Naked banks exist in all reserves and lakes of the country. They are voids of clay, sand, dirt or gravel or composites of these materials. Bare banks can border quays, major river channels or islands. Some work for short distances; others stretch hundreds of yards. However, the flow that binds all the bare banks together is the lack of obvious features. The extent to which the bass uses bare banks varies from lake to lake and even from one bank to another. Bare banks in deeper and / or older lakes tend to attract more fish than similar banks in smaller, newer lakes. The latter waters usually have a different, better structure to draw the fish. Bare banks are not so important in lakes, where there is wood or grass or a lot of structure up and down. Even in lakes with lots of different structure, some bare banks still hold bass, and these can be honey holes because they are rarely caught. The only way to find out which banks are good is to check them. It takes a lot of time, which is why fishing with bare banks is more practical for anglers on their home lakes than for professionals who move from one lake to another.
Bass is more likely to stick along bare shores during seasonal migrations. The best time to catch these banks is spring and autumn. In the spring, the bass moves to streams to spawn, and many times they follow the banks back to the shallow water. And in the fall, the shad floats in the creeks, and the bass sets in behind them. Most of the feed activity in September and October occurs near the shore. Sometimes the bass also feeds along the bare shores in summer and winter, usually in the main lake areas, where the wind or currents are pushed into shallow ones. Bare cans can produce fish throughout the year. Wind is one of the main keys. Fishing along the bare shore is 100 times better if the wind blows on it, especially on a clear lake. Waves, bait. They knead the bottom and expose the crayfish. They destroy the penetration of sunlight. In general, the wind blowing on the bare shore creates the conditions for the main power, and this leads to the fact that the bass becomes lower and more active. Another note about the bare banks: they have an additional attraction for the kid and spotted bass. If the lake has only big cities, ordinary banks will sometimes be good. But the spotty and small mouth are present, they can be very often at any time.
Bass locations along the coast:
In fact, the term “bare banks” contradicts the actual composition of these fuzzy structures. A bank may look naked if you run around the lake at a speed of 50 miles per hour. But if you stop and really learn and catch it, there will almost always be something that will attract the bass. It’s just a matter of what to look for and how to find it. You can find bass near subtle changes or isolated objects along bare banks. Examples include where the composition of the bank changes (i.e. Gravel is inferior to clay), where the stream channel swings near the bank, where the bank becomes flatter or steeper, or where the bank makes a slow turn. In addition, underwater objects along the coast are like lighthouses that draw bass. Stumps, logs or large stones can exert a magnetic effect on a fish swimming along the shore. In addition, many people are immersed in the bushes along the naked banks. A brush in a bank that does not have any other functions will almost certainly rely on drawing a fish, and you can hardly find other fishermen due to the lack of fishing pressure.
Knowing what to look for along naked banks and being able to find these spots is two different questions. The visual check is pretty simple. Rybnik can see changes in the composition of the bank, the turn of the coastline or the dark shadows of underwater stalks or logs. (Polarized sunglasses are vital for surface observation.) He can also study the topographic map to find where the channels are located near the bank. However, most of the fish that attract objects along the bare shores are hidden from view and are not shown on the maps. Fishermen have two methods of finding them: electronic inspection using a depth gauge; and trial fishing. Start checking the bank, standing idle along it and watching your deepwater. Zigzag enter and exit for scanning different depths. Basically, look for a lid down the side of the bank, and also watch for contour changes and return baitfish. If the bank is 200 yards long, cover it all up. Then, if you see everything that looks promising, turn around and catch it. He just stands idle partially down the coast and sees nothing, and then begins to detect signs or fish. Another approach is to start at one end and fish. That way you can really effectively cover the entire bank. Take the time to go down and check out different areas and depths. In this way, you can do a thorough job of eliminating thinking and developing a robust template. When you fish, constantly monitor your depth gauge for objects or changes in the contour of the bank. Look for small shelves or places where the first break occurs close to the shore. Again, this is a minority, small changes, where the bass is likely to be. Sometimes the only way to find these places is to fish the entire bank.
Lure for poor banks:
For fishing on bare shores, you can rely on a small selection of reliable baits: crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, topwaters, larvae, jigs and plastic worms. Diving crankbaits is the best choice for exploring along bare banks from early spring to autumn. Also, because you can quickly cover the water. In addition, you can drop them directly on the waterline and then hit them down the side of the coast. This makes it easy to check depths from a few inches to a depth of more than 10 feet. Another good bait for finding bare banks in early spring is a jerkbait. Fishing jerkbait is a good way to catch hanging bass. This is especially effective when the water first starts to warm up (from low to mid 40s). When catching this bait, move along the shore, making a 45 degree throw on the shoreline. Head straight to the edge of the water and start the bait four or five times to start it, then start the “jerk jerk”. Repeat all this before the boat. The colder the water, the slower you want to work as a bait. Spinnerbait is the third option for exploring along bare shores in the forearm and spawning periods. Spinnerbait should be cast shallowly, and then folded down the slope using middepth retrieve. Many times, if the bass is actively powered, they will be pulled in by flash and vibration, and they will be hit from below or near the bait. Alternating among the crankbaits, jerkbaits and spinnerbaits to see which bass is preferred on a particular day. This is just a matter of trial and error. One day the fish will wrap around the bottom, and diver's crank varnish works best. The next day they may be suspended, and the jerkbait is better. And on the third day, they can wander and feed, and the apprentice is a trick. You just need to analyze the weather and water conditions and try to figure out how active the bass is and how shallow, deep or suspended they are. Then choose the bait that will work best in these conditions. But if this bait does not work, try two other types. Sometimes the bass is difficult to invade. Pitchers, larvae and worms (the so-called slow lures) seriously extend to naked banks. These lures are good in three different circumstances.
If you work with a shovel with a cranked lid and bite the lid without a bite, raise your jig or worm rod and work a little on the lid. If the bass is not too active, it is not uncommon for them to miss a crank or spinnerbait, but to get into a jig or worm. The second case of using a slow bait is when the bank gave some fish to one of the faster baits, and the fisher wants to make another walk along the shore and offer the remaining bass another option. And the third case of the use of larvae, jiggs and worms is when the passage of the bank with faster lures gives no action, but the fisher believes that the bass is present and just not in pursuit of mood. Topwaters are excellent bait for fishing bare cans after the water temperature rises in the 70s. This is another alternative. Vertex lures caught fish on bare banks in the early and late afternoon - a good sample for summer fishing. It may not be the most consistent pattern in the world, but sometimes it will produce big fish.
