Bank Fishing Tips For Hot Summer Bass! (Pond Fishing In A New State)
Tim and JD are exploring a new pond from shore. Come along for a fun evening on the water as they crawl over logs and through the grass in search of quality bass from the bank. Listen to the details as Tim explains how he approaches a pond, what he's looking for, and where he starts the search. Notice the baits he relies on first, and how his simple system of topwater, reaction, and bottom contact come into play.
Most anglers find the passion for bass fishing standing on the shoreline, very few begin in a boat. Tim and Matt both grew up walking the banks of ponds and creeks, catching everything that swam in those waters. It's easy to get caught up with modern electronics, boats, and tackle, but that's not where it begins for most of us. Today Tim is instilling in JD a love for bass fishing. Whether you're a brand new angler or a seasoned pro, there's always time to walk the edge of a good looking pond.
Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys used throughout the evening. We've included the rigging components, bait colors, as well as Tim's rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
