Well, it depends how you skip it, and what you are trying to skip. When I fish jigs I pitch skip and when I fish weightless soft plastics I cast skip for more power. I almost always use baitcasters for any application except really lightweight softplastics. Practice is the key, sometimes you just have to get out there and not even try to fish, just practice getting your bait where you dont think you can get it. Good Luck! Hawg Fan

Thanks Everyone!!

I just had my first child born this sunday at 2:10 AM. His name is Logan Michael Lewis and was 9lbs 11oz and 21 inches long. I just had to brag to someone about my new fishing buddy . I just hope I can raise him as well as I have been, and have fun teaching him about fishing along the way. Thanks for letting me brag , Hawg Fan

Wow! Glad to see everything went ok. I know snakes are apart of the food chain and all but I cant stand them. It must have been the mojo that saved ya!

In my opinion, best rod for the price!

I wish we could make some sort of map to plot its journey 8-)

X2 Great color choices

Definately check out the articles that that Bass Resource has to offer, they will teach you almost everything you need to know about crankbait fishing. As far as personal favorites for Lipped Cranks: Strike King Series: Great quality and inexpensive (compared to other brands) for starting out cranking since you might lose one occasionally. Favorite Lipless Bill Lewis Rattle Traps: Inexpensive and I love'm, enough said! I would go out and buy a few different brands and you will figure what you like the best! Welcome to the site & Good Luck! Hawg Fan

Glad to have you! Hope Bass Resource can help you as much as it has helped all of us!

Definately Sugar land . Great Interview! Thanks, HawgFan

I am definately going to buy some of these but I was wondering if anyone has tried them yet? Thanks, Hawg

Im Game! I hope someone sends it to me, i would love to donate some Arkansas Bass Mojo!

Listen to him! I pitch the Eakins 3/8 Flippin Jig with a Zoom Super Chunk. I will never throw another Jig N Pig combo besides this ever again! If I could give you one piece of advice it would be to practice your pitching if you arent very good at it. It will put you at a huge advantage right out of the gate because you will be able to get to places you've never dreamed of and you will be able to fish for those pigs who might not have ever seen a lure! Sure, you could Walk/Troll up to the cover and flip it in there, but you might not be able to get to that spot one day and you can cover more area by pitching so just practice, practice, practice. Theres nothing like pitching a jig into the middle of a brush pile and seeing a bass explode in the shallow water pinpointing your jig as its climbing over a branch and ripping him out of there! Good Luck, Hawg

Welcome!

Keep doing what your doing, catching fish is all about confidence. If you are getting too frustrated I might suggest a different body of water for new scenery and a boost of confidence. My go to baits right now are Texas Rigged Plastic Worms (Red Shad) or Jig N Pig (Black&Blue) up in the shallows IN not around heavy cover for those bass trying to feed on their old beds, and rat-l-traps and carolina rigged brush hawgs (Green Pumpkin) along anything that resembles a point and along any secondary points. Never Quit! Fishing is all about confidence! They are out there, just make sure you go out with the attitude that your going to catch'em! Good Luck, Hawg
