Thanks so much man I haven’t been able to catch much of anything then I tried a jig and I had a ton of success thank you

[@BassGeek]

No thank you for letting me know! That's so awesome.

[@headcasebaits9011]

Polarized glasses are the most important part of any bank fisherman's arsenal

Yes sir.

[@jasoncarver1127]

Dude I liked it before I watched and I don’t regret my decision.

Nah thank you for the always useful tips brother

I did the same thing 👍

Same!!! I like his explanations. It’s not just droning on and on. Looking forward to more content!!

[@johnt890]

Agreed

[@Gulb180]

You seem like a good dude. I like the practical hands on stuff that is one of the things that is missing from some of the other channels I watch keep it up!

[@BassGeek]

Thanks I wish I could catch a fish every time I'm doing a how to but the places I fish that's easier said than done. It's always a grind.

[@dougshelton7656]

I got more than my fair share of jigs in my tackle box. I need to start using them more and hope to use this tips. Thank dude.

[@BassGeek]

I love'em but remember they are a tool that has the right time and place.

[@ibanez2010]

This might just be the most comprehensive bass bank fishing video I've ever seen. I mostly use float rigs for shore fishing, but that is only fun for so long. A++ stellar content. Big time thank you!!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you! WOW that was an awesome compliment. Thank you very much.

[@mrkodee7557]

My friend; I just sent a comment to you from another video I watched (fromyouJJ) about jig fishing and I thought it was just great! In thqt comment, I asked for you to gibre some tips on fishinhg from ther bank into a hgrassuy pond. Well you just answered my question with this video; IT WAS GREATS! I rreally like youre style and the info is fantastics~! I am a 77 uear old newbie to lake/pond fishing and didn't realize the complexities of it. I was a trout streaqm fly angler, but poor ieysight made me make a changer. There are still some challenges but ghuys like you habe made the experience much more accessable. TYhank you again and please keep these bvideos coming. Your Geek buddy Walt.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you and I love it. I hope it helps and never hesitate to ask questions.

[@Bluegillandbass]

Watched this video in the morning and caught fish in the afternoon from this video! this is great information!

[@BassGeek]

Heck yeah! Thanks for watching.

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

I never had confidence in my jig fishing from the bank so generally i have avoided them. After this video i am going to fish them again for sure. Thanks for a great chnnel. Your advice works even here in South Africa.

[@BassGeek]

Heck yah I hope it helps and Hello South Africa!

[@Carolinafishingtales]

Thank you for this video. I am starting to learn jig fishing. From the bank. That is key in this video for me. Mot enough channels remember the guys who have to bank fish. I appreciate you doing that. Love your channel. God bless

[@BassGeek]

Be sure to use a little lighter jig 1/4 is a killer

[@tonyfuller14]

Man, you are always spot on. Absolutely love this and I needed to see it. I don’t own a boat so I always bank or creek walk, so this was a great refresher course for me. A lot of the stuff you are saying to do, I’ve done before but have gotten away from it for some reason. I’m gonna have to get back at it soon, but rain has really put a damper on the fishing lately. Thanks for the video as always! I’ve sent your channel to every fisherman I know! Best channel on KZbin for fishing, hands down 👍🏻

[@BassGeek]

MAN Thank you so much! I see you've been here for a while and I can't say how much you getting the word out means. Thanks man Thank you a ton.

[@cmcoleman66]

Right on Brother I’m learning the jig it is becoming one of my favorites now. Great info as always. Appreciate you giving us tips and tricks and the secrets to be more successful on our trips. Best channel on the tube!!!!💯🤙🏻

[@BassGeek]

Man It's my crutch. Thanks for the support.

[@fishingwithvin]

I'm watching this for the sixth time because it never hurts to have the recap. Plus I just realized I never gave your video a like which will be the first thing I do after commenting!

[@BassGeek]

Thank you I hope it helps.

[@FishiganMilligan]

Thank you so much for these jig videos! I’ve caught so many more quality fish because of these videos. Please make more! 🙌🏼

[@BassGeek]

Heck yeah thank you.

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Great info, I do most of my fishing from the bank. Always good to pick up a tip or two.

[@BassGeek]

Good Thanks! I hope it helps us.

[@DoctorSess]

I’ve been killing it in our neighborhood pond with that exact shad swim jig that was shown. 3/8 oz with a swim bait trailer 🤘

[@BassGeek]

DoctorSess Heck yeah man! Good job! Thanks

[@paulsebastian3987]

That was a great video . You taught me a lot I will apply it when or if i go fishing at a pond that's near where i used to work . Thank you !

[@BassGeek]

Thank you sir. I hope it helps and you catch a toad.

[@brenterhard2086]

As kid dad couldn't buy this stuff. I'm adult now, I want ketch fish not shit and wait. I appreciate this because I'm the one fishing now. And honestly I didn't know there was more then putting worm/minno on hook idea

[@BassGeek]

I hope we can help.

[@KadoTheNorm]

Dude I appreciate you taking the time off the boat to speak to the large amount of bank anglers. Boat tips carry over fine but we appreciate it.

[@BassGeek]

I love to fish from the boat but I know you guys need some love and help I'm gonna try to do more.

[@KadoTheNorm]

@BassGeek haha yeah that's a labour of love right there! This would be a huge hit as a series, awesome job highlighting adjustments to weight etc. One of the only people I've seen pitch heavy wood from the bank on video.

[@timperry6095]

Great info, Hank! Thanks for posting the video.

[@BassGeek]

Thanks I hope it helps some people out.

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Solid informative vid. Glad to see bank fishermen get some love too!

[@BassGeek]

I'm trying to. Not a lot of opportunities for bank fishing around me.

[@lesfryman2296]

Thanks for the information. I have never had much luck with jigs in ponds, but this should help. Gonna try these tips tomorrow. Thanks again.

[@BassGeek]

I hope it does. Thanks for watching.

[@kenjirollin2708]

I’m new to fishing and ive been binge watching your videos for info, learn something new everytime!

[@BassGeek]

Thanks I try to make ever video a learning experience. even if it's tournament video's or fishing whaterver they all have info.

[@semperfipt]

Thanks for actually going over the retrieves and not just talking about the certain types of each bait. You’ve helped me a lot. I’ve been fishing for years all live and cut bait. This year I dived into the bass lure game and actually caught some fish. Your vids helped a lot.

[@BassGeek]

Awesome I hope you catch a toad and thank you.

[@robreid3521]

Great video 👍, I'm going to try some of your recommendations this weekend! Ecspecially starting the shallow bank area and work out to deeper areas.

[@BassGeek]

Thanks and I hope it helps.

[@larryhensley6651]

Always a great teaching video. Keep up the good job.

[@BassGeek]

Thank you for watching.

[@bassmedic]

I have to say using a jig has become my favorite lure to use. Never used one until last year and a lot of this info I have learned by just using them on the different lakes in my area. Got one lake with sandy and rocky areas with no grass and one that has grass with sandy and rocky areas.

[@BassGeek]

Heck yeah the more you use it the more you learn how diverse they are.

[@vegasvato55]

LOVE THE BANK FISHING VIDEOS

[@BassGeek]

I want to do more. Hope I do.

[@rvfishingyet]

Thank you for the best 101 video on casting jigs from the shore with a casting rod/reel that I have found so far. Additionally the details on the jigs and in particular the trashmaster was outstanding. Unfortunately I can not find many options for 1/4 or 3/8 ounce jigs, but I will keep an eye out. Please make more shore line videos!

[@BassGeek]

Thanks I don't remember if trashmaster makes a 1/4 you may have to go with another jig. I do plan on doing more how to's from the bank and more fishing from the bank.

[@LowBrowFishing]

#100percentwatchsquad!!! I never get tired of watching this! The part about using your jig to feel out the bottom contours is such great info!

[@BassGeek]

hahaha hey from the back I totally get it.

[@mattthomen1608]

I agree with all you suggested sir.id add wearing camouflage, and casting from behind or over bushes works great for me. Braided lines,and a high rod tip will get me a few extra sneaky bites. And the frog is a wonderful weedless option when the jig gets hung.and always wear polarized glasses. You can see so much more bait activity, and Match lure color and size to forage. And retrieve speed.

[@BassGeek]

Great tips thank you.

Don’t ever have any luck with swim jigs or flipping jigs. Mostly because I don’t think I’m fishing them right. I use to get so frustrated fishing the bank. I use to think you can’t catch fish unless you have a boat so I just stopped. I picked it back up and going to try again.

Go lighter
