Thoughts on Fishing Shoreline Lay-downs

Most bass anglers search the shoreline regions of the waterway being fished for prime surface cover potentially harboring the biggest bass in an area…

Personally, I get very excited each time I find a tree that has crashed from its former place on the bank sending the trunk and radiating array of branches into the depths creating a myriad of bass-holding ambush points beneath the surface!

Recently I came across a video from a well-known bass fishing celebrity, Bill Dance offering his approach for fishing fallen trees he finds in his favorite honey-holes.

Take a moment and watch this short video from BD and hear what he has to say…

Like Mr. Dance says, in our excitement to get hooked up quickly, we often fire our baits into the heart of the lay-down and probably miss many more bass catching opportunities around the outer edges and unseen deeper branches…
