    Great info Edwin and Andy!! Edwin, I love ALL of your content...very informative and entertaining! This happens to be one of the techniques that I have forced myself to learn this year and two additional helpful tips are 1) before you start skipping, cast your lure out really far and as you reel it in, put your rod tip in the water so the line and your thumb and fingers get wet...2) raise your rod tip as your bait starts to skip. For whatever reason, both of these tips, along with pretty much everything Andy said, have helped me learn to skip a jig. Now, any tips on skipping a hollow body frog??

      12-17lbs test and the reel settings should be set so you can still get your normal flipping distance. If you put too much brakes then you have to throw the lure harder which causes more backlashes. Plus if you're going down the bank and don't need to skip your lure and want to flip or pitch it you won't need to change the reel settings and be inefficient. Hope that helps

  • @actright52

    Where do you position yourself on the deck to be able to avoid things like the trolling motor while making the cast? I'm a shorter guy with a 17 ft tracker boat, and how do you determine which way to position the boat either parallel or perpendicular to the target?

    • @Richard-mj5dp
      @Richard-mj5dp 3 роки тому

      My humble opinion, I’ve found that a 7’3” rod to help me avoid the trolling motor a lot more and I don’t lose accuracy. Also step forward closer to the trolling motor to avoid hitting it. I bought a 6’10” dobyns skipping rod after watch a 100 Andy Montgomery videos. I skip great with it but I have to be mindful of the trolling motor, more so than with a longer rod.

    *Maybe if someone is going through the frustrations I went through, my experience will help.* A million skipping videos, and VERY few of them are this good. For those still struggling with this technique, it makes one of the most important statements in learning how to skip a bait (along with jig weight/preparation/rigging).. *"Release the bait as close to the water, as humanly possible, and let it travel parallel to your target".* The only other piece of info I'd add is making sure your reel isn't too full. In my case, it didn't REALLY start to click until *AT LEAST 1/8th"* of space was left on my spool. I have a specific setup set aside for this, because I like spooling my reels almost entirely full. And, to this day I can't get that to work for skipping. *But, something that made a dramatic difference was practicing "hover" casting. That, in and of itself, will get you 90% of the way there....at least it did in my case.* In my case, I tried learning it backwards, and it was not only pointless, but excruciatingly frustrating. All I did was wind up with HUGE backlashes almost EVERY cast (literally), because I was letting the bait hit the water WAY too soon, and casting WAY too hard, simply to try and get the bait to skip at ALL. I was thinking if I could get the bait to skip, I could perfect it the distance/accuracy after the fact. *BIIIIG MISTAKE....and I completely missed the entire point of the technique.*
    I got so frustrated, and discouraged that I just decided to try and perfect the "hover" casting part of this technique, to the point to where I could do it second nature, and could get the bait to hover the surface, and enter the water 50'-70' away, without barley making a ripple. I figured if I could just get consistently get the bait to hover 1-2" above the water, I'd accomplish the same goal, even if the bait didn't skip. *That eventually turned into skipping by accident, just trying to get the bait to hover as close to the surface of the water, as possible, without anywhere NEAR the frustrations/backlashes. Worst case scenario is that my bait was 12" above the water (instead of 2") and made a little bigger splash at my target.* I wish someone had taught it to me that way back when I was trying to learn this technique. Just giving my respectful two-cents, given had I approached this technique a little differently, with a couple key pieces of info, almost all of which are in this video, I would have learned this 100x's faster.
    *A big thank you to Edwin for sharing a great resource/friend with us. This was excellent.👍

    Great video! I'm just beginning to learn skipping and suck! In fact I had gotten so burned out about two years ago I couldn't even make myself try fishing for bass. On 4/10/24 I forced myself to try again throwing a Gary Yamamoto Senko 5" worm at the bank around overhangs and lay downs. I was so discouraged I almost quit in the first five minutes. But, suddenly I felt a bump on a cast. Like a pup hearing a strange noise my heart felt a little excited. I kept trying for a few minutes and hooked a decent bass. I didn't get it in the boat but it did heighten my hopes. Over the next hour I did catch two more 12-14" fish. But, my casting sucked! I couldn't get my baits where I thought was best and definitely not under the overhangs or in tight spots. After watching your video, I'm going to try to improve my skipping skills in hopes of at least gaining more confidence. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts!

    After the gun fight that broke out on the St. John's River yesterday- I don't think I'll be skipping under pontoons anymore. I rarely get it right, usually hit the pontoon or the boat- and I don't want to be shot. I don't think that's what happened- but I didn't get the details- all I know is two or more boats opened fire on one another and I think a couple guys got hit. There were helicopters there I think to take someone to the hospital- could've just been the police looking into the case further- Idk.
