How to fish SHALLOW GRASS! 🎣💪 // Project E // Fishing a jig + swimbait in summertime shallow grass

In this video, I talk about fishing for bass in shallow grass. It's summertime, it's corona, but the bass are biting! Check out this video to see some fun fish catches in some shallow grass.
MY NOTES:
Key Spots:
+ Matts
+ Points
You can never ever go wrong
If you’re got a bird sitting in the grass
Bird sitting in the grass: Start there
Figure out how deep the fish want it
Go down a productive stretch in the other direction
Throw where you see the water willows move
My set up:
7-3 heavy action CarbonLite rod
8:3:1 gear ratio reel
50lb braid
3/8 ounce swim jig
Crazy legs chigger craw

What lures are YOU throwing when you see this grass? Let me know below! 👇👇 and don't forget to subscribe. 😎

[@405bassin7]

I like to just swim a ribbon tail worm.

[@405bassin7]

A Berkley power worm to be exact.😉

[@envylures5770]

Chatterbait ... swim jig....ribbon worm ..... maybe a flick shake if thin

[@jwluciano]

I typically throw 1/2 ounce poison head jigs with some sort of craw trailer. Poison head jigs come through this thick stalk grass very well. Very similar to a swim jig. I like to pitch it in the “nervous grass” is what we call it here in Kentucky. When the bass show themselves we say the grass looks nervous 😂

[@alfredeinstein8612]

I know it was a little breezy but just out of curiosity, did you throw a grass frog any with the overcast day?

[@ahkeen42]

love it when you skii your bass

[@zachg5356]

Your excitement for each fish is epic. I'd love to spend a day on the water with you. Thanks for all the great videos.

Thank you! And please keep up the awesome work and knowledge you share!

[@sonnymorrison9734]

Hey I really enjoy that video I think I think you're the best fishermen out there right now and I will for sure try the jig worm thanks luck to in your next fishing days 👍 👍

[@JoshKyleFishing]

Bird in the grass pattern is no joke!

[@allenpryor3328]

I love these videos! To answer your question. I live in Northern Minnesota and I really like the berkley toad with that kind of grass and pencil reeds. White with a sunny day and black when cloudy. I go to the swim jig as a followup or if the toad doesn't work. Watching your mind work is awesome!

[@joeyguyton799]

New subscriber to the channel. Love the information. Great videos. thanks for sharing the knowledge!!

[@TylerGoesFishing]

thanks for all the info keep the videos coming

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks Tyler

[@sethrich9790]

Absolutely love this series 👍🏻 When you start thinking out loud about the where/when/why you caught a fish and putting a pattern together is extremely helpful.

[@louaraujo5660]

Edwin, thank you for sharing your expertise by way of this channel. Despite the fact that you are the inaugural Redcrest Champion, you still come off as just another one of the guys we might run into at the marina. The excitement you still get catching a fish is genuine and infectious. I am glad I found this channel. I love watching your videos. You have a pupil for life.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you so much for all the kind comments! I’m just a kid in the candy store when it comes to bass fishing, I truly love it.

Texas rigged zoom craw jr in that grass all day long

[@checkthafeedctfx3244]

I been fishing a swim jig shaking it like that for years!!.. not to many people have been doin it that way!! Buddy of mine asked “how you get em to hit it? Are you swimming it or popping it?!!.. i told him im “making it twerk”!!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Love your enthusiasm coupled with education.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you!

[@joserodgers6268]

Florida I switch early high and steady mid morning 2 ft deep and shake at noon drag it slow no hop

[@DavidMccallister65]

My new favorite fisherman. Evers is the man! I love all the excitement and knowledge and it also builds confidence when I hear you give tips that I'm already using on my own or you do this or present a bait that way because of this and I'm nodding my head because I do the exact same thing for the same reason and I know it works but the cool thing is fact checking with a pro and knowing that I'm on the same page headed in the right direction.

[@kendalllunsford775]

Love your vids EE........ The quality of these are the best I've seen...... I love how you break down the technique you are using so beginner to advance can learn from them........... Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work....!!!!

[@johncloud2851]

Another fantastic video from the "Project E"! Thank you for the great information.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you John!

[@jtomlinsonfishing1406]

My favorite style of fishing. When its tough in the summer, I always tell people, if you can find the grass, you will catch the fish.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

You are absolutely right!

[@dannyshelton1952]

Been enjoying Project E , confirmation on some things we already do and learning new things as well! Thanks EEF for your channel!

If I were to guess, that looks like my favorite lake. Is that Okmulgee Lake? If not, do you mind sharing what lake it is?

[@westvirginiakayakanglers727]

Nice work Edwin 🍺🍺

That lake looks awesome! Love fishin grass like that. Thanks for all the info 👍 another great video 👊😎👍

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@rustycox5823]

Swim jig is my favorite way to fish. I do a couple fast twitches about every 3 revolutions. That is usually when I get my strikes. Keep the videos coming!

[@toddlanctot643]

Good video I going to try some of the info from from this thanks I don't have the type trolling motor to hold my boat like you do👍👍👍

[@EdwinEversfishing]

You don’t have to have that kind of Trolling Motor. Thanks for watching good luck Sonny

[@joshcrosby1213]

Hey Edwin I was at that lake that day. I caught a 6-3 and a 7-13. Lost a giant too.

[@chrishamre2119]

What brand reel and swim bait are you using? Up here in MN mainly straight retrieve with something like a rage tail with lots of action works great.

[@ronknight6400]

Great content. Thanks for all of these videos.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for watching Ron.

[@ronknight6400]

@@EdwinEversfishing I had the pleasure of fishing with you on Amistad on a very cold day in January a few years back. First time that I had seen Side Imaging. You made the top 10 on that BASS Open. Enjoyed the day except for the frigid temperature.

[@jpschrader5096]

E please always reference the month you are fishing in these videos. It will really help us! Thank you.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

I always try to JP. I said in the video it was towards the end of July.

[@DSartors]

That's a technique I have used the last few years here in Oklahoma with success. On the really windy days I even drag a spinner bait through the water willows and they key on it pretty good.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

A spinnerbait is another great option I didn’t mention on those windy days! It’s amazing to me how finicky those Bass can be in those water willows at times.

[@DSartors]

@@EdwinEversfishing yes it is. It initially felt very strange dragging a spinnerbait through the center of the thickest grass but it would drag through right above the surface and the blades would splashing and clanking off of one anouther. Don't recall a complete miss. Although I did have a small trailer hook that would see occasional service. This year it has been the most consistent. There always seems to be bass in the willowgrass everyday. all day

[@jasonperrin6959]

I haven’t caught any specifically with a swim jig, but have had limited success with a chatterbait along those type of grass edges. Had more success with a worm or senko and sometimes I will burn a lipless crank along or through the thinner sections.

[@Surfer-727]

Go Edwin.✔

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thank you!

[@mikebailey2119]

Edwin, sorry I'm late responding to your video on fishing grass. I have a couple questions. I noticed in the video your swim jig had a brush guard on it. Do you usually use a brush guard on your swim jigs? When you are not swimming it fast do the bass bite it more often when it is falling?🐟🎣

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes I usually I always use a brush guard on my jigs. I think the brush guard acts as a keel to keep the hook up right. As far as killing the jig, yes that’s a great technique especially around stumps or holes in the grass or when water is colder or they are not chasing as much. Thanks a bunch for watching Mike.

[@masonbrown1024]

They say with the right trailer you don’t have to shake it. But I always shake

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Great information on swimming a jig, has this presentation help win or place high in a bass tournament? Love project E !

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes I’ve won tournaments and placed really high with this presentation! Thanks for watching Jamie

[@chill843will]

I need to get back to jig fishing

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Jigs are one of the best all time baits!

[@areddfishing7473]

On the Potomac river shaking isn’t a thing. They want it straight retrieved and down deep in the grass. I will shake it when I’m waking it. But most of the time straight retrieve 6:3:1

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Thanks for sharing. I have noticed at the Potomac when I’ve been there they definitely want it down in the grass also. It changes day today though that’s what keeps it exciting!

[@michaelphillips9099]

What lake are you at...?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Okmulgee

[@michaelphillips9099]

@@EdwinEversfishing yeah I'm from Oklahoma and the lakes i only been to was Skiatook, Tinkiller and ologa lake.....But Okmulgee look nice to go Kayak fishing.....But love you're Videos its helping me learn how to fish for bass...😎

[@OKFisherman]

Which lake is this? Not much grass lakes around ne ok.

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Okmulgee

[@williamlaws2353]

Your buzzing a jig or burning it A no blade spinnerbait

[@chriscabral4342]

On sunny days would you go deeper in or go deeper in depth or both? A toad looks like it might be good there also..

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Yes I look for the thickest clumps on those real bright sunny days. Any irregularity that I can find is something that I key on.

[@chrismoloney285]

Great. Another option for me to NOT catch fish LOL

[@ivancardenas86]

Hi Edwin , what rod length and action did you use ? Thank you

[@EdwinEversfishing]

7’3” carbon lite heavy. Thanks for watching!

[@dottydangler7526]

Is this okmulgee lake??

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Sure is! 😎

[@dottydangler7526]

Edwin Evers Fishing thanks! I fish dripping springs a lot right next to it and recognized the layout. Amazing two lakes if you haven’t tried dripping springs yet

[@405bassin7]

What lake is that?

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Okmulgee Lake in Oklahoma 💪

[@405bassin7]

Edwin Evers Fishing I’ve been wanting to try there and Dripping Springs just south of there. Thank you! Love the videos!

[@EdwinEversfishing]

Nice! Good luck!
