I love fishing for skips at the falls! Great Video!

[@thebumpchannel]

Same here! Thx for watching!

[@michaeltaylor9316]

You're in my fishing spot. I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm down there.

[@thebumpchannel]

Which spot, lol. Yeah wish the water would drop.

[@michaeltaylor9316]

@@thebumpchannel Both the Mcalpine dam and the hydro dam. Water starting to come down a little bit but still has a way to go.

Great video good job!!

[@thebumpchannel]

Thx, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Guycrw]

Great video I’ve used these tactics you shown for a couple months now and they work great. I use an ultra light rod and the double ups pull like a striper

[@thebumpchannel]

Good to hear! What river or area do you fish?

[@Guycrw]

@@thebumpchannel East Tennessee dams. I’ve caught 60 in a day where it’s notoriously overfished

Where are you fishiing?

[@williammiller4973]

When is the best time of year to fish the falls for skipjacks? Great video

[@thebumpchannel]

spring is probably best. .

[@adriennemcghee2566]

What size hook were you using?

[@thebumpchannel]

It varies depending on the sabiki rig presentation/size. Some as small as size 6 up to say a 1/0. Check out the link in description to get an idea. I was catching on both the largest size and the one's in in the middle of the size range in this video.

[@kkutube1972]

Thanks, now I know what type of fish are and why I never caught them.

[@thebumpchannel]

Thx for watching!

[@ocshaman7323]

What power rod are you using?

[@thebumpchannel]

MEDIUM or MEDIUM HEAVY. Used both in this video I believe. Added link to the medium heavy rod in description above. I prefer that action and length (7ft medium heavy) especially when you get a double...though the other rod I brought that day was a 6ft medium setup.

[@ocshaman7323]

I’ve got a 7ft. MH I will try when chasing skips. Liked an UL for yellow bass at Salato in Frankfort. But only #8 hooks.

[@jerrelbaker5334]

Where were you fishing?

[@thebumpchannel]

Ohio river.

[@JackLanterns]

Anyone know why mcalpine dam bridge to this area is temporarily closed to public? Having hard time finding information

[@thebumpchannel]

I believe initially due to COVID and associated parks closings March/April of 2020. Then they kept it closed when repairs started on the locks. I hope it opens back up to the public, but not sure if it will or not. adairvoice.com/corps-to-close-day-use-recreational-areas-postpone-campground-openings/ www.waterwaysjournal.net/2020/07/02/louisville-engineer-district-closes-mcalpine-north-lock-for-repairs/

[@JackLanterns]

@@thebumpchannel I'll have my fingers crossed, appreciate the information and links!

[@johnmcook1]

What if i said there are way easier ways to get buckets of skips in no time.

[@thebumpchannel]

I'll bite.....

[@ericcrawford6646]

Gar, caught a bunch of em on sabikis.

[@thebumpchannel]

What river do you fish?

[@ericcrawford6646]

@@thebumpchannel I'm on the Mississippi, and Missouri. I fish out of a red Lowe bass boat. I usually put in at Maple island.
