Tested Bank Fishing Tips for Catching Bass 

We all want what we can't have, I reckon ;) - Walker

I mean I don't want to be close to the middle I just want a boat so I can fish more cover than 2 small fishing spots in my area the rest is all private property unless you buy a boat

Shelly Vogler - he's got "it" when it comes to speaking and teaching. Very humble. I think this is the first video of his that I've viewed and I had to subscribe. Awesome dude

omg ur right!

Bank fishermen always wanna get a boat.

Good deal. Good looking fella too with that red beard ; ). Bass find it hard to resist.

Bad day of fishing still beats a good day working

GreenGhostMan A bunch more from Walker already in the queue.

I agree! I've recently come across the videos Walker is in and I love them all so far... great teaching style!! I still have a lot to watch but please keep them coming W2F/Walker!!!

We will definitely add a lot more to the bank fishing library this year!

Glad you found them helpful. Thank you for watching. - Walker

Thanks for watching, Isaac! Good fishing. - Walker

Geaux Tigers!!!!

You have to travel or fund a river to drive down maybe 30 mins away im sure you can find some good holes even creeks you can catch smallies and rock bass. You have to fish where few people fish, and you gotta go out and explore to find em

Thanks. We'll be adding a lot more bank-fishing pieces this year.

Good to hear!

I don't beat around the bush! - Walker

I do 😂 I just watch this for some reason 😂

Sadly there are no fish at work

Thank you! Glad it helped!

Thanks BassBound TV. Appreciate the words.

No problem keep up the good work and thanks for the subscription.

Another thing you need to understand is these people in fishing videos go to STOCKED PONDS AND LAKES. Alot of it is private areas on someone's property. I use to get jealous when watching them then I had to ask myself "is my wrist work or lures any different than theirs or is it the location??? Trust me,you'd catch a hog too if you had access to film in a trophy pond

Appreciate that Herman, very important to cover many topics, beginner and basic to experienced and advanced.

Thanks Math Teacher! Assume you're a math teacher? If so, enjoy your well-deserved summer and good fishing to you.

Walker nailed his sign-off with that comment. Good advice for all of us in this digital age!

love it! hahaha

Any specifics on what your challenges are and we'll try to address those in upcoming videos for you. Got a lot of bank fishing stuff coming.

Well I find myself at a lot of different boat ramps and docks so traffic and noise isn't the best lol. So maybe a video on that(more less on limited space)? Also on a side note, not sure if you ever come to the central Florida area but we have a place called Saddle Creek; it's a great place to fish both bank and off a boat and would make for great time and video.

Appreciate it, and looking forward to some more shore fishing videos in the near future.

Thanks for watching, Scott. - Walker

Try using a swimbait jig with a soft crayfish bait on it like he had showed at the end. Try using a pumpkin green or black and blue color

You're welcome. Thanks for watching! We'll be adding a lot more bank fishing pieces!

Thanks!! I look forward to watching more bank fishing videos..Good luck on the water!

Thanks for the feedback, and sounds like you have a solid bank fishing program. We're glad the info was helpful.

You bet, appreciate it Scott.

+hydrate claypool he's as charming in person as he is good looking, plus a load of fun to give sh*t to. Very reactive. Makes for a good co-worker.

Best times are whenever you can get out! Although, hot days you'll find the fish cooperate a little better early morning and late evening into night. Thanks for commenting!

@@Wired2Fish wow.....THAT'S a fast response......thanks a lot !!!!

Sounds like an excellent camping outing! Congrats on the giant birthday bruiser!

A lot of practice and the right gear! The gear I used in the video is listed in the description above. I was also using 17-pound Seaguar Invizx Fluorocarbon line. - Walker

The world needs more anglers like you Mike. Release to fight another day. Our northern MN office is dealing with your pain. Ice until mid-April, then still can't legally chase gamefish (bass, pike, walleye) until May 13th.

It's tough to say without know more about the place you're fishing. This time of year the bass are a lot tougher to catch at least in the mid-section to northern part of the US because cold water has them feeding a lot less. So they are not as active and not as willing to eat a lure. As it gets further into spring you will start to piece it together a little easier. But if you can figure out if there are deeper areas, breaklines where it changes from shallow to deep or vice versa, maybe isolated cover in the lake like a laydown tree, brush pile, rocks, etc. Those can all hold fish. Irregular features like a point of land or grass, a high spots or a ditch or little creek running into the lake. You're basically looking a lot of times for changes. But the search is definitely a lot harder when the water is so cold. As it warms up those fish will move shallower and bank fishermen have a lot more opportunities. - Jason

Jason, thanks for the reply man. I live in the Potomac River area on the Virginia side. Thanks for the advice, after I read this I immediately thought of a place. Its a laid down tree with part of it submerged and it falls into a bunch of lily pads, I might go try that sometime this week. Thanks alot for your help!

solesolace maybe carry a pocket knife and cut some branches down. If you know the land owner.

solesolace keep practicing, and mind your surroundings. there's a lot more lures, techniques, and presentations that you can utilize or maximize using a baitcaster over a spinning setup. so keep mastering it and it'll pay off big time, I promise. my bank fishing setup consists of 6 baitcasting setups and 1 spinning, although ideally I'd like to add another spinning setup to my arsenal (my UL is a spinning too, obviously). spinning setups are best for finesse techniques; I won't throw anything over 1/8 oz. -- MAYBE 1/4 oz. sometimes -- on my spinning setup. all the 'fun', moving baits or power-fishing presentations are most effectively used on a baitcaster

Fish with whatever you are comfortable with and have the most fun with. I don't care if it's a push-button reel. Everyone's preferences are different! Thanks for watching. - Walker

honestly find another pond.. the #1 thing I see amateur's do is stand in one spot.. If I'm not able to walk around the whole pond then I won't fish it.. you gotta cast and move, constantly covering water and land

Slight problem every pond where I live is drainage ponds that have no trespassing (not to mention theres only 2 or 3 of them within my city and no car either I've tested my luck a few times but still never caught any fish in about 5 or 6 of them I've tried) only place I've ever caught fish is the lake that only has one spot to cast from hell its now been like 2 years since I've seen a bass I literally live on lake simcoe the worlds best smallmouth fishery but no boat=no point in even trying lake simcoe unless for perch.

Bass Casters Yes. Actually have the shoot scheduled for next month already.

Wired2Fish can't wait!!! I'm a huge swimbait fisherman!!!!!

Put a jacket on!

Hi Alex, good deal, we think you'll like it. We like the fact that we can pack a good variety of tackle in it so we're covered for just about anything from the bank, or a buddy's boat. Good heavy build quality, so durability seems very good. We're believers in the Zerust trays for protecting hooks/terminal tackle from rust, so that's an additional plus. Let us know how your's is working for you.

Just got it today and it is awesome. I didn't come close to filling it up. Very rugged and durable construction, which I believe will hold up a long time. If not I think it even has a 3 year warranty. I wasn't sure how the line feeder would work but it is great I use it for leaders. If anyone is reading this Academy Sports has them right now for $100, which is a great deal considering it has at least $50 worth of flambeau zerust box's included.

We just shot some last week. They will be published soon!

Throw a nightcrawler and its over

Thanks man, glad it has some value. We have more bank content coming online at Wired2Fish.com starting Monday next week.

The link can be found in the description.

Yes sir. Thank you! ;-)
