Again, as always, I don't know EVERYTHING, but I know a heck of a lot more than most people, so when I say something, it's probably at least close to correct. Can you skip a spinnerbait? Well, yeah of course, with a swimbait as the trailer. Can you catch big ones on a weightless lure with light line on a spinning rod? Of course. I am just talking about what I THINK is the best dock lure, which is the jig. There ya go
Tyler, I just wanted to say thanks. You probably have the most informative bass fishing channel on RUclips. As a boy from the mountains of Idaho, I didn’t get a lot of bass fishing in my blood early on. now living in Oregon, I’m trying to learn how to bass. I appreciate everything you’re teaching folks and wanted to say thanks.
Should add a disclaimer “i am Not to be held responsible for any and all boats damaged by beginners trying to skip under docked boats” lol best vid ive seen on skippin
Hey Tyler I'm 55yrs old and I been bass fishing a long time and I'm impressed I've watched your video channel quite a few times hey kid fantastic job teaching us how to be better at skipping docks good camera angle showing us the what it looks like from the other side we were looking at you and you where skipping towards us I like that great job hey Tyler slow down when you're talking don't be so nervous you talk fast great job teaching in all your videos your a very talented young man keep up the great quality videos so I can get as good as you your pal fisherman Mike
Hey Tyler I have the lew's skipping and pitching reel it has a skipping setting on the brake dial so that should help me when I move to table rock lake next month
I was getting skunked today at a local pond so decided practice my skipping. Overall, I had a few minor backlashes, but was successful at getting farther under tree overhangs than in the past. Thanks for the tips.
I like over hanging trees better. When they're like an umbrella over the water, just about six inches from touching the water. Everyone else says, "man I wish I could get a lure under there." And then I just skip one right under.
Your pretty good at skipping docks & good lessons on how to do it, roll casting & lifting up is very important, I will try it next trip, I believe your the 1st person on YT to show how to do it, THANKS👍
I appreciate you showing the backlashes and "bad" skips. So many like to show the "how to", but only show the good ones. It makes it more entertaining, and it helps show people that no one is perfect 100% of the time.
You should try running some top water poppers of of rocky points in mild wind. The bass will go crazy. Also they are good around brushy points as well. Watermelon texas rigged senkos in 8-10ft of water in rocks and ledges are great. Btw surf boat waves make it hard lol. Nice vid
Thanks for the reply dude, my videos aren’t great quality yet but after I can upgrade my equipment hopefully someday I can make videos as high quality as yours.
Tyler, could you please do a comparison of skipping jigs with a curado DC vs a standard baitcaster. This type comparison has not been done and it has never been addressed on you tube. Due to two totally different braking systems, people are confused about the ability of a DC reel to skip as good as a traditional baitcaster brake system.
Hey Tyler can say what kind of lure you use for skipping? I watched the video and I’m going to get the Lews reel but did you say the rod was the Lews 7’4”? I actually just bout one 7’4” and 6’8” Lews tod and a Lews bait caster from Bass Pro Shop. I need a boat lol I’m having a rough time shore fishing. I have two bait casters and neither has caught a fish yet!! Thanks for all your help I’m learning a ton from you!!
I can skip flawlessly on my spinning rods but still having trouble with the baitcasters. Commenting before watching so hopefully I can learn some good stuff.
Hey T, Was just very curious on what settings and spool tension i need to have when trying to skip without having it blow up on me every time. I think you forgot to talk about it in the video. Keep up the good work! I appreciate all the tips and tricks.
Thanks for this vid! I got to try it out this past weekend when I was kayak fishing! I only had one minor backlash (I think that was because I play a lot of disc golf so roll casting was pretty easy), and MAN is skipping fun! Granted, only one dock had a fish hit (2.42 lbs, 19 inches), but I would have NEVER gotten that one if I hadn't skipped it underneath that dock. She was in there super deep!
Great episode 👍👍. I’m motivated now to put in the time to learn to skip well. I expect I’ll be reviewing this video for spot checking my technique. Tight lines.
I would recommend learning to skip with a spinning rod to eliminate backlashes. That’s how I learned how; by skipping mangroves for snook. Now I have learned to skip, jigs, frogs, Texas rigs, etc… and it’s really improved my fishing for many different species
@@TylersReelFishing OK thank you for your reply. What kind are they? Is there a video of you talking bout them? Is there a certain brand that is better than others? Lol. Sorry so many questions. Thanks
I find that braided line is easier to skip, but especially around wood, it gets stuck more (literally digs in). And a lot of the bodies of water that I fish are too clear for braided line to be the most effective. Some people claims it’s easier to skip, and I agree with them in some ways. It does also get worse back lashes though
I have never really learned how to deal with internal centrifugal braking, so I just leave 2 on and 4 off usually lol. I can imagine that centrifugal would kick in faster than magnetic though, so give both a try
I’ve caught some of my biggest bass ever skipping just a wacky rig on 10 lb braid to a flouro leader and never broke off. I’ve caught 5 and 6 pounders and never had an issue.
Mr. Tyler, there is something that I'm doing wrong, I can somehow skip a jig on grass, but I can't figure out how to skip one on the water without a backlash.
flouro is too expensive these days. Never liked how it handled either. I'll use a foot or two as a leader on by braid, but my days to using it as a line to fill up my spool or over.
Hooooollllly butts....... the Frisbee connection just fixed my skipping. I didn't have it down yet but when he made that comment I went out and it just instantly clicked
Line feed off the reel vs preventing backlashes... I can't seem to find the sweet spot that gives me enough free spool to get the lure where I want it, while avoiding bird's nest. MAYNE I am trying to get the lure to far. You are lot closer to the dock, tree, et al than I am.
I’ve skipped walking baits on purpose because if you skip them and then working right over the area you skipped it on it’s the basses attention , or at least it has increased my bites , or its just a coincidence
Bass do not use shade to keep cool or because they have no eyelids they use shade for concealment for ambushing prey and concealment from predators . Most objects that create shade aside from furnishing ambush points also attract minnows and bluegills due to algae or other food for small fish .
I mean I can skip a crank bait(kinda) , a popper (kinda), a football jig ( a mile) , a lizard( pretty good). But I mean skipping is one of my strong suits
TylersReelFishing oh ok thanks! I couldn’t find them anywhere at the moment tho. I went to Walmart, dicks and other various places but then I went all the way to cabelas (an hour away for me) only for my mom to say, no you can’t buy those, their too expensive😑 but I will try to convince her to let me buy them next time.
1. Don’t skip docks with boats for real until you’re good at it 2. When skipping under boats, be extra careful to pick good angles 3. ONLY skip a jig when youre really good. Weightless worm can’t damage anything, it’s a good lure to start skipping with
As it comes, him and I agree, which is what I was discussing. Yes, of course you can skip one that's got the skirt off and a swimbait or toad put on there

Good poetry!
Nothing better then a good old skip under the dock! Nice informative video Tyler!

Best skipping video on YT by far thanks for your knowledge
Thanks so much! That was my goal!
by far the most instructional skipping video i've seen...excellent job!
I appreciate it!
@@TylersReelFishing yeah man....give me a shout if you ever want to hit some lakes in SC. I'll put you on some fish for sure.
Your pretty good at skipping docks & good lessons on how to do it, roll casting & lifting up is very important, I will try it next trip, I believe your the 1st person on YT to show how to do it, THANKS👍

Thanks for that comment man! I just leave em in cause they are funny haha!
Agreed, definitely funny! But also real. Keep up the good work
I just recently started watching all of your videos and dang are they awesome. I love the college tournament videos!
I appreciate it Aaron!
I watched some of this in the livestream. Your skipping skills are impressive!
Tons of practice man
Good job young man... well spoken.. good info
Thank you mike!

You did a great job dumbing it down, awesome instuctional video! Really appreciate it brother!
Thanks for the kind words!
Great footage and a lot of detail... Great job, Tyler!
Thanks bud!
I don’t care if you know EVERYTHING! Just keep making great videos! You’ve helped me be a better bass fisherman! Thanks bro!
Thanks Tyler. I learned alot.
I’m so glad!
Why or why not braided line for skipping, or on a baitcaster in general? Thanks! Love the videos
Love the channel Dude, and also u inspired me to start my own RUclips channel
Awesome!
Thanks for the reply dude, my videos aren’t great quality yet but after I can upgrade my equipment hopefully someday I can make videos as high quality as yours.
And it would mean so much to me if u could watch a video and tell me how to improve.
Are you putting a lot of velocity into your roll casts or do you not put as much energy into them?
Excellent content, great instruction. Keep it up!
Thanks Damian!
As always great video. You are my go to once again. Forehand ultimate throw- excellent tip
My forehand needs work, it’s been too long since I played haha
Is braid good to skip with also???
You can yes
Braid is all I've ever used to skip, it works fantastic. The heavier the better. Greg Hackney has a good video about skipping with 65 lb braid.

Just a day ago I learned how to skip... Also do you remember the pond beside the lake Travis library??? I caught my PB there
Yep! I stocked that pond haha

New skipper: tight braking
Experienced skipper: just a little bit tighter than regular casting
Thanks for this vid! I got to try it out this past weekend when I was kayak fishing! I only had one minor backlash (I think that was because I play a lot of disc golf so roll casting was pretty easy), and MAN is skipping fun! Granted, only one dock had a fish hit (2.42 lbs, 19 inches), but I would have NEVER gotten that one if I hadn't skipped it underneath that dock. She was in there super deep!
Heck yeah! So glad you found success and that you saw the similarities between flicking a disc and skipping a lure
Great episode 👍👍. I’m motivated now to put in the time to learn to skip well. I expect I’ll be reviewing this video for spot checking my technique. Tight lines.

Do the glasses that you wear help see in or through the water? I noticed you say you got em before you reel in.
They definitely do help, but in this instance, I feel the fish biting, then I set the hook
@@TylersReelFishing OK thank you for your reply. What kind are they? Is there a video of you talking bout them? Is there a certain brand that is better than others? Lol. Sorry so many questions. Thanks
Eazy peezy chicken smoked cheezy. TRF you the man! 🎯
🙌🏼
That’s how you start an intro, fish on before you even start! 💪
How I try to start all my videos!
You answered my prayers! Thank you !!!
Amen!
Tyler, your thoughts on braded line for skipping into docks and other cover?
I find that braided line is easier to skip, but especially around wood, it gets stuck more (literally digs in). And a lot of the bodies of water that I fish are too clear for braided line to be the most effective. Some people claims it’s easier to skip, and I agree with them in some ways. It does also get worse back lashes though
Kickin there bass is one of the best skippers i seen
He’s pretty dang good
Can you use a medium heavy rod for skipping?
Yep!
I love your videos bro
I appreciate it!
Great tips thank you
alright alright i'm here because you told me to come watch.
Atta kid
What would be a good budget reel for a heavy rod
You want a strong reel, so I’d say $150+
Good stuff.. Thanks for the help
Of course!
Bass liking shade gave me a funny thought while watching this. Just picture a bunch of bass using your boat for shade while you're fishing.
Smallmouth bass are known to do that on northern fisheries!
Truly amazing
@TylersReelFishing, whatya got clipped on your hat bill there?
A product that no longer exists
@@TylersReelFishing haha alright, curiosity was killing this cat!
Im waiting, trying to be patient for the new LEWs KVD skipping and pitching reel!
SAME
In your video, you recommended to have your magnetic brakes cranked up to max or near max. Any tips for dual braking setups?
I have never really learned how to deal with internal centrifugal braking, so I just leave 2 on and 4 off usually lol. I can imagine that centrifugal would kick in faster than magnetic though, so give both a try
I’ve caught some of my biggest bass ever skipping just a wacky rig on 10 lb braid to a flouro leader and never broke off. I’ve caught 5 and 6 pounders and never had an issue.
How do you prevent backlash
ruclips.net/video/W5mqb9K1UKE/видео.html
TylersReelFishing I mean when you skip
I talked about it in the video👍🏼 thumb your spoil and have all the body positions right
TylersReelFishing thanks
Got an idea for you, Mr. Skipper... Lews makes a fly rod that you can demonstrate the skills of casting n presentation. Maybe a frog fly or streamer.
Outstanding video 👊👌
Thanks!
This is lit, luv ur videos
Thanks bud!
He used my recommendation love the vid what a banger
I fish creeks a lot, and creeks have a lot of trees, and there's almost always a lot of fish around them. I have no idea how to get under there though
Follow exactly what I talked about in this video
@@TylersReelFishing I will try it, thanks!
The 1 person that disliked this video never caught a bass 😂😭
I guess so lol
TylersReelFishing you are very underrated man. The information you put out is unbelievable. Wish I could go fishing with you sometime . I’m in NY
Central and Northern Minnesota is a fantastic place to skip docks, especially with a jig, they've never seen it before and boy do they eat it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great vid!👍🏼
Thanks mike!
Great video
Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks!
Lol Lizard! NOOOOOO!!! Hahahaha love it!
Yes to the sir!
Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks!
What part of MN is this i?
In?
Central
Nice! And awesome tip video!
What a GOAT!!🐐
I know this off topic ..But I cannot get a hang of my baitcaster. Backslash city. Maybe wore out I bought it from someone
ruclips.net/video/W5mqb9K1UKE/видео.html
flouro is too expensive these days. Never liked how it handled either. I'll use a foot or two as a leader on by braid, but my days to using it as a line to fill up my spool or over.
You are the best…
No you are!
Kvd skipped that popper iono how but he did with ease even with pitching I skipped it right u see it’s amazing
Ok sorry he didn’t skip it with the hooks on he took em off lol 😂
Just skipped a Rapala DT, what number do I call ? Lol
Hooooollllly butts....... the Frisbee connection just fixed my skipping. I didn't have it down yet but when he made that comment I went out and it just instantly clicked
I’m a big metaphor guy. Glad it helped ya!
No look skip like a boss! bwahaaaa!
Yo Tyler 😂 this is crazyyyy I play ultimate everyday in school and my forehand is killer 🤣 this should help bro 👍 🥏
Haha yessir!
Line feed off the reel vs preventing backlashes... I can't seem to find the sweet spot that gives me enough free spool to get the lure where I want it, while avoiding bird's nest. MAYNE I am trying to get the lure to far. You are lot closer to the dock, tree, et al than I am.
Since bass see boats all day, and people walking on top of them, I don’t care too much about getting relatively close
Giving g man a run for his money
Well that’s a hard mark to beat but I’ll try!
Do a video of skipping with a spinning rod. That would be great.
I’ve skipped walking baits on purpose because if you skip them and then working right over the area you skipped it on it’s the basses attention , or at least it has increased my bites , or its just a coincidence
That’s just a coincidence most likely
Bass do not use shade to keep cool or because they have no eyelids they use shade for concealment for ambushing prey and concealment from predators . Most objects that create shade aside from furnishing ambush points also attract minnows and bluegills due to algae or other food for small fish .
Maybe where you’re from. In central Texas, the water gets 90 in the summer. They use docks for shade, that’s a part of it
Have you ever try shooting a dock
No
@@TylersReelFishing it's almost like skipping but instead, your holding the bait and shooting it like a bow and arrow
If I’m already good at skipping does that mean I’ll be good at frisbee?
Definitely not, but better than if you didn’t skip!
Wesley Strader would like to have a word with you about not being able to skip a spinner bait :P
Haha Im sure he can but I’m not him
🐐🐐🐐🐐
I’m not worried about backlashes as much as I am snagging on the dock 🤣
Can you skip a frog
Yep! Gotta have shorter legs though
Haha I seen that video cut at 10 minutes. Birds net huh
What lures do u skip? The best bass lures
Jigs and senkos
I mean I can skip a crank bait(kinda) , a popper (kinda), a football jig ( a mile) , a lizard( pretty good). But I mean skipping is one of my strong suits
Also I mean I also play disc golf (frisbee golf ) so maybe that does help
Me and my friend can both skip crank baits
Congratulations
What about a horny toad Texas rig? I thought that would be good because it’s super flat and a little heavy.
Could work for sure! I would just rather throw a rage craw in that case
TylersReelFishing oh ok thanks! I couldn’t find them anywhere at the moment tho. I went to Walmart, dicks and other various places but then I went all the way to cabelas (an hour away for me) only for my mom to say, no you can’t buy those, their too expensive😑 but I will try to convince her to let me buy them next time.
Wish I could catch anything. Can't manage a single bite.
So what happens when I have a really bad skip and just destroy someone’s boat lol
1. Don’t skip docks with boats for real until you’re good at it
2. When skipping under boats, be extra careful to pick good angles
3. ONLY skip a jig when youre really good. Weightless worm can’t damage anything, it’s a good lure to start skipping with

BassFishingHQ disagrees about skipping a spinnerbait
As it comes, him and I agree, which is what I was discussing. Yes, of course you can skip one that's got the skirt off and a swimbait or toad put on there
What about chipping denting someone’s boat.?
If you don’t feel comfortable with your skills, don’t skip around boats
get the frisbee reference. can't wait to try. 67 year old conservative hippie...
Welcome!
Most important rule of skipping...buy a dc reel lol
Lew’s just released a skipping reel that will destroy a DC
you can indeed skip a spinnerbait
Correct, with certain trailers and usually easier with the skirt off. Still not the easiest by FAR though, which is the point I was making
@@TylersReelFishing yeah
