This Florida girl LOVED that video. I realize you were Texas rigged, but this time of year I look for some mussels or a shell bar and Carolina rig it...sometimes only 2-3 foot of water. BAM! Love to use a big worm or a craw!!
Your the man to be out in the heat, this year has been really hot, great stuff Edwin see you never stop learning new things about your favorite lake, can’t wait till the next one
Hey Edwin, another great video! I'm guessing that there wasn't any thermocline in play here with you fishing that deep. Right now, Jordan Lake NC has a thermocline of 18 feet in some places. Thanks for your videos and sharing your knowledge! 🤟
Doyle and I seem to be in the same boat. You may not have caught a lot but good fish. Keep up the good work Mabe you can teach this old 🐕 some new tricks. Thanks for all you do for us.
This is a great example of the times when even pro fisherman struggle for bites but also a great example on how to capitalize on that tough bite. Dealing with the no wind and high temp shows the dedication and the hard work that goes into these videos. Keep it up man.👍
Always good stuff Edwin. I've been trying to work on fishing for open water fish on isolated cover. I fish on a battery only reservoir so I don't get to cover a lot of water when I go out but I always think to look to you for tips and techniques when I'm out there. Keep up the great work Edwin!
I found it interesting that you said you find the worm to be more weedless than the jig when dragging your bait up and over brush and limbs. I agree to some extent, but I have found that long curly tail like is on your 12” power worm will catch and wrap in the limbs if you are not very careful in how quickly you pull the bait free when it does kind of get caught on a limb during your retrieve. You are a trooper fishing in that heat. I will say this though, on a 93 degree day in late August or early September last year I caught my biggest bass of the year. They do still bite but you definitely have to be willing to work for them.
Every video I learn more, I am 60 years old and I have never learned how to precision cast. I hope to see some instruction in that sometime soon. Back lashes seem to be a recurring problem when I’m practicing. Not all the time but it proves I’m not very good. Lol. I’ve always thought I would like to try tournaments sometime but it doesn’t work in the boat that I have. Keep up the wonderful work.
Great video. I struggle in August also, I think part of it has to do with my fishing partner hates to go slow! Next turn on my boat he will fish slow down or make 50 cast in the same spot with a buzz bait. Lol
I remember seeing a tv show (the Bass Pros maybe) that had a segment of you catching bass in deep water with super long shakey worms. Yum Mighty Worm I think. I recorded that show on my dvr and watched it over and over til I finally caught one using that tactic. Haven’t fished those things in a long time, but I’ll have to get them out next year.
How much are you using electronics fishing like this? Are you seeing fish on screen, just structure, or do you not look at all? I love the way how you are talking through your process of determining the pattern you are fishing. Thanks for the video.
Which side of Sail Boat Bridge were you fishing at near the start of the video? Was it the Shangri-La side or across going into Grove? Thank you in advance for your reply.
In all my years of fishing & Keeping Written Records, the Last Quarter Moon Phase is the Toughest to fish. You have to put the bait Right On the fishes Nose. Bites are Few & Far Between.
Good information Edwin. When you get back to “breaking down the lake”, please put Toledo Bend on your list. 👌

I love fishing worms. They work great for me. Thanks for helping catch more fish. Great video
Enjoyed this episode. Actually nice to see a Champion struggle like us piddlers do 😏 Late August is hard 👊😎

Learning new this all the time...like deep water ledges...

Nice to see a new video of you out on Grand!
Great video Edwin. The dog days can be tough. Where was the thermocline on that lake? Turned it in to some nice catches.

Awesome discovery 👏 Thank you for sharing 👍 Awesome video 📹

Practice, practice, practice.
Make sure to get a baitcaster with the spool tension knob and the brake adjustment. Makes a huge difference! Good luck!
Fishing deep has been a weakness for me and with this video , I’m going deep. Lol take care and send the next.
Love these videos so much knowledge....
I really injoy your videos, all the info you give helps a lot. Thanks 👍
Good video and information thanks and good fishing
The Chickamaga has been the same way I found a pattern the other day I haven’t seen in ten years
Great video. I struggle in August also, I think part of it has to do with my fishing partner hates to go slow! Next turn on my boat he will fish slow down or make 50 cast in the same spot with a buzz bait. Lol
Great video always learn something from them. Yes been very hot
Great video great information, more pieces for the puzzle,
yep this heat been rough
Edwin, do you only have to fizz the fish when putting them in the box? I’ve always heard anything over 20’ you have to fizz them?
I’ve noticed that you use a combination of the platinum series and the carbonlite series rods. Would love to know when and why.
Can you fish deep in a river system like the Ohio or Mississippi, like you would in a reservoir?

Thank you E2
Love to see how you do it , always enjoy your videos are so helpful
Always enjoy your videos!
What size hook and bend do you use for the 12 in worm?
How much are you using electronics fishing like this? Are you seeing fish on screen, just structure, or do you not look at all?

I was using my electronics a bunch
I’m digging dragging that 12 inch worm !
Which side of Sail Boat Bridge were you fishing at near the start of the video?
Was it the Shangri-La side or across going into Grove? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Edwin, can you tell us why you are rigging your worm on its "side"?
Great video Edwin
Do you catch more on Texas rig or Catalina when fishing worms in deep water
You might do a video that includes fizzing the fish
Great video! Did I see a clacker on that Texas rig?
What lake were you on?
Fish were deep trying to beat the heat.HA Ha

Great video. I think I missed the size of weight you used.
I had a 3/8 weight
How heavy is your worm weight? Maybe 1/2 oz?
3/8 that day. I would use a 1/2 if it was windy or had some current
Could you please answer my email I sent 3 weeks ago
What lake were you on?
