Catching TONS of bass fishing Banks Lake!

[@prestonsmith4371]

This is sick. Great job with the editing too

[@teamqwest]

Thank you! I had lost over half my footage but still tried putting something decent together.

[@DevinHoyt17]

Pretty sure banks lake is central Washington! Still, a good video 🍻 prolly work on that boat flip tho 🤝🤘

[@teamqwest]

You're correct I just say Eastern Washington as a bad habit. Boat flips have improved. I get scatter brained too much! Thanks for the response and tips. I got more videos pending.

[@davidbrazell3866]

Nice. When did you shoot this, trying to plan a trip to Banks next year.

[@fishingsister]

Nice day! I might get me some of those 2.75 Zman Finesse TRD Stickbsits 😉

[@teamqwest]

They are amazingggg!!! Tons of colors and other various types. They are elastic so they can handle a beating and function so well!

[@DavidRinaldi-q7u]

Great video. Heading over there this month. What weight jig head were you using?

[@teamqwest]

Hey thank you!!!! I was using a 1/3 Oz. I couldn't get them to commit to anything but the nedrig with a slow retrieve got em! I caught close to 100 in 2 days. Out by the islands I wasted alot of time catching alot of smallmouth that were small. I went to some coves with the some nice cover and started catching decent ones. A few 3 lbers 2 lbers and lots of 1s

[@teamqwest]

1/3 Oz shroom head!

[@mkgamer6474]

Keep posting its really good

[@teamqwest]

Thank you!!!! That's the goal. I wish I could put out videos weekly!!

[@CosbyKid]

For LM, you can find them in Banks in Devil's Punch Bowl and Airport Slough. I remember finding a school of them in Lover's Lane. Couldn't get them to go with a frog.

SLAY DAD

[@teamqwest]

I try!

[@I_luv_hellokittyyy]

@@teamqwest ofc you do slay all day

[@UncleBildo]

I know right where you are fishing! Done a ton of bank fishing there. Will be fishing from the water there in the morning.

[@teamqwest]

Oh right on yeah tons of bass walleye and carp to catch! Let me know how you do! Goodluck man!

[@UncleBildo]

@@teamqwest I'd like to grab a few smallmouth, a few crappie, and maybe a walleye or two..... ready for a fish feast! Mostly be working on Seadoo break in period, but taking a couple poles with me.

[@teamqwest]

@@UncleBildo I think you'll manage too get all of that! The waters warm the fish are hungry you'll do just fine my friend! Fish feast for sure 👊😎👍

[@UncleBildo]

@@teamqwest Will see. Gonna be a blast even if I don't get a bite. Seadoo Fish Pro Trophy, with all the Garmin stuff on it etc.... what a hoot! Makes getting down the lake a bit more entertainment, even if there's some chop.

[@teamqwest]

@@UncleBildo make a video! Sounds like it will be a badass experience for sure!

[@Wes0602]

Any recommendations on spots out there? I usually kayak but unfortunately might have to stick to shore for this next trip (banks lake).

[@teamqwest]

Unfortunately I don't know the lake that well. I seen a few banks spots off the road. The rv park at devils punch bowl has a dock. Try barkers flat boat launch area.

[@Wes0602]

@@teamqwest hit about 4 different spots, spent about 30 mins to an hour at each spot while consistently moving around. Not one dang thing but a little small mouth lmao, I tossed about everything known to be good in that lake/for the species in all sorts of ways. Sometimes you just have bad days, I’ve been on 7 fishing trips in eastern wa in the past 2-3 months and caught 2 fish lmao. Hate this place bcs it’s stubborn, ik the fishing out here can be good but I’m used to some of the places I grew up where it seemed like everything was too easy.

[@teamqwest]

@@Wes0602 sorry for the late response I dont get notifications from KZbin. I had a shitty day trying to find bass the first day But the second I caught one and figured out their tendencies. They were shallow

[@Wes0602]

@@teamqwest Gotcha, preciate it. No worries about the late response.

[@no_regerts5176]

If you want to experience good bass fishing from shore, try going down to the Snake River. Starting at Wawawai County Park, the road runs along the river for 25 miles to Clarkston. You can stop and fish anywhere and it’s loaded with bass.

Hell yeah! Thank you. Just the beginning!

Hey 👋 there. I’m new subscriber.

[@teamqwest]

Thank you for the support ill be doing alot more videos coming up!

[@joellittle1584]

Ive been fishing there for 7 years. U need to bumb up your bait size to wacky rigged and use pumpkin pepper 5 inch senko.

[@teamqwest]

@joellittle1584 I love the zman nedrig tho! But I'll give it a try next time. Thanks man!

[@SeaBat]

No offense. Suggest you view some videos on how to handle fish for catch and release. 😉

[@teamqwest]

Your input means a lot to me. I was a tad rough with a few. I have to get better with that for sure. Thank you Ron. You should check out my Instagram at Teamqwest! Hope to hear more from ya!

[@daveengstrom9250]

If you go back to Banks, most folks fish for small mouth along the rip rap. There are miles of it along the roadways. Tons of fish. Just fish the way you were doing.

[@teamqwest]

Thanks Dave, I got a bunch of info after I posted this video. It has been very helpful. Thabk you for the tips. I'll add it to my arsenal next trip there! 👊😎👍
