Ott & Daniel Shad Rappin' On Douglas Lake

[@mikebailey2119]

Ott, can you do more videos where you are teaching us as you fish. When you were talking about the area to fish alone the steep bank it made so much sense. 🐟🎣

[@reelsimplekayakfishing3338]

This style of video is great! I think we learn as much from hearing you teach someone on the boat as they do! Do more of these, very helpful! Good luck this season!

[@martymooney8099]

More videos like this please sir. Awesome content; informative and entertaining. I can tell you the Coosa River bass love a shad-rap

[@Slickone-wk9mc]

What a mans man… love OD!

[@Sebastian-ms9lw]

That guy got a master’s class in East TN winter fishing. Lucky!!!

[@Budget_bassin]

Dude! It’s just a pleasure to listen to you talk about fishing and our savior. Really learn a lot from you! Thank you!

[@joshuashikles9095]

Ott your one of my favorite fisherman actually you are my favorite. I love how you always put God first,and how humble you are. I think it's awesome how you help people and show them things that will make them be a better fisherman. Your an AWESOME PERSON. We need alot more people like you in this world. Thanks for always being so kind to your fans and just everyone in general. God bless you sir and your family.

[@willperryman4559]

Ott, you certainly are a thorough teacher, and what a great opportunity for Daniel to learn from his own boat on boat positioning , I’ve fished a Shad Rap for decades, and I am so glad to watch your cold water techniques and I have a collection of the OG Slims, and Tiny’s, Thank you 🙏

[@Spaceshuttlegunner]

I love this style of videos. You talking about what you are looking at and just how break down everything. This was great.

[@187bootleg]

Ott that’s the same Tiny color I was able to find in the store! Thanks for posting this. I learned a little something about how deep to setup based off the running depth of the bait. 👊 +2 👊

[@JamesSproles-t9h]

Your the greatest and keep the videos coming and may God bless

[@mff904]

Like watching a pro local that is still down to earth thanks for keeping it real cant wait till the next one

[@mff904]

Hope to see you guys at the fishing show this weekend be safe out there

[@mff904]

What is your fav colors and sizes of shadrapp do you use on our lakes such as norris douglas and Cherokee if you dont mind saying thanks for all the videos

[@GuerreroFamilyWalks]

This video was soooo good!!! I felt like I was in the boat watching and listening

[@johnnymassengale6275]

I've watched this video a couple times. Good stuff!!!

[@BASSnBEER]

Daniel is the man!! Took him over to the Holston last year I believe it was in the kayaks, kid crushed them on a crank, broke his PB twice I believe!!

[@tnbassin8307]

I enjoy watching these videos just as much as watching B.A.S.S live. I grew up on the St. Johns river down in central FL and moved here just a few years ago. These videos are very informative to learn from. I am lost in water over 5 ft deep lol.

[@jimmydixon2632]

Just checked out your church, Lyons Creek Baptist Church on KZbin. Watched last Sunday's message, The Good Shepard. I enjoyed the message very much and subscribed. During the service I happened to notice you and your family seating on the front row. I enjoy your videos and hope you will do more videos where you fish and teach.

[@dfox7777]

Ott, I really enjoyed this video! I think we all would love more like this where you take Daniel out and teach different styles throughout the year. As always, brother, keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see you out this season!

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

Love this style of video. Hearing your thoughts as you find em. 7:37 call your shot was nice! My dad pretty much always has a shad rap tied on. Probably caught hundreds of fish on them over the years in all conditions.

[@mobass8354]

Lucky kid getting to go out and learn about Jesus and fishin! Great stuff Ott!

[@kkoonce1372]

This video rules. Love lessons from Ott!

[@jwluciano]

When water temps are that cold I really like to use my rod to slowly drag the Shad rap across the bottom. You can really detect the bites better I think when using the rod to slowly move the crankbait across the bottom. Shad rap is definitely one of my favorites to catch bass in cold water. Silent and tight wobble really shines in winter time

[@reallifelucasblack]

Talking about your walk with Jesus while fishing. I heard it in there 💪👍🔥

[@theamerican7131]

perfect day to throw shad raps. thumbs up

[@lannyseals2084]

Awesome video Ott! Lot's of good tips through out and amazing how the shad rap puts the fish in the boat

[@Richard-mj5dp]

What a great video. The co angler was a great audience surrogate. And the single lure lesson was primo.

[@jamesmurphy1040]

Ott, nice video....watching and listening to you explain what you are doing fishing these Tennessee lakes was good info for me to use when I go to center hill and dale hollow.

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

Same

[@jameseason9949]

Some good advice today for Daniel beyond the fishing. Well done!

[@jordanfuller8555]

Great content. Usually people who are the best at their crafts have a hard time teaching it. Not the case with you man!

[@Jay_Wood]

My brother has absolutely whipped my butt with a shad rap before. I threw everything and the kitchen sink and he was just chunking and winding an SR-4 and catching em. lol. Since then, I've got a little collection of them and lost the ego about throwing a little crank bait on a spinning rod. I flat out works sometimes when the fish are finnicky.

[@brianperry4521]

Enjoyed the video Ott!! My favorite cold 🥶 water crankbait.

[@aaronbrady2623]

Great video. Love that you are sharing your fishing knowledge and your faith with young people.

[@joshuagreene9976]

It's funny I've fished that first point you started the video with multiple times and never got a bite... Also never threw the Shadrap until recently. It's amazing how the right bait/presentation for the conditions that day makes such a difference. Great video!

[@jeremygilreath224]

I'm new to the shad rap at 40 yr old ott ,this has kinda give me a different view on it I'll pick it up make a few cast then put it down I think I need to lock it in my hand and learn it thanks for the tips man..

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Great video! The shad rap is one of my favorites. I have been catching them on a #5 around here.

[@gaverick73]

I remember that exact point in your opening on Douglas. I caught two massive drum chasing bait on a jerkbait. Thought I had some trophy bass. Dang drum.

[@dysisjoel]

This is a super helpful format! Loving these on the water lesson type videos.

[@stuartcarter944]

Oh that's cool you even do braid to flouro on a jig rod too

[@rodcashman4793]

Great video 📹 👍 thanks for sharing 👍

[@greghiday]

Great day of fishing. Shad rap and tiny doing the job.

[@Smallmouthnation]

Great video, appreciate the educational aspect of it 👍

[@hardknoxs]

Been bass fishing for bout a year, and this was amazing! I learned a ton, seriously!!! Thanks

[@justreelfishing2002]

Let's meet up and get on some on Cherokee or Douglas lol! Love your stuff Ott and I have learned a lot from you keep it up.

[@drewpetrey5804]

Great video, thanks a ton Ott!

[@Kast2Katch]

Teaching lil Daniel the trick to the home pond! Absolutely can’t beat a shad rap in the winter-march on the TN chain. Especially on ole dougie!

[@georgeadcock2347]

Awesome video. Cool content!!

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Great instructional video!!!👊🏻 I have the Shad Raps but really didn't know the proper way to fish them. Thaks for teaching me the proper way!!👍🏻 In the video you said something about the depth dive of the bait +2, kind of lost what you meant by that. Could you explain it ? Thak you!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!

[@alanroberts909]

Wow youngster never through a shap rap best cold water cbait, my butt done got old

[@clarynick]

Very good video. Even a seasoned pro like me learned something!!! Ha kidding of course. But still learned something for sure. Keep up the work.

[@dustinhibdon9752]

Hey ,Ott loved this video coach them up and me to 🙂

[@glenedwards3038]

Just waiting for you to ask me to go to Douglas with you too…. I know you start the new tournament year before long and very willing to wait until you have the time. I don’t know where the bass are but do know where the craps are.

[@bassrookie5473]

Awesome video 👍

[@lakesidefarms2165]

My friends live on that lake. Im from Michigan. Me and my boy want to come fish that place. Been there a coiple times but never fished it

[@BakeroutdoorsTN]

Love the video! Got a spot open in my boat if you ever have a free day..

[@lakesidefarms2165]

cant go wrong with shad rap. OG slim is the shit too. Thanks Ott

[@ditchfishing9148]

very good man

[@tommywalker741]

Awesome why to learn on the water school with one of the best God bless i appreciate that you give time to others (FISHING SCHOOL) 🙏

[@christophercooper146]

How is Douglas fishing now after the flood came thru?

[@hunterjarnigan7220]

Hey ott do you find that fish hit the shad rap more when it’s not bumping bottom. Last year was the first time I used the shad rap and most of the fish hit when it wasn’t hitting bottom and almost at the boat

[@kbrown4124]

What color is the Shad rap you were throwing with the dots in the back? It looked tan or cream colored.

[@produc3d]

@OttDefoe What's your line setup for the shad rap?

[@kennithkirk3665]

Any tips on fishing water temps between 35-39?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Slow jerk bait fishing. Very small twitches. Blade baits and damiki rigging too

[@kennithkirk3665]

@@OttDeFoeFishing thank you

[@stevekennedy7047]

Do you use the line clips on your crank baits for a quick change or does it give better action?

[@chrishyatt6369]

Hey Otter! Man I got a question I have always wanted to ask you and is probably gonna be a tough one lol but what size Shad rap is your favorite for the spring?? Thanks for another awesome video!

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

The 6 is my favorite. Casts the best and gets to about 6’.

[@lancemabry6707]

What's your favorite size shad rap for Douglas and Cherokee in Spring??? 5,6, or 7

[@luckylucky9006]

What was he using before he switched to a shad rap 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@troyholley6231]

Only have to be 15? In Tennessee?

[@zoommaster7253]

Line size ? Rod? Snap or direct tie?

[@jefferyholland]

Do you guys prefer Douglas over Cherokee? I have fished them both around April /May and did better at Cherokee.

[@cherokeelakeguy2386]

What size line do you like using? Do you prefer the #5 or #6 sharp rap?

[@terrywest4265]

Anybody else notice how low the lake was? The docks were WAY up on the shore.

[@youraverageangler5156]

Winter draw down.

[@ericraleigh7363]

I am hoping to retire to this lake....it's always been our home away from home!!

[@joeyboyle9482]

Tenn?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Yes

[@deborahotis4015]

If I had to pick 1 lure to fish and 1 only it would be a shad rap. Probably a #7.

[@CasualBassGuy]

That kid is very lucky

[@bigbucksbitcoin2883]

You know he just put in a 1k order for raps on Bass Pro 😂😂😂

[@kristopherwiita4509]

Rapala quality is terrible these days. I cant tell you how many bills on baits that have cracked , sheared off or just plain came off.

[@DavidMccallister65]

A man will find every excuse in the world to explain why you're catching them and he ain't won't he? 🤣🤣

[@brandonbrightfishing7477]

Yeah they probably like his color more not that he’s just out fishing because he’s one of the top two or three fisherman in the world lol

[@JamesSproles-t9h]

Your the greatest and keep the videos coming and may God bless

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

Thank you!
