On the bank....again

[Muddy Water]

Fished a couple hours this morning from the bank near Eagle Rock.  Fishing was slow compared to last visit here, only caught 8 or 9 with 3 being keepers.   The water was slightly stained and the temp looked cold.  Most fish were caught about 30 feet from the bank in deeper water......all NED fish

Nice pictures of some very healthy fish.

I came in on the afternoon shift after Muddy left.  I had good numbers, caught 25, a few solid keeper large mouth, and a couple of borderline spots, the rest being shorts.  Ned fish.  There was an afternoon bite and most of mine were on the shallow side compared to where Muddy was getting them.  I'd say the 5-15 foot range was best for me.

You guys are catching some great fish from the bank! Seems like there have been a lot more bass being caught in shallow water than I have seen from the boat fisherman. Great job and an inspiration to bank and wade fishermen like myself!

Noticed that too. Too easy to get caught up probing the depths for fish that may not want to play. 

I'm all for it if the deep fish will eat. If not, there are always some shallow.
