Cool, thanks. Here are my 5 tips: Go light, go mobile. I layer my storage bins in my tackle box with items needed and pin open hook items like jig heads into sponges that are cut to fit into the bins so more things fit and the sponge absorbs the space for less noise when I hike. 2) Have a tackle retrieval tool. I carry a 1 ounce weight with a snap ring on one end and the other attached to an 11' piece of cord. I always carry at least 2 rods so that I can walk the bank to change my pull angle from a different location. Many anglers simply wedge in-between rocks. Learn the banjo snap method for freeing a snag. Another tip is to politely ask an angler with a boat or kayak with electronics what they are seeing down underwater, water temps, structure, etc. Be nice and start the conversation with a greeting. Don't be a jerk and just start grilling them for info. You're not interrogating a criminal. Fouth, pick a lake, pond or river and focus on it. Learn the intricacies of that particular water body so you are the expert. I have very limited access to bodies of water far away so it forces me to fish regularly at my local lake, along with the other 3 million people that live in this city southern California city. It is really hard to find fish from the bank but it makes me try harder. The fish are beat up 24/7 for 29 days out of the 30-day month; the lake is closed 1 day of the month. I have taken pictures and notes on where the structures and cover are during the periods of lake drawdown. I fish it rain or heat and adjust accordingly; early or late during summer; rain gear and waterproof cell pouch during winter. Lastly, be prepared. Cell phones don't always get reception.

I love those additional tips. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼

Always appreciate a good bank video. 95% of instructional videos are from pros and good amateurs in boats. I think in the professional world of fishing, it's easy to forget that most of us don't have boats. I also appreciate the pro info filtered through an amateur perspective. Loved the crankbait, chatterbait, and jig videos. Keep up the good work.

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks 🤙🏼. Appreciate the kind words. Hope to keep em coming !

[@freddyj5845]

I wish I would have come across your channel two years ago when I first started fishing! Would have saved me money, stress, and actually enjoy fishing 😂

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks for your kind words.

[@staceymiller4765]

Just got back into fishing after being medically retired and catching a good sized bass. Appreciate the advice and looking forward to many more tips.

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@OilfieldAngler]

Excellent advice

[@noswad75]

These are the best vids I've seen. Just simplifies things. Too much junk out there. I've got so many baits and lures that I don't even need.

[@KrakenBass]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@stevenrobnett7390]

Lost a handful of tackle bank fishing a rocky area of the watauga River over the last couple weeks lol

[@edwardellis7611]

Good stuff I have about a 40 acre lake in my neighborhood. Some of its hard to fish do to brush and almost impossible to cast a 6 and a half foot or larger rod without hitting a limb. In the 70's and 80's shorter rods were common 5ft to 5 in a half. I think shorter rods are crucial to bank fishing as you can cast in tight places that you just cant with long rods. I've got a 5'6 Ugly Stick that was my dad's its 50 years old at least but a perfect bank fishing rod. I cant tell you how many ugly backlashes I've had from hitting a tree limb casting from a bank. I take a machete or folding hand saw with me. Baits from the bank zoom trick worm(with a small bullet weight or weightless), jig, beetle spin, spinner bait, a top water bait such as a whopper plopper or torpedo. I've also found a ned rig is fantastic it works when nothing else will. I don't carry a lot what has helped me is a carry a chest bag it's small and it forces you to carry small amounts. I carry 2 rods usually a bait caster and a spinning.

[@KrakenBass]

Thank you. Great insights 🤙🏼

[@ForehandDiscReviews]

Great video

[@adammitchell3462]

Good tip on fishing the bank...i was astonished at how shallow most of my catches were, i caught my pb(6pounder) right at my feet!

[@KrakenBass]

That is awesome!🤩

[@2aforever510]

I just had an absolute monster on the other day, that hit about five feet from me, ran into the weeds and then snapped the line right as I got him to my feet. I was amazed how close it was when it struck. Now I am obsessed with finding it again lol

[@reggiethomas8324]

BRO THANK THANK THANK YOU this what i been looking for i see so many sites about how to catch bass BUTTTTTTT everyone is doing it from a boat and thats cool but what about people who not a boat

[@colejfishingadventures]

Good stuff man! Awesome video!! Your videos are very well done and I love watching! I make fishing videos as well and it’s cool to see what you’re up to!! Keep up the good job!👌👌

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks! Will do!

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

Sorry, wanted to mention that the more i watch your channel, JB, the more i learn from it. I am often guilty of fishing the same spot WAY too long. I fully agree with you here. Excellent channel. Thanks Bud.

[@KrakenBass]

I appreciate that!

[@adammitchell3462]

As a former bank angler,i find fishing from a kayak very difficult...i still cast from the bank a little before i pitch my boat because I can fight a large bass twice as effective as i can from the yak

[@KrakenBass]

I hear you kayak fishing is definitely difficult to land em. It's fun when they pull you around though 🤙🏼

[@2aforever510]

Just got my first yak a few days ago and it is definitely taking some getting used to. I woke up this morning and went with what I’m comfortable with and hit the banks. Kind of like that favorite pair of jeans that you don’t want to get rid of. 😂

[@chrisputnam7354]

Just subbed my guy good vids

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks bro 👊🏼

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

I am mainly a bank angler here in South Africa. I prefer it to my float tube or canoe. Bank fishing is always fun. I caught a 2.7kg bass last weekend in VERY cold water. Was tough but loved it.

[@KrakenBass]

That's what it's all about having fun!

[@jerrycandelaria8845]

Just started fishing maybe you can answer this question why is a right-handed reel for a right-handed person you wouldn't use your weekend to hammer a nail in your dominant hand to hold the nail the gear system seems to be built for your weak hand but most right-handed fishermen have the reel handle in their right hand

[@LetsTalkFishin]

Very helpful video sir👍🏾

[@KrakenBass]

So nice of you 🤙🏼

[@jorgeparente6424]

10:00

[@matthewmolone9224]

a float tube can be found used for 50 bucks and will get you to places a bass boat can’t

[@Thegreatkayak]

You can still enjoy the outdoors, but if you wanna catch more fish, it’s on the Water

[@ktmpc1]

5 mins of talking ,get to the point

[@KrakenBass]

Thanks for the feedback. I hear you. To many stories I'll work on getting better.

[@xSlumV]
