Stuck on the bank

no boat ,no live scope ,no side imaging (unless i crane my neck) ,no live scope ,no minners ,not much time, no braid , no spot lock and i ask ya whats a fella gunna do …..?:Rofl
my recommendation for said circumstances is this .
Go put your jig in the water and get jiggy with it :highfive
there are nice fish to be had off the banks and docks if put your jig in the water at the right time and the right spot and the right depth and that's a fact
here are few photos from this week and to be sure ….
stay tuned and have a great day

whoops i mentioned no live scope twice …..its becoming a 2 word 4 letter word with me if haven't noticed :Rofl

Those are some great fish Outlaw! who needs a stinkin live scope to catch fish? Or anything if you just get out and get your jig wet you have a shot. Most of my fishing is off of shore or docks as well and I seem to do ok.

Determination rules.....

Real nice ketchn there bro! You got some gooduns in there for sure. If I was a guide, livescope is something I'd want just for the business sake of it being the hot new thing. Otherwise, I grew up with my dad and his buddies yanking limit after limit all year in a Lone Star without even a fish finder. Just learning the body of water you fish and the only waypoints were trees, towers, and stuff off the shore you used to line your boat up on a spot. So I got nothing but respect for the old school guys that don't need it. I bought my dad a sonar finder for christmas one year way back when he was still able to get out, and he just said "I really appreciate that boy. I really do. But I don't need all that **** lol.

"the right time and the right spot and the right depth"

Easy peasy :Rofl

Nice catch!!! A boat just cost ya more money! :-)

Ketchn, you are only stuck on the bank due to time or other constraints on you. You know where there is a pontoon that you can go out on any time you wish to go,

However there is no guarantee that you will catch as much fishing the pontoon as you catch while fishing the banks. :)

the bank is mighty kind to me for sure . I know traditionally everyone thinks you have to have a boat to do well thru out the year on crappie , but to be sure I have found that's not the case if you stay determined and focused and learn what and where to be when .

The Outlaw speaks the truth! Putting a boat in the water can be a pain especially if your by yourself and it's so much easier to toss some tackle in the back of my lil ancient accord where you can put rods thru the arm rest in back seat and just run over to different lakes or spots and wet a jig.

I used to be a pharmaceutical rep and traveled all over east Texas. I carried a telescoping pole and some tackle and would find a lake or river and fish during lunch. All was good until I caught one. Learned that I need to fish when others are out there or I would go to my next office smelling like fish. If others are there give them the fish if they get it off the hook! ?

I have caught way more fish off the bank than I have ever caught in a boat. Heck I am pushing 70 and I didn't get a boat till I was in my 50's. So I have done a lot more bank fishing than boat fishing. But, fishing is fishing and sometimes I get a feeling; This is the cast that will catch. Can't explain it, but, there is that feeling that this is the one. And more often that not, it is.
Or the feeling that there is one right there. And there is. So who needs Live-Scope, when you have that feeling.

Truly spoken , some days I know first cast I am going to hang one ....I mean I just know
Something like a ketchn angel I suppose but no matter the explanation I can feel it
