Remember to always ask permission to cross or fish on someone's property. Try to find an area that receives low fishing pressure but has a good amount of bank structure . Pulling weedless soft plastics through and around the vegetation can produce big bass. Keep an eye out for trees that have fallen into the water. These are great bank structures for jigs, spinnerbaits, and shallow running crankbaits.
Points are a key bank structure too.
Some have boulders, brush piles, stumps, and fallen trees. Even if the point doesn't have any cover on it, the point itself is a structure and will attract bass. This is because the point can have a wide range of depths. A point also serves as an ambush point for passing schools of shad and other smaller fish. These are just a few reasons why points are favorites among crankbait and Carolina rig fisherman.
