Tips to Improve Deer Habitat on Your Hunting Land

How to Max Your Fishing Success on Foot

Most anglers began fishing with spinning gear, light line, and worms or crickets. And most of those anglers had their feet planted on the ground when they caught lots of panfish. But bank fishing isn't just for beginners. In this video, Game & Fish Magazine Editorial Director Adam Heggenstaller shares how to catch lots of fish from the bank with simple tactics.

Take a Swim - For Real

Mega Worms

Most plastic worms used for bass fall in the 6- to 8-inch range. But in some cases, bigger is better. And by bigger, we're talking worms that are a full 12 inches or even longer. These are mega-size worms, and fishing them can result in mega-size bass.

Give Me No Lip

When most anglers think of a crankbait, they picture a hard lure with a plastic lip at the front that enables the bait to dive to a certain depth in the water. But some crankbaits don't need a lip to get down into the water column and draw strikes from bass. These lipless crankbaits offer key advantages in some situations, making them more versatile than their conventional counterparts.

Sling a Blade

When bass move offshore after the spawn and as the water temperature rises, they go deep or suspend along humps or other bottom contours. They often target schools of baitfish such as shad. In this situation, one lure that excels at both matching the forage and reaching the bass is the blade bait.
