Struggling To Catch Fish On Glide Baits? Try These Tips And Tricks! Ft Manny Chee!

Glide bait fishing has been a huge staple in my fishing for more than a decade now and I get a lot of questions on how to start catching fish on glides instead of getting followers. So today, I linked up with my buddy Manny Chee to discuss some tips and tricks to help guys catch more fish on glide baits!

I’m 1700 miles away and this video still got me pumped !! We’re just starting to experiment with glides here in Northern Illinois. Thanks for the video !!

[@DersABigBuck]

Im in southern Wi. Any luck on bigger baits in your area?

[@spacecampfishing]

@@DersABigBuck only thing I've had consistent luck has been with a 6-8 inch glide. it has been pretty fun playing with them on the pressured ponds around chicago

[@DersABigBuck]

[@scottspradau3067]

Wind and water temp are very important. Usually the determining factor in my initial bait choice. Warmer/swimbait or colder/surface & glide. Very few bluff walls, so I use weed edges much the same way. Bumping and ripping for reaction strikes. Vermilion is very rocky lake with L&S bass, Pike & Muskies. So I tend to use the wind and slow roll a swimbait, bumping rocky points, saddles, pinch points - any kind of ambush structure.

[@mattthomen1608]

I got a small s waver fish on the trout color, from the bank swimming from off the b ottom of a walmrt pond. I got a garfish about 3 lbs! And I was in my mind doing the slow glide back and forth,and adding a reel pump every so often,and that worked for me,I was shocked...and it started my confidence in my technique! This vid helps to describe the where,and when and what to try for me next! Thx for the tips!🤙🤠👊

[@rayhemmele4915]

Great video guys...the insight you guys give regarding understanding how bass hunt and eliminate escape paths for baitfish is really good...most anglers don't do that.... In golf, people say, "be the ball"....anglers need to say, " be a bass...what presentation is an easy meal?"...

This year i plan on throwing mainly Deps glidebaits when fishing for largemouth. I started swimbaiting in 2004 and gave up on it in 2010. Time to start back up!

[@jcfish6702]

[@robertcooley6977]

[@crazybassfisher]

[@captnse]

Cool video on glides!! 👍🏼 That’s why crankbaits are so effective….bass usually strike them when the lure “deflects” (abruptly changes its course) off/through something, be it a stump, rock, grass, wall, etc….should be no different for a larger bait as a glide bait. Question for you, Geoff or Manny: is adding scent frowned upon when using glides and larger swimbaits, or does it actually make a difference getting a bass to strike these types of lures?

[@crazybassfisher]

Thanks for watching! I only ever use scent on soft baits and I only use it to lube up the bait so when the fish bite it, they can feel what they think is slime. Other than that, scent is never really used, scent can damage certain baits and their paints on glides

[@Straight_Kash]

Would love to hear your experience with Bass and Carp. Seems Carp are far more abundant in most lakes, they obviously eat them but is it a main forage? Are they aggressive towards them when bigger? There are a lot of Carp swimbaits out there.

[@crazybassfisher]

The common conception about bass and carp is that the bass love eating the smaller carp, I personally have never seen a smaller carp but I also have never seen a bass eat or chase a baby carp, it’s honestly a mystery but we just assume for most of it

[@andybales7318]

Any experience with an 8" Hudd ROF 0? I'd think that slowly worked on the surface would be a killer

[@Glock-1]

Hey what do you keep your glides in, I have them in the factory boxes but I want to get something to keep them in.

So I hear there's no trout stockings at Canyon,Saguaro, Apache this year. Do you think they'll still hit trout glides if there's no trout?

[@crazybassfisher]

Yeah, no trout stockings this year, they will still eat a trout glide, but it will most likely slow down later on in the season when the fish start to realize that there isn’t any trout in the water and they start to key in on different forage.

[@DersABigBuck]

I live in southern Wi. Some shad in bigger bodies of water here but otherwise its all gills, shiner, and carp. Any tips on bait size? Ive tried 250's, some success on the 175, nothing on bull shooters. All of my bites that got me into this were on a 4" Cabelas 3d bluegill swimbait when I was younger. Should I drop to that size for the majority of my baits or keep messing with 5-7" baits? Another thing is how do you guys stomach casting something the price of a 250 or greater. I've used them around wood and rock piles but I can't afford to lose something like that lol. Another thing is fishing for smallmouth vs largemouth. I can't seem to catch a largemouth bigger than 14" in any body of water around here. We have ponds with 8-10s in them and I've barely had followers. Smallies on the other hand eat whatever bait I put around them under 7". What do I do to catch largemouth around here?

[@inf_2174]

sometimes it’s about profile if they mostly eat blue gill or shiners then maybe try a wider bait profile or use a blue gill swimbait

[@scottspradau3067]

Big mental money 💵 💴💵 guys! What’s your opinion on pinning to the bottom vs pinning to the surface? Any suggestions for lake vermilion, mn Jeff? Thanks for sharing!

[@crazybassfisher]

Both pinning baits to the bottom and the top of the water are both really important. For me, it depends on the fish behavior as well as water temp. Sometimes the fish want a soft bait on the bottom and sometimes they want that glide high, always changing and trying to adapt to the fish.

[@crazybassfisher]

Fishing for muskie I assume? I don’t know much but learning to find main lake islands that are under the water with good wind seemed crucial to catching fish. Big lake to cover but I’m no expert on that lake haha

[@howcroft22]

Love your videos Geoffrey. Always great. Last year I caught multiple fish and multiple followers just about every trip on glides. But for some reason, this year I’m getting no followers and barely any bites. Tons on wakes, but I don’t know what I changed when it comes to glides. Especially in the fall. I swear the bite is so tough in the fall with glides here in MA. Everyone always talks about the fall being best for glides. I kill them on jerkbaits and keitechs, just not glides.

[@crazybassfisher]

I have had the same response in a couple different places. I truly felt that the fish became wise to the glide pretty quickly. A glide bait isn’t very natural in movement which can become distinct to a fish if shown many of times. After I noticed my particular fish didn’t eat or even follow the glide anymore, I switched to a multi piece bait or rat/wake bait and started catching fish again. A lot of times, the glide will shine for a brief moment, then die off, then start back up. It goes in waves. Try different retrieve speeds and cadences and see if they just bite the lure.

I have this crystal clear pond by my house filled with straight up donkeys. But quite literally has maybe 1 or two pieces of cover. So where do I cast then. If there’s no cover or structure.

[@Gavin4930]

And 3/4 of the year it is completely covered in hydrilla. So the only time I can throw glides is late fall and winter. Grass is the only cover and the only time I can throw a glide is when the grass is gone

[@crazybassfisher]

When it came to fishing ponds with a lot of grass, I tried finding the most open lanes to throw the bait down, always keeping it pretty high in the water column to work above the grass. Try watching how the fish will feed on the main forage and try and replicate that with a glide. When the grass is gone, try fishing the glide basically on the surface out in the middle and the commotion will normally draw the fish up to the surface and there, they will feel more inclined to hit the bait since the surface becomes a pin spot.

[@Gavin4930]

@@crazybassfisher I’ll definitely try throwing out in the open. But when summer comes around there are zero lanes. Just a couple pockets. Across the entire thing. It’s kinda insane. Frogs and punching the pockets is the only thing that works in the summer

Wassup Manny!!! Hey Jeffrey!!! I broke my triple trout I got my PB on from you on my first cast Manny. I suck with the glides..I don't know why in New England we have a either shitty glidebait fisherman, or bad glidebait water.

[@crazybassfisher]

Keep trying with the glides, they may only play a small role but when that bite opens up, it can be killer!

[@troycote4503]

@@crazybassfisher Thanks Jeffrey. Crazy how were the Wakebait capital. Slammers, Pats Perch, various rats, are the staples, with some Hudds, Real Prey, and Burritos falling second and I just don't get why not just me , but probably over 80% of us in the North East barely throw them and I can't figure out why. Ask Manny about the TT he sold me. Not a giant in most of the country, but a 7lber on my first cast an hour after hounding Manny if he sent it in the mail and it's been 3 weeks right after talking to Manny made that fish so special.

Try to focus on getting reaction strikes. When they follow but don't strike, it's because they're just curious and have plenty of time to recognize that it's artificial.
