Best Baits For Shore Fishing! (Catching Fish In A New Pond)

Are you a shore angler? This one is for you! From ponds to reservoirs, bank fishermen have a different set of challenges than boaters. Today, Tim takes his daughter to explore a new pond. They catch fish from the first cast, and along the way Tim explains his bait selection and how to approach the water from the bank.

If you've spent any time fishing ponds you know they're just as diverse as larger lakes. Some are shallow, others are deep. Some have clear water while others are muddy. Despite all these differences, there are key baits that work in nearly every pond, every time. You can carry whole tackle boxes, but at the end of the day, one of these baits is how you'll catch most of your fish!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the duo used throughout their time on the water. We've included the exact colors and sizes for each, along with the rods and reels they used to fish these baits effectively.

The Best Baits For Summer Pond Fishing! ( And Bank Fishing )

These are the baits we use to overcome shore fishing's unique challenges! We grew up walking creeks, ponds, and lakes in search of bass. Along the way we've developed a pretty solid strategy to catch those fish without spending a fortune and getting frustrated. Here is what we use and how we apply it to pond fishing to catch more fish!

Whether you're a pond fisherman, a bank fisherman, or you boat on shallow bodies of water, this information will help you succeed this Summer. The key to successful pond fishing is having a mix of reaction and finesse presentations. Its an added bonus if you're able to do it with inexpensive baits as well because when you're limited to shore, some break offs are bound to happen. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear discussed in the video. We've also included some great "bang for the buck" rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
