Lots of us were doing this a long time ago. Nathan was just the first one to open his big mouth about it. A guy out of KY was the one who turned most of us locals on to it like 25 years ago.

@christiancognigni62342 жыл бұрын
Excellent video, Ott. It's really cool to hear your preferences and reasons for them. Those are excellent tidbits of info to get us thinking more like the #1 professional bass angler around. This technique is really something that works well up North where we have longer periods of colder weather. If we can find open water, this is something we OTT-A bring.

Great timing. I actually just watched Nathan & Kevin tight lining with Gulp Minnows on Watauga. Caught some nice Spots & Smallies. Good tips from you & them both. Thanks for being such a good role model for young & old fisherpersons. Stay safe. 🙏 🇺🇸 🎣
@davesipsy75872 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure how long ago you are talking about this originating in East Tennessee, but I was catching big Spots with Doug Youngblood (a BASS tourney guy back in the day and guide) on Lake Lanier in the late 1990's using this exact technique with 1/8 oz hand poured jig heads and a bitten down Zoom Finesse worm, dipping the tail in dye. He used the exact, quivering retrieve on spinning gear and 6# mono (pre-braid days). Deadly.

Ott, Is it possible to use this technique fishing from shore? It seems like it might be hard to surf the bait because you can’t tell the depth without having a boat. Great video Ott. Your explanation of the subject is always easy to understand. 🙏🎣
@OttDeFoeFishing2 жыл бұрын
You certainly can. I would try to find steeper banks to use it on and might go lighter on head weight

Question: why would tight lining a drop shot not work. And if it did would a nose hooked minnow have better action

It could. Just might have some bite the sinker too.
