Top 3 Baits For Summer Bank Fishing!

Its HOT! No one wants to walk the bank catching NOTHING when its this hot! We've got a few tips that are going to make a huge difference for you this Summer! No matter where you fish, how big or small the lake, we've got a 3 bait approach that will help you get more bites so you're not stuck out there struggling to get a bite.

When fishing from shore in Summer we use a very simple 3 bait approach. You need a bait to fish the surface, another to fish mid-column, and a third to fish along the bottom. Exactly which baits do you need? That's depends on how much grass you have in the lake. Tim has separated his recommendations (9 in total) depending on whether you have surface grass, mid-column grass, or no grass.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits Tim recommended in the video. We've included favorite colors, exact hooks for rigging, as well as a couple of our favorite bank fishing rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
