Video: 6 Money-saving Hacks for Bank Fishing

If you want to save a few bucks, it’s very hard to argue with fishing from the bank. You get to avoid all the costs associated with owning and operating a boat, while the only downside money-wise is that you may lose a few more lures—a fair enough trade.

However, bank fishing requires a little bit more experience when it comes to finding prime fishing locations. You aren’t going to be able to reach the same areas that boat anglers are going to be able to, so that may mean buying some more specialized equipment. Or you can try out these money-saving hacks that will teach you how to build a $1 depth finder, cast accurately every time with a line clip and some sticks, protect your line from the elements with nothing more than a paperclip, and more.

If you’re an avid bank fisherman, than you’d probably already know most of these. Still, this video is more than worth a watch and you may pick up some interesting tips. Such as carrying Windex around for a very good reason.
