I like to walk the banks along the canals. The river has very little
accessible bank fishing. There is some on Mittry Lake, and a little on
Squaw and Fergusaon Lakes.

Sometimes it's just a pain to put the boat in the water if you just have
an hour or two, so I do alot of bank fishing. I'm lucky to live less
than a mile from two great fisheries...Kentucky, and Barkley lakes. And
both of them have litterally hundreds of miles of open shoreline...not
always easy access, but that is what makes it so good. There are
hundreds of creek channels, and many points that you can get to if you
don't mind a little walk. I keep the tackle in the little red truck now
that spring is really here, and often I will just hit an area and fish
for a half hour or so ( mostly areas my nephew has shared with me, he
knows these lakes, grew up here ). I always use my little spinning rig
when bank fishing, I like the versatility of it....course I do lose a
few fish, and a few lures, but that's what it's all about .
My competitive days are over (I leave that to the younger crew), so now
it's just enjoying the fishing....don't get me wrong, I will get
competitive if "you" and me ever hook up grin. I stopped by a favorite
spot this afternoon...about 45 minutes, just caught one smallie, about a
pound, but a great hours fun!
I mostly do finess stuff from the bank, but ocassionally trick a few
with top water once in a while.
Do any of ya that own the "big" boats ever just walk the bank when you
have a few minutes to wet a line?
