Early Summer Bank Fishing: McDonald’s Bait, Texas Rig Bass & Budget Lure Tips

Fishing With McDonalds! Will McDonalds Hamburgers Catch Fish?

Ever tried fishing with fast food? I’m out on the bank with a McDonald’s hamburger bun I found on my car floor, testing if it’ll catch fish. After peeling off the wrapper, I’ve got a quarter bun with some ketchup and mustard vibes—might help attract bites. I molded it around a small hook on my ultralight setup, though it’s tricky to keep on. Success! I landed three big Bluegill—a seven, eight, and nine-incher. If you’re out of bait and hungry for fish, McDonald’s works in a pinch!

The ultralight rig made it fun, and those Bluegill hit hard despite the bun falling apart. No Catfish showed up, but these panfish made the challenge worth it. Perfect for bank anglers looking for a cheap, creative way to fish, especially when you’re out of worms. Ever tossed fast food for fish? What’s the weirdest bait you’ve tried?

McDonald’s Bait Results:

• Hamburger Bun: Caught seven-, eight-, and nine-inch Bluegill.
• Ultralight Setup: Key for finesse fishing with tricky bait.

Things Are Changing Fast! Early Summer Bass Fishing From Shore

Early summer’s shaking things up on the bank—green slime’s creeping in, making Ned Rigs a mess to fish. Still, I worked a Ned Rig under some trees and hooked a quarter-pound Largemouth Bass. Switched to a Texas-rigged Baby Brush Hog and landed a much better Bass—almost two pounds! As spring shifts to summer, both rigs are staples for bank anglers, but the Texas Rig’s winning with less slime hassle.

The slime’s a pain, but sticking to shaded spots like tree lines kept the bites coming. The Ned Rig got that small Bass, but the Baby Brush Hog’s action drew the bigger one. Early summer’s tricky, so adapting your rig to conditions is key for bank fishing. What’s your go-to lure when slime hits your bank spots?

Early Summer Breakdown:

• Ned Rig: Quarter-pound Largemouth Bass, despite slime.
• Texas Rig Baby Brush Hog: Near two-pound Bass, cleaner casts.
• Tree Lines: Best spots to dodge slime buildup.
• Adapt Rigs: Switch to Texas Rigs for less mess.
