A buddy said the big pre spawners like a glide bait this time of year. I bought the S Waver by River 2 Sea... and got annihilated by 2 good ones. Work it slow and add some pauses! Water temp was 56.

Very nice fish?

Nice work!

Travis, congrats. Great catches.

 

Did your dad help you?

 

Say "hi" to him for me when you see him.

 

In the meantime, keep those pics coming of the hogs you catch.

 

Maybe we can go out in my Ranger this summer, if I can find the time.

 

 

 

 

Beautiful fish!

I bought a sinking Seville Magic Swimmer just because. 

Don't know if that's considered a glide bait or not as Its double jointed unlike yours, but gonna give it a try anyway.

No help from dad! Solo mission, and yes! Let’s fish this summer.

Nice fish, GREAT pic!

 

Good one there Travis!

 

Just bought the River2Sea S-Waver in perch color along with Gantarel Jr., and Bull Shad/Bull Gill glide baits. Can't wait to give them a toss on my new Dobyns Fury swimbait rod.

Awesome catch!

 

Any chance you’d share where you were?

Yo Travis, I got the swimbait rod, and the line I will use.....what reels do you recommend for swimbait fishing?

Nothing to big...a couple Savage Gear swimbaits, S-Waver, Jackyll Gantural, 6 inch Bull Shad and 6 inch Bull Gill glide baits....biggest might be 3oz.
