Noreaster603 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hey guys not sure where to put this so my apologies if in the wrong spot. I've never had good luck on glide baits so have concentrated on throwing them more this year to work on my technique. No bass yet but the pickerel have been all over them. Any tips on weeding them out, should I change areas, is it the time of year, or is it just a matter of time until I come across a bass that is willing to bite em. Essentially I am wondering if I am fishing the wrong areas right now or are the slime darts just more active in the area I am in. This is the same spot where I have caught all my biggest bass so I am a little confused why no bass are willing to hit the glides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one good outting with the slammer (2 fish) this season but since then morning or night it hasnt gotten any further attention. Im hoping a 0400 trip saturday morning changes that haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Try using a larger size glide- that seems to minimize the pickerel bites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
