What Do You Do When You Want to Catch Bass from a Grassy Bank?

Some Realistic Tips for Catching Bass from the Bank!

Mark has several tips for fishing from a bank that make a lot of sense once you hear them. Should you cast as far as you can or even to the other side of a bay if you can reach it? His first tip is about thinking of bass in rows from the bank.
He demonstrates his approach after he has given us some background for his thinking. He starts on a grassy bank across a bay from a marina.

Mark has a red spinner bait but we know from other lessons that a spinner bait can distract other bass from a school. Mark thinks starting with a jig is better so that you don’t disturb other fish.
