easier to find that would be great! God bless!
