Dude we need this more than you know! I don’t have a boat but my dream will come true one day! Thanks for your tips man! We get years and years of experience from the best fisherman on the planet, just clicking the computer! Thanks a lot for all you do dude!
I love to see the bank fishing videos I've been fishing for 45 years now I have retired as a chef and restaurant manager and have become a sports fisherman trying to enter local tournaments here in Galveston the bank fishing videos are great if it wasn't for your dad doing some bank fishing videos when I was a child I would have never discovered fishing that's how long I've been watching I'm 57 and have been fishing for 45 years. Bank fishing is much harder you don't have pictures of where the fish are so often you spend time in areas where there are no fish, learning how to read the water the bait fish ,the sun and the clouds give you a true edge over most boat fisherman's ,that they never had to learn about.
I’m not sure if you’ll read this Scott but I’m subscribed to several fishing TH-cam channels as most of us are. I can honestly say you’re my fav. It’s the passion and enthusiasm you bring to the table as well as being a great role model, fisherman and dad! Stay safe man!
My favorite bank fishing lure is the Stanley Jigs Top Toad with a weightless frog hook. I've gotten great fish (fishbrain mathewburch) on it. 8 lbs 15 oz and a 9 lbs 10 oz. It's a great topwater dinner bell.
Looking forward to the video walking the dawg bro! Godbless you man, and your family. We are blessed y’all share your knowledge with us googans out here! , keep it up SMC, we got your back with support man!
I only here in Sourh africa on private farm dams. We have a LOT of grass in these dams so i have to fish weedless texas rigs maily on straight 30 pound braid. I have watched your and your dads videos a lot and the advice you guys give us is teuelly priceless. Made me a much better angler for sure! Thanks again.
Watching ur channel overseas right now. Cant wait to get back stateside and attack them bass. Best video yet. Thanks for showing a bank fishing video. Dont have to be in a boat to catch fish. You dont even have to catch fish to have good time.👍
Grew up out west Trout fishing all my life. Now in Alabama trying to learn to bass fish. So different, but today is my B-Day and im taking myself fishing in an hour and im gonna try these out. Very informative video. Thanks for the tips!!
Scott, in the great state of Michigan just below the bridge we love the pumkin green Yamamoto 5” rubber worm! Large mouth and small mouth ! As my grandson says, “ Papa if you are not fishing wacky style then u ain’t bass fishin!” I think he watched your dads channel to many times. Nothing better the the Senco!! Thanks for the tip! We r trying the Googin bandito bug tomorrow! Take care and God Bless you and your family!!
My newest favorite bank fishing rig is a modified Carolina Rig. I use a bobber stopper on the front and the back of the weight, so if I wanna make it a Texas Rig, I just slide it down. Been killin' it at my local fisheries with it this summer.
Great video Scott!! Congrats and always your fan. Can you tell me all the gear you were using here? What rod, spinning reel, lure and for me, the most important, what line do you use for spinning? The green one. Can you tell the brand and the pounds you use? Thanks a lot!!
Love your videos man, cant wait for the tournaments to start back up! I'd like to see a video on finding summer bass. I've had trouble locating them at my home lake up here in Oregon.
Scott love your videos! I watch your whole family! Maybe more in depth techniques on how to fish the different baits wouldbeuseful. Maybe knots that you use. A lot of us don't have boats and are trying to find good bank fishing spots. So please keep up with the bank fishing videos.
Thanks Scott! You have inspired me to bank fish again. Will have to check out the rest of the how to series. My favorite bank fishing lure? The Senko fished Texas rigged generally with no added weight.
Great video Scott thanks for the great tips. I was wondering does Martin senior ever call you up an educate you on any thing guess he watches an ties to advise do a video with him love to see yourl together I watch all his videos really enjoy what you guys do. Keep well an stay safe 🙏
Off the bank would be Jackall popper frog early morning or 6th sense catwalk walking bait. Shaky head for gravel rocky bottoms. Drop shot in grassier areas. The chatterbait always got tied on or a swim jig. Wacky rig for a follow up on frog fishing early then big curly tell worm Texas rig when hot and fish move out to deeper water. Thanks for the great videos Scott. You the man
New to fishing. Been doing a ton of research but there's just so much to weed through. Can you do a video for beginner lake/pond bank fishing but focusing on setups i.e. line, lures, rods, etc.? I currently use a Shakespear spinning reel but trying to improve my overall experience/knowledge base.
So Scott, what if the ponds have I’m fishing just has a soft muddy bottom, most around here, Savannah Georgia area. I have yet to fish one here that isn’t a soft bottom. Morning and evening I’m fishing a spook or buzz baits, sun gets up I go with spinner bait or shallow crank bait or stick bait or fluke. Great tips and thanks!
I have really good success on swimbaits 6 to 8 inches lipless crankbaits and Senkos and topwater walking baits such as the Zara Spook and Whopper ploppers as well
Hi Scott, new to the channel and bass fishing....would love to see a video on how you determine what lures to use during different weather, water color/clarity, and in what order you try different lures. Thanks!
I was amazed that you didn’t put a fluke or senko in a bank fishing video. But I know most people don’t deal with it but I fish tidal water I would love some input on slack tide situations. Fished tourney today in the Pascagoula river and only .3 ft of moment couldn’t figure out what to really do
I know I’m a few days late, but my favorite bank lures are a bandito bug, a drag n drop on a drop shot, a whopper plopper, a reaction innovations flirt and a skinny dipper on a belly weighted hook. I’ve committed to learning the frog this year though
Swim baits, would love to see a video on that. absolutely love your videos love the educational part, you know how to describe it in a down to earth way, swim baits have been my Achilles’ heel would love to see a video
I like to use a popper style topwater, like the Rico Pop, and soft plastics, like the crawworm, senko style worm, or mag finesse type worms. Those probably get 95% of my bass I catch in ponds. I do occasionally use small hard jerkbaits, small squarebills, small finesse jigs, depending on how much I know about that particular pond.
Great video, thank you. I live in Western Kentucky and with the Asian Carp in Kentucky Lake I have found pond fishing to be very rewarding. As always you mad me smile with the ants and just bought some Jackhammers yesterday so to see the damn gator get yours ......... damn gator. How about a video on the adjustments on bait-casters. I fish with Garcia reels and I think one knob is magnets and not sure about the dial deal.
Scott, hope you are well and healthy. I am from Canada and Montreal. We usually go with friends to this place called Sleepy Hollow near Lake Champlain for fishing. Amazingly staff, good people. Do you think it would be possible that one day you can come down to Canada and do a seminar and make a video for us ? There isn’t enough videos or seminars do get fishing growing more in Quebec and as you know we have amazing lakes ! Hope it’s a market you can think about.
Hey Scott first of all thanks for being so informative and willing to share techniques. We catch some slobs here in central FL but could you shed some light on fishing lipless cranks through grass? Keep it up bro you're vids are much appreciated. Thanks brotha
You are so lucky you got that Jackhammer back haha. I live in North FL and I can't even tell you how many lures (esp top water lures) I've lost to gators. The blow ups are epic and at first you think you've hit the jackpot until you see what's on the end of your line, lol. Most of the time, they end up breaking off.
can that top water pay off if you are on a point that shoots out and has sloping sides on each side? then is it worth casting out on each side of it? ive never got a topwater.. ived tried it all really tight casting down banks.. and off main points but never any luck.. tried at all times of day.. and different times of year.. so i just mainly do drop shot and weightless texas rigged.. its the cheapest to lose from the banks.. and basically everything else is easy to lose.. except the top water but ya.. doesnt work so well for me. i got a tank here the other day on a roboworm dropshot style. i also fish a lot of off times.. non feeding times ect.. and a high pressured lake.. most of my fish come deeper then most would think.. around the 10-20 foot range. getting one shallow for me is just rare period. unless its like a super dink.but ya even a lot of my dinks are deeper. also i dont get many on the drag in or working the bait back in.. with drop shot and weightless i would say 90% of my catches are right as it hit the bottom or after the very first few movements if not on the drop itself. its weird here and tough. sometimes i feel if im not casting directly on one its impossible. good tip on learning the bottom.. using a weight helps also.. since you can feel the bottom a little more.. like rocks ect. also the tip on the weight is very good.. i would say do the lightest weight you can because it makes the plastics that much more real on the drops. sadly its windy a lot here and i like casting farther out since they tend to be deeper here. so i use a 1/2 ounce but if its perfectly calm and i go lighter weight i get more fish. nice vid and tips.
All googan baits and speed worms..doing a great job with hilary just like your dad did with you..sure wish you could bring up videos of you and roland fishing when you were little..priceless
What are your favorite bank fishing lures?? I'd love to know! 👊🏼
My wife and I would love to come fish with you and learn different fishing techniques on how to catch fish
Wacky rig
Worms and frogs
I like the banditer bug and boilies 😂
Mondo worm bandido bug and a frog
Can you do a video on what rods,reels, and line are best for different situations?
Dude we need this more than you know! I don’t have a boat but my dream will come true one day! Thanks for your tips man! We get years and years of experience from the best fisherman on the planet, just clicking the computer! Thanks a lot for all you do dude!

Agreed love his videos
The bandito bug has been without a doubt the most productive bank fishing lure I've used in a long time here in SE PA. So, thanks for that! 👍
My favorite bank fishing lure is the Stanley Jigs Top Toad with a weightless frog hook. I've gotten great fish (fishbrain mathewburch) on it. 8 lbs 15 oz and a 9 lbs 10 oz. It's a great topwater dinner bell.

Love your videos. We are Crappie fishermen but y’all make us want to go bass fishing.
My newest favorite bank fishing rig is a modified Carolina Rig. I use a bobber stopper on the front and the back of the weight, so if I wanna make it a Texas Rig, I just slide it down. Been killin' it at my local fisheries with it this summer.
Frog, creature bait, and chatter or spinner bait are my top 3 pond baits
Fished a chatterbait with the bandito bug off an pier and caught a keeper largemouth. Great tips Scott, keep them coming!
I just finished watching a video of your father and now watching your video. The day is good here lol.
Great video. Thanks for helping out the new guy.
When he said “they all climb on you .... then they go.. ATTACK” 😂😂😂
one thing and one thing only I frickin appreciate you cause I don't know what to do while bank fishing, thank you:)
Love me the Yoto Worm from 10,000 fish! That thing is versatile and just slays! Drop shot, swim bait, Texas rig, it does it all and does it good
Great video Scott!! Congrats and always your fan.

Hi Scott, new to the channel and bass fishing....would love to see a video on how you determine what lures to use during different weather, water color/clarity, and in what order you try different lures. Thanks!

Preciate the bank video scott.
Oh yeah, he got it! That was cool.
Swim baits, would love to see a video on that. absolutely love your videos love the educational part, you know how to describe it in a down to earth way, swim baits have been my Achilles’ heel would love to see a video
I also like using a swim jig with a trailer on it and a chatterbox with trailor.
Great video. I shared it to Facebook
Scott love that Intro keep the great videos coming

I haven’t caught many bass in my life but I’ve only caught 2 fish on a chatterbait one was 7 and the other is my PB a 8.3
Wow! I learned so much!
Awesome tips. Around my area in NC, when in doubt or the bite slows down at a pond, wacky rig or Texas rig weightless senko. Enjoying the series 👍
Thank you for these how to videos, just picked up fishing. Could you do more how to videos? Lure baits in particular.
"Lure baits"? You realize that makes zero sense, right?
Keep killing it man grate video!! God bless
Good info brother I’m fixin to rig up a chatter bait and a jig for tomorrow morning 🤙🏼
So is it because of the casting reel it makes it go out farther without a weight?
Can you do a video on how to read the graph? What makes you fish out deep instead of banks
Great video. Thanks 🤠 Michigan Old Michigan Fisherman.
Green pumpkin Sencos Texas rig, Bandbito bug texas rig, and a crank bait
I recommend you to my friends who are just getting started love the channel
Awesome, Thanks so much!! Hopefully these “How to” vids help. 🤙🏼
Scott Martin they do I sent this one and the worm fishing one to him and he will fish and and watch at the same time
Hey Scott first of all thanks for being so informative and willing to share techniques. We catch some slobs here in central FL but could you shed some light on fishing lipless cranks through grass? Keep it up bro you're vids are much appreciated. Thanks brotha
That’s a good suggestion! Thanks👊🏼👊🏼
@@ScottMartinChallenge Thanks man....Im starting to fish tourneys so a good plan on tournaments would be a good one as well. 👊
I love a Frog 🐸 nothing beats a top water blow up!!!
Love the videos!! Keep them coming!!!
Can you show us how to fish big swimbaits from shore as well? Love the video👍
Helpful vid and great vid
This was very helpful, also can do a video on how to catch them on a jig from the bank.
You are so lucky you got that Jackhammer back haha. I live in North FL and I can't even tell you how many lures (esp top water lures) I've lost to gators. The blow ups are epic and at first you think you've hit the jackpot until you see what's on the end of your line, lol. Most of the time, they end up breaking off.
Hey man, I'm from Maryland would these same techniques apply in this area as far as ponds and reservoirs
Scott thanks do you have any tips for me on what to throw on a muddy bottom bass pond with a lot of timber in it?
Love your vids dude
Luv ur vids keep it up
Nice snagless Bandito Bug tip Scott.✔
Have you tried using portable fish finders Lucky
My favorite bass fishing lure is the chatter bait
Would like to see some topwater frog tips!
Love the tips
