Best Baits For Shore Fishing! (Catching Fish In A New Pond)

Are you a shore angler? This one is for you! From ponds to reservoirs, bank fishermen have a different set of challenges than boaters. Today, Tim takes his daughter to explore a new pond. They catch fish from the first cast, and along the way Tim explains his bait selection and how to approach the water from the bank.

If you've spent any time fishing ponds you know they're just as diverse as larger lakes. Some are shallow, others are deep. Some have clear water while others are muddy. Despite all these differences, there are key baits that work in nearly every pond, every time. You can carry whole tackle boxes, but at the end of the day, one of these baits is how you'll catch most of your fish!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits the duo used throughout their time on the water. We've included the exact colors and sizes for each, along with the rods and reels they used to fish these baits effectively.
