What a video!! Just watched the whole version on bass u. I think I'm the guy in the ranger fishing that spot near where swindle is. I'm out there almost every day learning. Learned more in this hour than I have in a while. Thank you bass u and swindle.
Awesome job on the ledge fishing demonstration! Love to see you up in Northern Michigan doing some videos. Those smallmouth are calling your name brother. Tight lines from R & J Bass Fishing
I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but we may have a video of another fan favorite ripping some lips on smallmouth up North in some upcoming on-the-water videos. Stay tuned at bassu.tv
That damn spoon fishing is a hell of alot harder then it looks dude. I was fishing a 6 inch Nichols today off end of a dock that comes close to a steep rock bank, perfect set up for ambushing shad coming through that pinch point but any way. I was using a Phoenix 7'3" mh rod that I use for jigs and big worms and I hung 3 or 4 something's probably striper or catfish by how heavy they felt and everyone of em got off after about 4 5 cranks on my reel. I was using 17 pound invisx but it must not have been enough or rod was too light or something idk. Couldn't keep em hooked up. Had a brand new owner hook, swivel and stinger hook too
So what size line do you prefer when spoon fishing the James Watson spoon or other bigger flutter spoons? I fish extremely clear waters here in the upstate of South Carolina at Lake Jocassee but I want enough so I’m not breaking off.
Cast up-current and fish with your lure moving with the current. Predators sit with their nose facing the current to ambush food coming with the current, and that's where you want your lure.
This video is only about 10% of the full video. I don't remember if he tells the exact model of the rod, but there's certainly a lot more information in the full video at bassu.tv/bass-fishing-video/gerald-swindles-summer-ledge-fishing-techniques
As he points out in the full 1 hour video, some baits like crankbaits and spoons aren't suited for eelgrass. In the full video, Gerald also talks about why they are biting the spoon in this clip, so it may not always be the right choice.
OMG...the world is a poorer place for this guy not putting out his own UA-cam channel. If I can watch some of the Googan dorks for tips I'd watch Swindle all damn day.
"Crack got my uncle Ronnie but speed kills summertime fishing".. LoL! Ol' backwoods humor at it's finest!

I hit the like button and wrote this before even watching it. G MAN! 🤘
Thanks g man hope you win someday
You tha Man G👍🎣
What cranking rod is that?
Cast with the current? So you want your lure to swim against the current? Or cast up current so your lure is flowing with the current towards you?
Cast up-current and fish with your lure moving with the current. Predators sit with their nose facing the current to ambush food coming with the current, and that's where you want your lure.
The Bass University thank you 🙏
I’d like to meet this Uncle Ronny, he sounds like a blast...
I like this guy
I can rip a spoon with the best of them, but still good info.
He’s the 🐐
"Sounds like Peter T running wind sprints" lmao 😂😂😂
"Crack got my uncle Ronnie,but speed kills" 😂😂😂
He the man
G man what kind of rod is that your throwing that crankbait on?
Is this a new rod that is not released that?
I need to know what type of rod this is. It's like a whip.

Crack got my uncle but speed kills fish lmao
Try a spoon! Got it 😀
