Question regarding fishing with soft plastics for Flathead

Agreed, I prefer staying off the bank and casting into the shallows while drifting. I find if I cast directly into the bank, while drifting, most of the plastics retrieve will be across, and with the current so they should see it coming. I cast ahead of myself while wading, walking the bank, as on the rising tide the fish will be in 6” of water so you’ll spook them, and not much run that shallow. Shallow hard bodies like the 100 mm bombers are deadly in that situation too
