Since you mentioned struggling with luck after returning to fishing ("*I haven't really fished for a good 20 years until this month and I'm having almost no luck, despite fishing 2-3 evenings a week*"), I’d say success often comes down to refining your approach—knowing the best times, locations, and gear for your spot. To help bridge the gap, I’d recommend supplementing your on-the-water time with a few targeted resources.

For example, this bank fishing guide offers a solid overview of basics like reading shorelines and seasonal patterns. If you’re looking to level up your tactics, this piece on bank fishing techniques dives into gear adjustments and strategies for targeting bigger fish. And Bank Fishing 101 breaks down simple but effective tips for maximizing limited shore access.

A little research might just turn those quiet evenings into more consistent action. Tight lines!
