Bass Tracker 20 reply :
What have you guys had the most success with when bank fishing?
eeb72 reply :
Spinnerbaits and jigs have always worked good for me. Depends on where I'm fishing though...
AV8TOR reply :
Swimbaits for me The bass are in feeding on the Blue Gills and I slip a swim bait in there an I have been having great success. They have been watching the spinner baits go by.
hmongkidBee reply :
I like spinnerbaits and crankbaits. When all else fails a texas rig works best.

X3 Also Rapala XRAP Jerkbaits.. Bass around here seem to love a distressed minnow (but don't they all).
guitarkid reply :

Grey Wolf reply :
There is no secret lure for bank fishing , you fish the same lures that you fish from a boat.
brushhoggin reply :
swimbaits and worms
Marty reply :
Agree with the others who use anything. Just fish whatever lure you think fits the conditions and it'll work if there are fish around and willing to hit something. The bass don't know if the fisherman is on the bank or in a boat.
Crestliner2008 reply :
Try an 1/8th. oz. ball head jig with a 3" or 4" curly tailed grub on it. If there are fish to be caught in the spot you're casting to, few lure have the attracting and triggering qualities these small lures do.
rat-l-trapper reply :
I fish from the bank and I use everything guys in boats use. Cranks, jerkbaits, t-rigs, jigs etc. The only lure I can think of that you really need to be in a boat to use is a jigging spoon.
Bass Tracker 20 reply :
Im not looking for advice on what lures to fish from the banks guys, i was just simply wondering what every one else has been catching them on from the bank
shootermcbob reply :
in that case, I have been having success with spinnerbaits w/ matching zoom trailer, swim jigs w/ rage craw trailer, small crankbaits like the strike king 1xs, and lipless crankbaits.
snuffy33 reply :
Floating Rapala - small
Manns - 1
Rage Tail Craw - weightless texas rigged
Brush Hog - weightless texas rigged
For some reason I can't buy a Senko bite this year.
ib_of_the_damned reply :
I fish from the bank exclusivley( no boat) I like to throw a drop shot rig from the bank, and work it back slowly, and shaking it from time to time. Another thing I like to throw are cranks, and lipless cranks. But working the drop shot horizontally is the key for most of my fish.

x2...the drop shot has been producing well for me this year. I've also caught fish on a T-Rigged Craw and a good old fashioned Rapala floater.

Don't overlook the smaller lures. I had a good-sized bass take a little #10 Bett's "Trim Gim" popper the other day while fishing for bluegill. Unfortunately I forgot I was using 6x tippet (3.1 lb test) and lost him as soon as he jumped. 
NateFollmer reply :
Cranks work best for me and then pretty much any plastic texas rigged.
I was standing in about 2 ft of water one day and had about 6 inches of line out, in the water (It was hanging in while I was looking for a new lure). A smallie came out of the grass beside me and swallowed my Sexy Shad. I think that's proof enough of how well cranks work on the bank
Oh, and don't get into the "I'm gonna cast straight out in front of me" crowd. I bet probably 80% of my fish came from paralleling the banks. Fan cast an area also, work it to death then move on.
guitarkid reply :
well to be more specific:
Deep creek lure company worm: chartreuse with black back
Fish stalker finnesse worm: Watermelon gold glitter
Zoom trick worm: green pumpkin green
Culprit worm: red shad
Booyah spinnerbait: gold shad or cortez shad
Booyah jigs: zoom and other trailers
Rapala DT4: shad
H20 Express: RC 1.5 knock off: yellowish with pumpkin back
Rapala original floater: shad

jignfule reply :
I've had ever little success bank fishing. But Wells Fargo has produced more than Citi-Bank. for me anyway.
Bass Junkie reply :
I've done good with 4" finesse worms, SENKOS, Booyah Pond Magic, Spro Bronzeye Jr, Snag Proof Mouse, Heddon Torpedos, Storm Subwarts, and anything that imitates a frog or bluegill. (Oh wow.... I guess thats my list.... LOL When the fish are on the banks they're lookin' for those two things nine times outta ten.)

I almost always fish from the bank. I've had good success with lipless cranks, T-rigged plastics, jigs, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, topwaters and frogs.

Because I fish a quarry with a lot of sharp edged rocks & boulders on the bottom, I usually avoid lead-based bottom techniques in favor of weightless plastics. The plastics seem to get wedged in the rocks less often. However, I haven't learned yet and I'll still throw T-Rigs and Jigs every so often. I average about 2 to 3 casts before I have to break off the line...
bassin is addicting reply :
i bank fish 90% of the time...
parallel to start always... then fan cast..
i've had best luck with..
zoom u tail in watermelon seed and red shad
zoom trick worm watermelon magic
zoom finesse worm green pumpkin magic
lake for tackle live magic shad any color
zoom fluke white and baby bass
4" senko wacky rigged pumpkin with green/blk flake
rage ananconda green pumpkin
black jitterbug...early and late
cavitron buzzbait black and white
spinnerbait white
i've not had much luck with cranks or jigs 'cause they get hung up all the time where i fish....too rocky and too many laydowns.
good luck!
TxHawgChaser1 reply :
wont catch as many this way- but most of my monster bass in ponds came early and late on a topwater chugger or a zara spook type lure- buzzbaits are also deadly.... my Dad's biggest 8.9 came on a weightless worm swimming it slowly on top... WHAM BAM
Jigfishn10 reply :
QuoteSpinnerbaits and jigs have always worked good for me. Depends on where I'm fishing though...
X2 plus buzzbaits
CookieMonst3r reply :
What's worked for me is:
- Texas rigged Watermelonseed Trick Sticks (senkos) w/ a split shot
- Texas rigged baby brush hogged hopped or swam back
FishFocker reply :
All of my fishing is from the bank. Ponds, small lakes and small phosphate pits. I've caught em on t-rig plastics, lipless, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, topwater, ect... pretty much anything i've tried.
Still working on my first jig bass and waiting on my crankbaits to arrive to try those.
I'd think anything will work once you find the fish.
ChiCityBasser reply :
All my fishing so far has been from the bank and I've had the most success with the Strike King 1XS shallow crank in Gizzard Shad color.
Bankbeater reply :
Last year it was jigs and spinner baits.
Redhed reply :
QuoteThere is no secret lure for bank fishing , you fish the same lures that you fish from a boat.
FTW! i bank fished all my life up until 6yrs ago. i use the exact same lures as i would on a boat. you need to know your local forage and go out and take notes. taking notes may sound rediculous but when you see patterns your catch rate will increase.
