Just wondering if anyone could give me a little insight on the art of skipping a bait.(under boat docks low limbs etc.)For example what rod and reel setup is good?What technique?I've tried my best take on how to do it with mixed results.

definately argreeing with T-Rig, spinning gear is where its at. The type of bait that you try to skipp has alot to do with the success or failure of your attmpts. I alwas try to go with lures that are like one peice. I go with soft plastics and so on, the lighter the lure the more affective, also the way you cast makes a big difference. Just keep in mind being a kid and skipping rocks.

Russ's video is right on. Nothing skips like a tube or a Fat Ika.

Spend an hour fishing SML with fivebasslimit.  He skips like a 6 year old girl on crack.
