nascar2428 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Caught four fish from 2.5 - 4 lbs yesterday, in 101 degree direct sunlight on a weightless Texas rigged senko. My number one technique from the bank. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 Anyone fishing at 4am till around 9am? The larger bass are close to shore at this time. The eels are inches from the shoreline too. Don't fan cast your casts close to each other. Skip fan cast, jump your casts around not next to each other. Cloudy overcast days. Chartruese inline spinners, spinnerbaits, cranks. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 As Deep stated, casting distance is paramount. If you have a Creek Channel 75 yards off the bank and you can only cast 50, your out of luck with those fish. You need to find baits and a Rod/Reel combo that allows you to bomb baits, when needed, and line that allows a solid hookset at those distances. Brian. Distance is the key. I take a 5/8oz topwater bait, spray it with scent and throw it as fas as I can. The only thing is if we go in the submerged weeds at that distance we lose the bigger ones when they dive. Been there.

Super User bigbill Posted August 25, 2015 Super User Posted August 25, 2015 Bank fishing takes more skill ,stealth and an ability to work with less. ( easy to say when u can't afford a boat) I can afford a boat but I'm alone, can't handle it. Plus I have more mobility from shore I can gun n run from pond to pond without moving a boat. Quote
