In the last 2-3 weeks two main factors have seemed to push bigger fish (3-4.5lbers) into slightly shallower water (4-8ft).These two factors have been cooler nighttime/morning temps, and dropping barometric pressure. I have found on days with either cooler morning temps (high 50s & low 60s) or falling barometric pressure due to approaching storms, the swim jig has produced significantly bigger bites in shallower grass. Fish the swim jig normally on a straight retrieve, allowing it to come into contact with the grass. Make sure to keep an eye on the weather to catch this bite. Good luck!

Swim jigs have produced good numbers with a couple 2.5 - 3.5 pounders mixed in. Look for grass in 3+ feet of water that hasn’t quite topped out. Throw the swim jig in there and slow roll it through and over the grass. Whenever you get stuck rip the swim jig out as if it were a lipless crank, this will sometimes yield a reaction strike. Keep colors simple stick to bluegill patterns and green pumpkins.

Caught several 18-20 bass on the Mop Jig. The big ones didn't want to have anything to do with any soft plastic we threw at them.

Caught several on the 6XD fishing parallel to a ledge in about 16’. Make a long cast, retrieve fast to get the crank down to the bottom, then slow your retrieve as you maintain bottom contact. Most of my bites seemed to occur when I would add brief pauses during my slow retrieve dredging bottom.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged Vegetation1/2oz Swinghead Jig with Xzone 4.25" Adrenaline Craw triggered several bites in a 14' grass patch. Make a long cast, let it hit bottom, and straight retrieve it slowly making sure to maintain bottom contact. When it would catch on the grass, I didn't use my rod to pop it free. Instead I just kept pressure on the reel handle until it pulled out from the snag, which seemed to really trigger the bites.
