MASTER Dock Skipping Bass Like Gerald Swindle | 18 Surefire Tips‼️

[@randyhoobler9654]

GMAN IS AN ICON! Love this guys energy and enthusiasm!

[@LarryMazar]

The best in depth full explanation of skipping ever. He covered ALL aspects of skipping as only the G-Man can. Thanks!

[@Tdubya48]

"Respect my Autoritay!!!!" Great thing about G-Man, he is an excellent speaker and is hilarious to boot. Love to watch him!

[@jeremyrocher8899]

I’m 47 and haven’t really bass fished since I was younger. So to say I’ve just really started bass fishing. This is probably the best skipping video I’ve watched. Thanks for all the good info.

[@Kadjain3]

It’s hard to watch some videos because people aren’t talking to educate, they’re talking to show off how much they know. It’s easy to watch your vids. Thanks, bro

[@Ttschirky]

Gettin “flustrated” learnin. Gonna keep practicing. Great video

[@connorscuriosity3520]

This information is immensely useful. I'm joining my high school fishing team this year and one of our lakes will be cedar creek reservoir and if you can't skip boat docks you're at a disadvantage! I just tried this for the first time on a small stock tank with modest success. Yeah, it's on my channel! I appreciate all the tips. Have a great week!

[@Wired2Fish]

Congratulations on getting up and running with high school angling, and thanks for checking out this content. It's an excellent tutorial for sure. Keep at it on all fronts Connor -- fishing, KZbin, etc.!

Great tips Gerald is a legend 👏

This is the single greatest fishing how-to video ever made

I could listen to GMAN talk all day , good stuff!!

[@trevorschneiderfishing]

Gerald thanks for the info. Has anyone ever said you and Matthew McConaughey sound similar?

[@bmurr7]

They oughta have G-Man start doing Toyota ads like the Mathew McConaughey Lincoln ads...

[@michaelloucks4448]

I hear you Mr Miller that Guy is just awesome. Hey Mr Miller is really funny he's got an excellent personality. GOD bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike from Missouri. Ps hey Mr Miller I'm moving to Texas in two months you think I'm going to catch a big bass.

By far the best skipping video I have ever seen g is the man and tells it like it is! A lot goes into this technique awesome video G

[@Wired2Fish]

We appreciate it Chad. He managed to go steady for 25 minutes straight! Just a GMAN brain dump, but he just keeps dropping nuggets.

[@johnky100]

Da skip-to-mie-Lou legend. I saw one of his skippin vid a few yrs ago. Got motivated and made it out to the lake. 1st cast skippin: POOF massive bird nest. Spent 10 mins fixin da nest. That was da last time I tried skippin.

[@austinroy6576]

G-man dropping that knowledge one of the best fisherman out there

[@Davvid1]

Thank you so much. This is really good info. And you hit on things I've done it do. And the reasoning why and why not makes total sense. Again thank you

[@johnpetrea]

Thank You, Mr. Swindle!!

Thoroughly enjoyed Gmans attitude and antics since meeting him in Richmond. Love to see more how to videos from a hilarious guy. THANKS GMAN!

[@johnwheeler5916]

Lol that flustrated gets me every time

[@Ripnlips83]

Awesome video! I do wish he went over the step by step mechanics of the cast

[@bmclegg1]

Gman has been around for a long time in bass fishing he knows what he’s talking about.

[@LowBrowFishing]

It took me a long time to figure out how to skip properly. Most importantly, I had to find what works for me. It's not about showboating, it's about putting your bait back farther than other baits have been. I started with a worm and worked from there. I suggest if you're new to skipping, go out on a body of water, any water, and practice. Use a fluke or a wacky rig to start. Don't have 30,000 feet of line hanging off the end. Keep the line kind of close until you figure out the mechanics and then back it off slowly. Think slingshot.

[@scottvaughn9565]

[@manifestgtr]

It’s probably not perfect for beginners but my absolute favorite skipping rod is my conquest 844c (the 844c isn’t just a $700 conquest taper/power…loomis offers it in a few of their lines). But that mbr taper allows you to absolutely rocket your jig, etc. with minimal effort. What everyone says about your brakes is 100% true…don’t max out your brakes. Treat it like any other casting technique and just use your thumb for control, that’s all. It’s not that difficult…if an idiot like me can do it, *anyone* can do it.

[@1MoreFish]

Man, I just love learning from the G Man. My new term is "lumpy water". Learned a lot from this and it will be my go-to video for tuning my skipping technique,

[@Wired2Fish]

Thank man. Real happy to hear this. Swindle is a fishing teaching savant for sure.

[@anglingadventureswithjim9094]

OMG GMan. Seriously!!! This is so good. No Great! Thanks.

[@clintonbruning]

This was an awesome video. I have noticed the bow of the boat height matters a lot too. It’s way easier when you’re in a fiberglass boat because they sit lower than say the 12 foot vhull i use which sits higher. Keep your trolling motor as close to flush mounted to the boat as you can get too.

[@nickforest]

Great stuff! I’m just a beginner but the information I’ve gained from this video is awesome!

[@Wired2Fish]

This is what we love hearing. Thanks for watching. You'll be skipping like G in no time!

I really appreciate your Video a lot of great information keep them coming 👍

[@Wired2Fish]

Thanks, will do Malcolm. We appreciate you watching.

[@bzi9935]

Yo Gman, the only thing moving on a cast is the spool. The gears have absolutely nothing to do with the cast only when reeling. The Spool "Free Spools" on a cast, meaning it is free to spin on it own. You still Da Man man tho Brotha!!!

[@rebas04]

Wow, what an awesome educational video, one of the best. Thank you

Respect my authority, Fish.

[@Lextauph]

I have been practicing skipping for the past month on my pond outside. Ive used my daiwa tatula sv tw on a kaden 713, a curado dc on a st croix mojo bass 7' medium and then a curado bfs on a sierra 700c. From these I really felt the rod speed made so much difference. I will perfectly skip like 6/10 casts on the sierra that has a lot more flex then the mojo bass like 4/10 then the kaden like 2/10. At this point for me the skipping is more dependant on the rod.

[@tablerockkid8237]

Yep, now it is time to try it some more since the ice is thawed. 😛😛

[@stoneysdead689]

It's all down to how you skip I guess- watch Steve Rogers skip and notice he's using an extra fast rod- which is what he recommends for skipping. He does caution you that you need one with a god flexible, crisp tip but, he likes extra fast.

[@muskietime]

Excellent G-Man Tutorial. That lake looks so beautiful and peaceful….and very expensive! Hell, I’d be happy living in one of those 2-story the boathouses! Any idea which lake this video was filmed on? Be well.

[@jarrodbriggs8246]

Ok just wondering about the rod. I know he said 7’3 med heavy with a shorter butt on it. So I see the rod bending like a whip with a 3/8 oz jig on it. I guess the action and the lure weight for the rod would be a major factor as well. Awesome video guys a badass.

My only critique would be to use left handed reels. I’m right handed but reacting to a strike or dancing with the cast, why you switching hands?

[@jamesbarron1202]

Why would gear ratio have anything to do with accuracy and backlashing. The gears have nothing to do with the spool during a free spool cast. After you engage the handle after the cast to start the retrieve, only then do the gears go into effect. He'd have to explain that one to me.

[@frantyf]

Totally agree. I netiher can understand why he says that...

[@corysturgis6660]

Even of what you say is true which makes since, its his way of explaining why he prefers the 6.8.
