Thread: Bank fishing next few days, advise on depth?

My guess is start on the banks, the more shallow gravel looking banks not the real steep ones and if no bites just move off a bit. Good Luck!

I have heard the gravel pit by sparrow foot has been catching.

Thanks guys… I was just wondering if I was wasting my time if they were 50ft off the bank and in 20ft of water.

If you can locate some lay downs that are accessible that is where I would start.

All good advice

I’m not looking for anyones G-14 classified secret spot just a little info on how deep they are. Thanks

When they are spawning I like to use small bobber an 6 inches of like and 16th jig to foot or so off bank an have parrellell slow retrieve stopping and popping occasionally. Caught a quick limit today doing that. Then toss 5 or 6 foot off and have 2 foot of line till u find them.

There is a brush pile on the northeast side of the bridge at Windsor Crossing. How many of you are in your group? I might take my boat out tomorrow morning and I have an empty seat. Really depends on how much mowing I get done tonight.
