So...what's up with the site?

TexasBankFishing.com is alive and well! So where's all the new content? I keep wondering that as well. We get ALOT of visitors to the site but no one wants to write any articles for the site. So why don't you write an article? Doesn't have to be perfect, doesn't have to be about fishzilla, it could just be about a recent outing. Did you catch a mess of Fall perch? Let's hear about it! Did you catch a nice sized Carp preparing for the coming spawn? Let's hear about it!

What about me TBF? Well, I haven't been doing as much fishing as I'd like to due to this thing called "work". But my work is somewhat seasonal so I should back on our lakes and rivers very soon. In the mean time, please, if you want to help grow the site please consider adding an article or maybe a photograph of one of your favorite catches?

GET INVOLVED!

This site is for you, the Texas Bank Fishing Angler.

Just a quick tip for some good bait ideas the next time your significant other takes you grocery shopping. ;)

  • Sweet Corn - Ideal for Carp and Buffalo.
  • Red Creme Soda & Sugar Frosted Flakes - Buffalo will love you.
  • Old Shrimp - Talk to the butcher and see if they can sell you some old shrimp. Works good for cats.
  • Ham, Baloney - Great for panfish in little sections.
  • Crackers - Crumble em up and use it for panfish chum.
  • Catfood - Smash it up and use it as general chum.
  • Bacon - Small sections for panfish and cats.
  • Banana Muffins - Carp, Buffalo love em. And so will you. ;)
  • White Bread - Dip it the lake water, roll a ball, catch a fish.
  • Sugar Pops Cereal - Great for Carp fishing.
  • Fresh Fish/Shrimp - Try a variety of items here.
  • Spam - Oh yes, small chunks on the hook work great for anything. Including lunch.
  • Cheese - Try a small block of cheese. Small sections on the hook. Cats love it!
  • Liver, Gizzards, etc. - Work good for cats. Let them sit in the sun for a bit before use.

    • See? Going grocery shopping can be fun after all. :) lol..
