Hey man it’s Daniel we grew up in golden pond when we where YOUNG we used to fish the three ponds back 15+ years ago glad to have this video come on my recommended. Hope this reaches you and hope you’re doing great!
I used to live in Morganton between hickory and Ashville. Beautiful country. I live in PA now. Enjoy your channel so far. The swimbaits looks amazing!! 🤙 keep it up and enjoy what you're doing. Hope to get my hands on a couple of your baits soon.
Hey man sorry for the delay, been grinding getting a bunch made. We will be at the anglers choice show at the hot shot lures booth with a few baits next weekend in martinsville and after that we are doing a drop. I’ll post a video prior on my social media pages as well as on here letting everyone know where to go and what’s going to be available.
In this video I was throwing it on a dobyns 735 fury, 50 lb braid, tatula reel 7.3:1. This winter I’ll be throwing it on a 795 dobtns fury with a lexa 300 6.?:1 lot easier to toss around on the bigger rod and can get more distance. Last winter I didn’t have the big rods like I do now.
Thank you very much. My friend and I are planning on coming down to fish is March or April. We’re from Pennsylvania and I was just trying to get a feel for what we’ll need to bring.
@@dominicaltavilla1414 reach out on my socials when you come down. I’ll be able to give you an update on some local places and let you know what stage they are in. Hit or miss that time of year but definitely will have a shot at a biggun. March/April that a rig bite will be dieing off and the fish should be up in the shallows or nearby.
Appreciate that! Hyco was a blast that day and I look forward to next spring when the glide bite gets good again. The lake beat me up a few weeks ago and I barely caught anything. Beautiful lake and I’m definitely jealous because of that as well as the big fish it’s got in it. Tight lines!
Bro are u fishing falls lake raleigh nc,u did good u are a good fishermen ,been along time since I got on em at falls,4 miles from there I'm older now dint fish as hard at 62 as I did at 40yro,an by myself my fishing partner for 40yrs passed away 2yrs ago,ain't the same now,I still fish all baits
Sorry to hear that, I don’t know what I’d do without my 2 fishing partners (dad and my buddy Adam). I can find em every now and then and offshore is my favorite thing to do besides glide bait fishing. Just so happens that glide baits work more often hence the abundance of those videos on my channel. If you ever wanna get out there and can find my socials reach out. I’m free most Sundays-Tuesdays.
U ain't on falls lake raleigh nc are u ,I didn't think the bass were in there like that these days,any way got me a chad shad few weeks ago ,haven't caught anything only fished it once
Bro I live 4 miles from Barton creek boat ramp on falls,I fished it since it started flooding into a lake,only 10lber I heard of was kvd caught in practice 2020,they used to be comon,I been deep cranking structure since 88,caught fish same spots for yrs rarely find fish on them,I fish one end to the other,bass are fewer an way harder to catch than they used to be,wild life think falls is doing great,there's no management no restocking slot limit is bs used to be 16inch an over,it was alot better then,got a idiot controlling lake level,if by a act of God lake gets high in spring they draw it down so fast leaves bass eggs high an dry,plus water stays cooler than jordon or harris because they draw it down if rain comeing so water stays colder,they don't let it back up like jordon,water level controller don't no a dam thing about fishing or managing a lake,used to catch 80-100 bass a day now lucky to get a bite,guys if u no u no speak up complain to wild life they laugh at me
Thanks for the sub! Loving all the comments by the way. Hadn’t fished in New Jersey but I’ve been up to chataqwa and Erie I probably spelled the first wrong but they are in New York and I’ve been up to New Hampshire and fished squam. Beautiful scenery and lakes up there! Let me know if you ever make the trip down!
Yea idk what happened but the lake completely turned off for me. Caught em when it was higher caught em when it was lower. When it was in the middle I had a rough outing and supposedly the day before they were biting like crazy
Definitely a fun place to fish a glide when that water is right. Seems like certain depths make certain areas just a bit better. Now that I’m back at it and I’m done prototyping glides I can put more time into fishing again rather than spending time r&ding
That was fun to watch! I have a couple questions. What does your rod specs, reel ratio, and line looked like on the chad shad set up. Also do you like how it swims? I was under the impression it was more of a chop glide. Thanks -.Rick
It’s a chopping style glide but works really well slow or fast just because it is a chopping glide doesn’t mean you have to move it quickly. Chopping glides simply work more like jerkbaits than anything. So in this video I gave it long pauses and fished it slow due to the colder weather. Hotter it gets the faster I work it. Rod is a cashion swimbait 7’10” rod for 1-6oz rating with a Daiwa tatula 300 7.3:1. Lastly I love how it swims I can burn and pause it very nicely and make it glide pretty wide and slow or fast and tight. It’s my go to glide currently
Hello sir! Love your off-shore content. Been watching the channel for over half a year now. What would you recommend off-shore wise if I don't have a livescope? I have a 9 inch Garmin with side scan and all that, but I struggle to know what to do when the fish go deep. Keep doing your thing man!
I will say I did it for years without livescope and could still catch em. Maybe not as good and maybe I wasted a bit more time on spots or just missed the honey holes. I still use my downscan and side scan more than anything when looking for fish offshore. I could send you a ton of graph screenshots showing fish on the bottom or suspended that I’ve turned around and caught right after graphing for them. Falls specifically on the ledges side scan works better than down bc they’re 10ft deep or less in spots where if I graphed over them I have a higher likelihood to scare off those fish. Graph locates the general area and you can get away with just that. If you have livescope it just helps you make the right cast to the most fish or single fish every time. If you want more details, pictures or descriptions reach out on my other social media pages where we can have a private message or chat where I can go in depth for ya.
Also, if you don’t have a heading sensor on your boat that will drastically improve your offshore game. Being able to mark a spot, turn around and point the boat exactly at that spot and having range rings turned on allows you to pinpoint your exact distance for roughly how far you need to cast. I know it’s a bit of a lengthy response but hopefully that will answer a few questions for ya
Dang this one slipped through the cracks but I appreciate it. Fishings been tough lately and I’ve been busy. Hard to put up a video without much happening and fishing minutes after big tournaments but I got 2 derby’s this weekend. We shall see how they go and hopefully next week I’ll have some bangers!
Thanks for sharing the video! I'm heading to Shearon Harris this weekend but I heard fishing really sucks there. I hope there isn't any tournaments on Shearon Harris this weekend! Tight lines!
It’s a fun lake outside of tournament fishing. Still has some big ones in it but is a shell of its former self in terms of giants. The only reason it’s not liked by tournament guys is the slot limit. Sucks having 20lbs but not being able to keep a single fish… I only know bc I’ve done it so many times in the spring. Catch a good bag and they’re all 19 3/4” but not over that 20” mark
But don’t worry about tournaments none of the trails really go there anymore after the numerous fish kills that happened and the last tournament I fished there had 2 fish weighed in the entire tournament if I remember right. And there were more than 40 teams out there and that was all that got brought in
Sorry for the delayed response but there’s only 2-3 baits I’ll ever throw on a spinning rod. Shaky head that I make 3/16oz, drop shot 1/4oz weight is good for all around 20ft or less, and a wacky rig which I hardly ever throw so it was either a dropshot or that shaky head.
Bait color of the Chad Shad was just a generic shad pattern but if you’re asking specifically the lines color and test it’s 25lb p line cxx in moss green. Not a fan of losing baits and I’ve found this line to be the best at keeping em from breaking off
I used to love Mayo. My brother and I started fishing it in the late nineties and had one streak where we won four tournaments in a row. Question. Is te vegetation still healthy and in existence?
@@thomasgreen8079 another lake ruined for the sake of pleasure boats. As if they don’t have enough water to navigate already. Same happened at Harris. They swear they never sprayed it but we know better. Used to be that if you didn’t have 20-24 pounds at Mayo you got your but handed to you. Shame. The average weight at Harris has decreased by an average of 10 pounds or more to win a tournament. I’ll never get it. That grass was in there for years and never affected anything to do with the operation of the power plant.
Sorry for the delay in response. No more hydrilla but there is this long stringy grass that grows pretty tall out there. Not sure what it is but I haven’t caught any giants out of it. Seems to be pretty sparse where it is at.
@@fuhriousfishing I guess they didn’t get all of the deep grass. It’s elodea and looks similar to hydrilla but it is more sparse. Maybe it’ll make a comeback. Seems like every lake in North Carolina has been sprayed but the WRC of course denies it.
@@doughodges3495 yep they ruined Harris, at least Mayo still has good fish in it but none of the lakes here will be as good as they were when we had the hydrilla
@@fatguyfishing8261 go under the bottom bridge and diagonally to the left on the farthest away bank there is a laydown that goes way into the lake over there to the right of it in somewhere between 10-20ft lol I’ll post that video on Tuesday which should give you a better idea
@@huntercampbell8985 basically ones injected plastic the other is resin. Resin bait stays stable a bit better on chops only because the plastic bait has the tendency to nose up at the end of a glide or movement. It’s very slight but it’s there. Besides that I think they both glide great but the plastic will just be a more consistent bait straight out of the package. Not sure which is more durable but you couldn’t tell I smacked a bunch of dock posts with it the other day so I’d say that’s another thing. I’d imagine if they were biting one they would bite the other simply bc they have similar actions. You’d be happy with either if that chopping style is what you wanted
Great videos guys! I was just about to purchase some Glide baits and I was doing some research and found your video. Can you recommend the glide bait you were using? I want to give it a try on Shearon Harris this weekend. Thanks for your help! 🙂
Fish everything paperweight Fish everything ts 7 or 10 Kgb Chad shad or spro kgb Chad shad Baldy baits 8” Menace swim baits Versatile baits Phoney frogs shad glide There’s a bunch for ya that I know swim good.
@@davidparker7719 no problemo. If you got more questions or want my insight just shoot me a private message sometime. Facebook, Instagram or here either will work I’m just not sure how to send messages on here
Somehow missed this comment. If you watch the rest of my vids you’d know I mix it up quite a bit. Glide baits with scope or no scope. Do I catch more with it? Yes. Still takes skill to make the right cast to the right fish and I’ve seen more fish swim away from a bait then bite and have caught plenty without it. Won more money in tournaments with an elite ti2 on a 2012 nitro than with active target. Its just the new thing and I’m enjoying it and I bet you would to or you’d learn a lot by using it. Hope you caught some nice ones this year and god bless!
