ALL ABOUT FLIPPING! 🎣 // How to catch bass flipping + pitching // [ Project E ]

Ever wondered how to catch fish flipping? Here are some of my favorite pitching techniques, things that i've learn over the past 20 years. I hope this can help you learn better bass fishing tips, let me know what you think in the comments!
Here are the topics that I talked about in this video:
2:07
REEL: Johnny Morris Platinum 8:3:1 reel
LINE: Fluorocarbon 25lb test
ROD: 7:6 heavy action rod
3:06
Have the proper amount of line out
[The distance of your rod]
3:55
During the spawn: pitch past the target
The rest of the time:
Pitch as close to it as possible
[Shady side, current side]
4:50
Watch your line:
[It will give you a lot of bites you might not feel]
5:38
I USE BRAID: only in grass
FLUOROCARBON: for everything else [20-25lb test]
7:55
Always make an extra cast to “LEANERS”
[cover that makes a 45 degree angle]
9:09
HESITATE:
Count to five before you move your bait
Hop it twice before you pull it out
9:51
ROD POSITION:
Work your rod from 9:00, 10:00, to 10:30
10:53
QUIET ENTRY MATTERS IN:
dead calm, clean water
12:08
WHEN FLIPPING SHALLOW COVER:
I don’t want a big bulky bait
SMALLER BAITS:
The General // The Critter Hawg // The Power Hawg
12:50
Let it fall on slack line
13:54
ACCURACY
Practice in your yard
It’s such a big deal to be accurate when you’re flipping
14:37
MY MISTAKES:
Out of position on a hook set
Threw slack to a fish
Going too quick
15:04
BAITS I USED IN THIS VIDEO:
The General - Green pumpkin blue flash
The General - Green pumpkin candy
Critter Hawg - watermelon red
Power Hawg - California

Thank you everyone for watching! What piece of advice did you find most helpful? Let me know BELOW! 👇

[@austinj8522]

Hey Edwin love the videos. You have your house finished yet???

[@austinj8522]

The advice I learned was to make a splash in more choppy conditions 🎣

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Not yet. We are getting closer thanks for asking.

[@austinj8522]

@@EdwinEversfishing What knot do you use for pitching?

[@DSartors]

Shade side or current side, leaners for shade, down sizing baits. All the little things that a big difference. You have more little tips, what you're thinking, etc than most other video's. I'm liking it. 👍

“Heaven’s gonna be awesome!!...but this has to be really really close!l -quote of the year

[@frankhall3166]

Very true, thanks can’t wait!

[@kurtreinhardt9173]

I hope we can fish in heaven! ❤️

[@robertchadwick2925]

You are so fun to watch when you're fishing because you get all excited even though you catch a ton of biguns.. I really appreciate your teaching & coaching instead of just catching fish. I'm sure everyone is learning at ton from your videos. You break the details down & talk about things we might miss. You're a blessing!

[@thegiant573]

So good to get to know these pros better, during tournaments (work) they are so focused sometimes they seem harsh. To see a pro have as much fun as I do makes me smile. Great tips all of them, do be ready because that next flip might be the one, keep that rod in position.

[@johncoopes1056]

Every fish he catches he acts like its his first Love it

[@Steve-yd1ze]

Your mistake section is something not many pro anglers would have the courage and humility to include but is what I find the most helpful. Lord knows if you make those mistakes after all your time on the water I will make those mistakes 20 fold

[@sonnymorrison9734]

I could watch you fish all day I set and watching you fish on kylake one at the mouth of the turkey bay and you won I think van dam was right behind you I have fish there lots of times after that. One of my favorite spots thanks 👍👍👍👍

[@kylemolletfishing9123]

I'm really glad that you started this channel. The quality of the production, combined with the tips and information from one of the best tournament anglers to ever hit the water, is what has been lacking in the "everyone with a Go Pro and a fishin rod is now a pro" KZbin fishing video world. People need to take note.....This is how you do it. Great job buddy.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you for watching and the comments. I’m having fun doing these.

[@kurtreinhardt9173]

I love your enthusiasm and appreciation for bass fishing!

[@texasAUtiger]

Love your videos. Your style is unique. Instead of lecturing us, it’s like we are just in the boat fishing and you are explaining it to us. Keep up the good work!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you very much!

[@ahkeen42]

Thank for your pro tips....keep up the good vidoe rolling

[@jordelano]

Dad & Cheryl said to have you tell anglers to stand up on a box or porch, as if you’re on a boat, the height above the water to practice in your yard so that you have a better idea of how it feels ¨̮ Great video over all! Tell your editor the music and effects are AWESOME!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Jordan, Dad, & Cheryl, thank you all for watching!!

[@johncloud2851]

The absolute best bass fishing "teaching" video I have seen on the web. @Edwin Evers Fishing, the entire video was helpful advice, tremendous content. You make me proud to be an Oklahoman. Praise the Lord. Thank you for the video.

First of your vids I watched...so well done. Great energy, unbelievable education, and some promotion of gear....but the just right amount. Best of luck on the MLF tour this year !

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Man even with the most expensive rods on the market line watching is KEY!! Even with my Loomis NRX and or my Destroyer I get bites I would have missed if I was strictly relying on feel.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes, it’s very key!

[@theoriginaltech019]

I love all these videos. Keep up the great work Edwin!!!!! By far some of the best tips I have ever heard, and all without the buy this, buy that. You are an Angler that truly loves the sport and that makes me so happy to see. Been a fan for a long time and always will be. You are so wholesome, and I love the energy you bring. Never stop!!!!!

[@kens.8124]

Thanks so much Edwin! I've been watching you fish since ClassicPatterns with Mike Auten and always learning. You'll always be one of my all time favorite pros man.

Phenomenal video. The information is priceless, and extremly helpful. However, from a production standpoint, it's outstanding. By far one of the best, if not the best produced videos. Keep up the great work to you and your team. I sure hope you manage to continue bringing content when tournament season starts back up.

Great tips, I’m going to try the bead between the weight and hook the next time I’m pitching. Thanks again!! Keep the videos coming.... And, yes, Heaven will be awesome, probably well beyond anything our minds could imagine.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes it will!!

[@donkswampey3874]

Big fan! I found it all helpful, thanks for the tips. My main goal lately is to get more accurate! 🎣

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Good goal! Thanks for watching!

[@stevevoelker2733]

Great vid. For me the only thing missing was a couple of minutes on how you selected your areas to flip. All the water looked the same so i was curious about the lake bottom features that made a difference to you. Also, I really like the talking points in text and it goes to how people learn. Some people do fine learning aurally (by hearing). My attention drifts so aurally is not my strongest learning method so visual representation (text talking points) really help me retain the info. The importance of accuracy, quietness (different weather conditions) and bait profile most helpful. Even more helpful would be area selection to fish - gotta be on em to catch em. You're as good a guy as they come Edwin. Thanks for sharing all you know. I really enjoy your channels.

[@chrisboyd1408]

Amazing teaching video. Just started watching you. Hope you have done a video on exactly HOW you pitch and flip. If you haven’t... please do. It’s so effortlessly.

[@DSartors]

Man love the video's. Chock full of tips!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for watching! I hope to bring some more any ideas on what you would like to see?

[@DSartors]

@@EdwinEversfishing How do you approach a tournament. As in Breaking down a body of water and deciding on what lures you're going to use. What are you looking for, as far as how the fish are reacting, that leads you to those lure selections.

[@miketurenne7204]

Hello Edwin. I hope you and family and friends are well. Thank you! Gosh.

[@michaelwright5550]

All great tips but accuracy is tops. Really just started flipping late last season. I fish a lot of floating docks and would only flip the outsides and empty covered slips not very accurate with practice, still don’t get the same distance you do but getting pretty dang close to putting it where I want. Heck couple weeks ago I even flipped a dock with a boat in it and never touched the boat or dock. Still have not caught one flipping but it is coming. Thanks for all the great videos

[@timmytubow7651]

Enjoyed watching, didnt have as much fun as you though 🤣

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I had a lot of fun that day!!

[@Outdoor_Jack]

Awesome video Edwin can you make a video on punching Matt's?

[@spanman57]

Thanks for the mindset of a top pro, love it. What knot you using on floro to straight shank hook?

[@kennightingale516]

The most I get out of your advice is the attention to detail. Paying more attention to what I'm doing on the water can possibly put more fish in the boat. But here is a question for you, the days where you're plans aren't going well, how do YOU stay focused on a frustrating day? Maybe something to add to another video down the line. Thanks for commentary and your enthusiasm on the water. God bless.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

That is a great suggestion Ken and probably a harder one to answer but I will work on it.

[@VCSportFishing]

Edwin, awesome video! Thanks! What’s your preference of knot on the straight shank flipping hook? Snell or improved clench or something else?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I just tie a Palomar on my flipping hooks when using heavy line.

[@lynndomby8332]

Great video, how about your thoughts on drag setting? I have bounced between locking it down or just barely slipping.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

When I’m flipping with big line 20 pound and above it is locked tight!

[@lynndomby8332]

Thanks for the quick reply and tips

[@ZTFISHING]

Awesome tips man!! I’ve got an identical spot on my home lake with standing timber like that, but it’s in 20’ of water. Any tips?

[@fishingwiththad681]

what kind of knot do you use doing this? Awesome ! I learned a ton of great information! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I tie a Palomar on any flourcarbon over 20lb test. Thanks for watching!

Hey your my favorite person you kill em man I wish I could do this lol I have a tournament on ky lake may 15 16 what is the best bait I should use

Edwin can u do a teaching session on smaller grass lakes like pond weed

great friend, big big fish, greetings successful friend, hopefully you will be given health and the channel will continue to move forward, friend.

Hey Edwin 👋 I only have one heavy stick for this application, and currently my spool only has braid. If you’re recommending FLOURO around trees and bushes, would you add a flouro LEADER....... or just stick to braid? THANK YOU!!!

[@junogarcia7515]

I use braid pretty much for everything! I’m gonna try Fluoro. It’s just the last time I used fluoro around stumps my line was badly abrased and I lost a monster when my line popped! When I inspected I noticed my line was pretty bad. What brand should I use? This was YoZuri

[@nvyman12]

As far as which line to use when, which line do you recommend for a co-angler who is limited on rods. Especially if they’ll be flipping multiple covers.

[@corykent7]

Hey, I have a question for you. I like to flip a pretty sizable tube now and then, and other times I like a Berkley Pit Boss. These are both THICK plastic baits, so I tend to use a Gamakatsu, 4/0, G-Lock. It's an extra wide gapped hook, and I've noticed I almost NEVER miss the fish when I'm flippin anymore. Ypu say you never use anything but a straight shank hook. Why is that?

[@cdub5738]

Thanks for the tips. I pray everyone excepts Jesus into their Hearts! So that we all will know what HEAVEN is like someday! Thanks again and God Bless!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you and God Bless!

Absolutely love this video Double E! I’ve went out and practice everything you said, and even set down to review my mistakes, and now, I can honestly say I have improved my flipping game 💯 %.
