Parallel Casting along a pond bank

[samuraisam]

Ok, heres the deal. I sometimes fish a sweet little pond. I have seen some bass along the bank in some cattails and other cover thrashing around and stirring up some food. The pond is shaped irregularly. No boats of any kind are allowed. I have tried casting to the bass and just can not seem to get my cast parallel enough to the bank to get close to them. Any suggestions/techniques for casting parallel to the bank? I know if I could present to the bass and reel in close to them I could slay 'em, just can't figure out quite how to cast to them. I hope I explained well enough and can get some help here. Regards, Samurai.
