I’ve noticed something about creating bank fisherman content. Often times we believe that classes for bank anglers aren’t valuable for boaters. NOTHING CAN BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. A principle in one area of fishing is compatible in every area in fishing. That is true often time across species as well! There’s tons of nuggets about fishing current, lure selection and map study in the “mastering bank fishing” workshop. All of these lessons are congruent for everyone here in the school. The only difference is the mode of transportation.

Mastering bank fishing current and eddies river tips

Bank Fishing Part 2Fishing behind dams and along riverbanks isn’t about luck—it’s about reading current and making smart choices. This lesson breaks down where bass position when the water’s moving and how to spot overlooked holding spots like eddies, holes, and shallow side ponds.You’ll hear why high-oxygen, food-rich upper river ends matter, and how condensed current below dams can make fish location more predictable. We cover key tactics like long casting, using natural colors, and getting stealthy to avoid spooking pressured fish near the bank.Learn how wading or kayaking gives you access to less-pressured water, and why matching your lure and presentation to subtle current matters. If you want to get off the beaten path and catch more river bass, this session shows you how to think it through.Learn how you can make bank fishing easy!Watch “mastering bank fishing” Masterclass part 1 hereBank Fishing Part 1Gear list for wade fishingLinehttps://www.omniafishing.com/p/sufix-832-braid-with-seaguar-invizx-100-fluorocarbon-leader-material/braid%20color*hi-vis~yellow--braid%20weight*10lb--fluorocarbon%20leader%20weight*12lbSMHhttps://shopblat.com/collections/smz-wormz/products/6-5-smh-wormz-purple-rainSMH jig headshttps://shopblat.com/collections/z-man-smh-jigheadsNed rig headshttps://shopblat.com/collections/finesse-shroomz-headNed plasticshttps://shopblat.com/collections/hula-stickshttps://shopblat.com/collections/trdSwimbaitshttps://shopblat.com/collections/minnowzJerkbaitshttps://shopblat.com/collections/13-fishing-lures/products/loco-special-3-5ft-jerkbaitKeel weighted hookhttps://www.omniafishing.com/p/owner-flashy-swimmer-colorado-blade?fishing_reports_sort=true&fishing_reports_waterbodyhttps://www.omniafishing.com/p/z-man-zwg-worm-hookJig headshttps://www.omniafishing.com/p/z-man-finesse-eyez-jigheadBagshttps://www.mysteryranch.com/Packs/Outdoor/WaterproofWading bootshttps://shop.opticsplanet.com/compass-360-tailwater-cleat-sole-wading-shoe-men-s.html?_iv_code=2C2-FM9-CFCSWS-2414355-11&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD7bK9_oENWax_8Y_RxVBq-_QvImX&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItODfxL6YiAMVJDfUAR12BSd2EAQYAiABEgKQKPD_BwEBait bagshttps://www.omniafishing.com/p/6th-sense-baitzip-bags?fishing_reports_sort=true&fishing_reports_waterbody

(Long post, sorry.)
I've seen some kayak post and questions about set-ups. So I figured I would share mine. (Prior to the alligator incident I posted about last month... Found out I had a crack and that's what caused me to take on water.)
I use a Perception Outlaw 11.5 sit on top kayak. No electronics. There are ram mount holes pre-drilled and capped off. I installed the rail mount cup holder and paddle holders. I also installed a rail mount system on the nose of the kayak for my Anchor Wizard. It is shown with the a mushroom weight. Turned out to be too big and I dropped down to a drag chain style weight... I DIYd my son's old pencil pouch on my seat to hold lip grabbers, scissors, leader line. I have a Plano Weekender Crate tackle bag. Have soft plastic organized from fluke style baita, creature baits, and shakey head baits in the side bags. Hard style and terminal tackle in multiple 3600 boxs. I'll also carry the 3700 double sided storage boxe of my TRD style baits. The kayak has built in double barrel rod holders. But on my crate I installed with zip ties a three rod holder. The middle one I installed with zip ties a flag and beacon light. This has been a great kayak and I have gone just a out everywhere in it with ease... From fishing for shoal bass in swifter water, ponds, big water on the lake and rivers, and an inshore bay area. The hull did crack and I'm in the process of deciding on and upgrade kayak, going through the repair process, or the warranty process.(Just gotta find my paperwork). If you are thinking about an Outlaw I would still say go for it! I'm looking at the Crescent Shoalie FS. I'm including the pictures of my kayak and then the crack. I welcome y'all's advice, opinions, and recommendations. Thanks.

Lately I’ve been mentioning fishing the upper portions of rivers and lakes. Mark Jonas asked for a deeper explanation of why that’s important. Here’s why that’s a place you should be looking for the next 6 weeks.
