This Is WHY You Fish BIG Glide Baits In The Summer!

Summertime is one of my favorite times of the year due to the fish being shallow and aggressive! This time of the year, fishing glide baits are a great way to cover a lot of water and get some exciting bites along the way! Today, we head out in search of an early morning glide bait bite!

[@crazybassfisher]

I have the regular spool on it, I use 16-20lb flouro. I bought the reel knowing I wasn’t gonna be fishing deep or anything and it holds enough line to make a far cast and be comfortable

[@blacknbluecollarreader]

Excellent video man......I purchased a Claw 178 SS. I see that you were kinda reeling faster. Any tips on how to fish this thing? It kinda noses down. Do you through twitches in there? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

[@crazybassfisher]

I do very short fast glides on the bait. The bait was designed to have a more nose down glide which I like cause it allows the bait to get to a perfect depth without having to turn it into a slow sink. I use the floating model on mine btw

[@alexm1841]

Anyone who wakes up before 4am to go fishing is a friend of mine lol

[@ryanschembri4139]

good vibes in these vids, any tips for throwing a glide bait in 2-5 feet of water?

[@crazybassfisher]

Thanks for watching! Get a floater glide and fish it around any cover that could have deep water access. In your case, find a piece of cover or structure in 2-3’ where it might drop off to 4-5’ close by

[@ryanschembri4139]

@@crazybassfisher fasho, im gonna try that next time im out on the delta

[@PiperFishing]

Hey Geoff, I wanted to ask what kind of clips you trust for your big baits? I think I saw you using a Decoy egg snap.

[@BIGFISHSYNERGY]

Geoff, this is sick!!! Is this the floating 178? It looks like you upgraded to 3x hooks to change the sink rate to more of a suspend/heavy float type thing. I could be totally mistaken though! lol. Any insight would be most appreciated. I've been throwing the 178F a lot recently in NJ with Zappu suspend strips and man, it's such an interesting bait. Nothing swims like it. Thanks for the vid, man!

[@crazybassfisher]

Yes, it’s the floating 178, those hooks are actually light hooks, size 2 Owner ST 45, I don’t change the sink rate on the bait due to how the bait will nose down and get down to the key 1-3’ range in the water. I fish it fast so no need to worry about slow glides and it rising to the surface too quick

[@Smallmouthnation]

🔥🔥

[@crazybassfisher]

Thanks for watching!🤟

[@WarpLoTFFA]

where do you get those big snaps? ... and what is your go-to/confidence glide ? thanks

[@crazybassfisher]

The Hook Up Tackle is where I get my terminal tackle from. My go to glide is either the Hinkle trout or the K9, everytime I fish them, I just expect to get bites

[@MBR843]

Hi, how do you straighten the plastic tails on those Gan Craft swimbaits?

[@joecalio6489]

Fun video.. thanks for taking us along.. but you know the best reason to wake up that early is to yank the fish swimming in your head.. you know where they are staged .. I know you gotta go!

[@crazybassfisher]

Thanks for watching!🔥

[@maxcole3930]

Nice fish bro! I'm sure loosing the last one hurt but it happens at least you landed a couple... I've been fishing big soft baits for while now going into my 3rd yr with them. I only have an ISlide 135 for glide baits. I know big glide baits that are good are not cheap! What 7-10" glide baits would you recommend??

[@crazybassfisher]

Try the Arashi glide, Savage gear Shine Glide, Gan Craft 178, Baitsanity explorer and antidote glide would be a handful off the top of my head that would be good glides to start with!

[@maxcole3930]

@@crazybassfisher thanks a appreciate it, I actually did have the big savage gear shine glide & I did throw it alot, I never had a follower or bite or anything then I broke it hitting some rocks. So I don't have it anymore. I wasn't sure if it was because was cheap glide bait? Mine never swam very well. I've caught ton fish on ISlide 135 & my big soft baits. I was looking more into a quality glide like gan craft or something like that. I know thier exspensive but you get what you pay for most of the time

[@andybales7318]

Big Glide Baits= serious lure addiction.. it's a sickness & the best remedy is to buy another 1! Gancraft is a great bait...don't thinking have the floating version...yet 😆 next purchase, I may try the 13 fishing Glidesdale for $20...likely not in the Gancraft, megabass, deps league of baits, but probably catches fish & for $20 worth adding to the collection...u still using fluoro? Monofilament is the only line I trust on big baits with trebles

[@carlospalomino6928]

what JC 178 do you use the ss or float? and what color is the one you are using.

[@crazybassfisher]

I only use the floater, the color is a limited ayu color, forgot the exact name, maybe saiko ayu?

[@seannolan4186]

Crazybassfisher are you getting the new deps Giragira?

[@my71chevro1et]

You've mentioned before that you often get the floating model GanCrafts and tune them... can I convince you to share how you like to tune them for summer fishing? hooks / rings / weight distribution / etc...

[@crazybassfisher]

Lately, I actually don’t tune them. I leave them stock, they are a slow float so they actually work for me really well. You can definitely add Zappu board weights and tune them to suspend or be a slow sink though.

[@my71chevro1et]

@@crazybassfisher yep, cool, thanks. The 178F and a suspend-tuned 230F have been doing work for me for a couple seasons. Looked like STY-35MF hooks on your bait...

[@Fishing_DeJarnett]

Hey man, I am down in Florida and getting into glidebait fishing. Do you have any tips for fishing big glidebaits over offshore grass of deep flats (12-15 feet)? Thank you for any help you can give on this topic!

[@crazybassfisher]

It’s definitely a bit harder than just throwing a soft bait over the grass but I know of a guy named Kieth out in Florida and he does good luck throwing the Deps 250 and Klash baits over grass. He seems to always keep the bait as close to the grass as possible without ever hooking it. I believe he treats it like fishing a wall where the closer to the ambush spot, the better. The fish will come up and hit your bait in that depth so keeping the bait high won’t hurt either

[@Fishing_DeJarnett]

@@crazybassfisher Thank you for the help! I am gonna give them another go the next time I go out and dedicate some serious time to it.

[@KeithRedd]

what is the clip on the Gancraft?

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

There’s is so much fri I the ponds it makes it really hard to catch Bass, I believe it’s night fishing time 🤷

[@morganvanschuyver]

Don't know what part of the country you're in but yes the night bite is better than the morning or day bite. The big girls always come out at night, even more so in highly pressured fisheries. My favorite night bite is during a full moon night on a top water wakebait like a bull Rat or something of similar nature.

[@crazybassfisher]

Night fishing is a great way to catch fish and big ones too!

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

@@morganvanschuyver Morgan to be completely honest in my 46 years of fishing,my favorite time to fish is at night but for me I hate the full moon,I’ll take the first and third and between 10pm to 2am is when I caught most of my biggest 🏆 and I live in (Massachusetts) so I have limited months to be able to night fish,and go to bait is Spro BBZ50 Rat,Love that bait and it’s affordable like $30-$35 buck ❤️🤙

Badass!!! Need some help....I have a shit ton of glide baits and have never had any success with em. I mainly target fishing stripe bass. In your video I paid close attention to your retrieve speed and it fluctuated. I noticed when you were near the tires and the cliff that you were swimming the glide bait and sometimes with a twitch. and when you fished the dicks and the marina in your short you fished it very slow. (I mainly do)....what am I doing wrong? thanks
