Bank fishing is a method of fishing from the bank or shoreline. People typically do this by casting their fishing bait or lure into the water in an attempt to catch fish. Bank fishing is usually performed with a rod and reel but nets, traps, and spears could be used. Many people find bank fishing at a disadvantage to fishing from a boat because boating anglers are able to fish more areas in prime locations with greater ease than bank fishermen. However many people don’t own boats which require them to fish from the bank and find accurate and fun ways to catch fish. When fishing from the bank many things must come into consideration to allow you to successfully catch fish. Water depth, bank structure, location, time of day, type of bait and lures come into play when fishing from the bank. Fishing is the activity of hunting for fish by hooking, trapping, or gathering animals not classifiable as insects which breathe in water or pass their lives in water. ...

Equipment
When going bank fishing the proper eqiupment is essential. Many fisherman have different preferences of their equipment but there are some basics that most will bring along. Obviously you will need your fishing poles and fishing tackle. Most bank fishing is performed with a rod, reel and lures and/or bait. It is not rare to bring along a couple of fishing poles. You can bait fish with one and while that is in the water you can lure fish with the other pole. Some fishermen will bring along a bucket that they will put their caught fish in and it can also double as a seat. Other fishermen will bring a stringer to hold their caught fish or if you are sport fishing (catch and release) you won't need either of these. With growing technology some luxury equipment has been developed such as the fish finder that uses sonar or a camera to physically locate fish. This is typically reserved for boat fishing but can also be applied to bank fishing. Fishing tackle refers to the equipment and gear used when engaing in the pursuit of fish for sport and commercial value. ...

Advantages Bank fishing has many advantages that most people don’t realize. A main reason that a lot of fishermen bank fish is because a large amount of money can be saved by avoiding all of the costs involved in the ownership of a boat. A lot of fishermen and even professional anglers find it and advantage to fish from the bank. According to professional angler Joseph Raines, “I've bass fished from the bank most of my life, and have had tremendous success. I have caught all of my 7lb. plus bass from the bank. I recently caught a twelve pound bass right on the bank.’ Bank fishing forces the fisherman to scout and locate prime fishing locations. Some anglers view this as an advantage because it sharpens their skills by forcing them to play close attention to important details that boating anglers may miss. Bank fishing might also allow a person to reach areas that a boat can’t. It might be able to reach shallow areas or densely covered areas that might be tricky for a boat to get to.

Disadvantages Bank fishing may have its advantages however compared to boat fishing it also has its disadvantages. Most obviously, boat fishing allows you to locate prime areas with greater ease and speed. Also bank fishing doesn’t allow you to locate fishing areas that are too far away from the bank that may be more suitable to your fishing needs. Boat fishing also allows you to fish for deep water fish, such as lake trout, that may be impossible for bank fishermen to catch. A boat also allows one to use fishing methods that are unavailable to bank fishing such as trolling, deep water jigging, or down rigger fishing.

Considerations There are many things to take into consideration during and before bank fishing and many of them depend on the type of fish you are fishing for. An important point to think about is the structure of the bank. Is it rocky, grassy, woody, or sandy. Different fish prefer different structure types. Also look at the surroundings on the bank. It may be an open area with no cover or it may be densely covered with trees. The surroundings could play a key role in providing shade (or not) which is important because it regulates water temperature and the viewpoint of the fish. Also look around at the surroundings for footprints, debris, broken branches and any other signs that other fishermen have been there. This may be a sign that the area has been over-fished which might reduce your chances of a good catch. One should even consider the minute things that might be easily overlooked. Pack lightly. When fishing from the bank you won’t want to carry a large load. Blend into your surroundings. Fish are able to see things through the water that may seem out of the ordinary and might spook them. Remember to be quiet near the water and minimize the amount of noise made with the bank which could also spook the fish. Finally, a general rule of thumb is to use no longer than a 6 foot pole when fishing near trees or brush to minimize getting hooked on branches.
