Bank Fishing Normandy Lake

Hello all,

Visiting some family for a few days who lives very close to what I believe is referred to as the Fire Lake boat ramp. I am planning on doing some fishing from the bank over the next few days and was wondering what everyone would recommend using as a lure?

Is it a complete waste of time trying to catch anything from the shore?

I assume mornings and night are best...

Appreciate any help and recommendations!
