Mr Ott- It was so cool to get to meet you at LOZ Meet n Greet ! Thank you for the time you gave everyone and for signing my baby girl’s tacklebox and my cap. It was awesome that later on I got a pic with you and Mr VanDam with my little girl together. I recently watched where you had a chat with Mr Edwin Evers over a game of pool. I love that you mention your Faith and that you have a Bible verse on your fishing jersey. Very Cool 😎👍 Best of luck to you brother. My little girl and I will remember that day for a long long long time. Thank You, Matt in Mizzurah
Thanks Ott for the great tips on the swim jig and the shad spawn. Would like to see a video on line thru swimbaits and small to medium glide baits. God Bless.
That was very thorough Ott!!! Only high speed reel I got it on my frog setup. I been on schooling fish on points lately. Definitely gonna try them docks now!!! Thank you sir
Everybody should have the OGS they do great on norris and douglas havnt got to try them on cherokee ..cant wait till june have to figure out where the meet and greets are going to be be safe god bless and ghanks for your time to teach
Ott I live on Ky. Lake/Tn River and some guys fish the Shell/Muscle Shell spawn. Have you fished it or do you have any knowledge on it to share?? I never realized they move as much as they do, heck I thought they just laid where they lay. But you can clearly see their tracks at winter pool. Really thank you for sharing your knowledge to all of us and love the Crankbait build videos!!! Thx and God Bless
One thing that pros like to say is "put your bait where others cant" i think for the most part we all can put our baits there. What they should say is "learn to put your bait where you want it because your competitors can" Andy is very good at skipping docks but at his level 80% of the field is just as good.
One thing I like to do when the shad spawn is going on is throw a white frog even if it’s not around grass or wood. Just a week ago me and my dad was fishing rock and a few bass was chasing shad we threw everything I grabbed my white frog made 5 cast caught a 4 and then a 3 pounder
Ott, I fish my home lake, Elephant Butte Lake, in New Mexico. We are not allowed to fish around the marina but there is a long water break made from truck tires. Any suggestions for fishing the break?
Hey Ott! Being we fish the same type of rivers I have to ask have you had much success fishing a swim jig in the river? I don’t know what it is but I can’t get any of the smallmouth to commit! Water is fairly clear as most rivers? I don’t get it I can catch them on a 1/2oz Spinnerbait but I have a hard time catching them on a swim jig! I can literally throw a spinnerbait and a swim jig with the same skirt and trailer and they will not eat the swim jig? So I have shied away from throwing them on the river! I don’t get it I have tried different weights trailers and all sort of retrieves and nothing I can even catch them on a Chatterbait just seems like they would crush a swimjig? Just curious how you fish them if you do in the river
@@OttDeFoeFishing Thanks that’s about the only thing I haven’t done! There isn’t much grass where I am fishing them I did consider just taking the weed guard off completely? I am mainly fishing open water just target casting and I am in my Kayak so if it did get snagged I could easily get it unhung. I am hitting the water early in the morning. I am going to have a white one tied on I will come back and let you know how it works out!! Thanks again
@@OttDeFoeFishing I wish I could post pictures I smashed them today!! The only thing I can think was that the weed guard was spooking them? Because I completely removed it and it was game on I also had to reel it pretty fast!! But when they got it it was game on!! Thanks for the help.
Never caught a bass on a swimjig ott. Can I use the swimgig fishing from shore? Thanks for all of your videos Ott. Definitely been a big help to me. What lure retriever do you use to get a og slim back?🎣🐟🙏

Been fishing more serious the last three years. Listening to this makes realize how much I have to learn
Love all the videos. Need another river boat video with you and Andy. Yall are hilarious together
Great video and tips. That one about the bank with fewer docks hit me in the face. I’ve been picking wrong for a while. Thanks for the great content!
Another awesome “knowledge-drop” video! Appreciate ya! God bless!
I was sight fishing smallmouth today here in michigan using a white terminator pro jig
Great video Ott with very good explanation. Thank you!
Absolutely LOVE swimjig fishing, my favorite fishing month.
You the man Ott. I wish you continued success!!
Great description of the technique. I’m hoping to put that to use very quickly. Thank you.
Thank you sir ! Keep Loving Jesus and keep enjoying the journey !
Thanks Ott. Always appreciate your video's. Love those Swim Jigs.

Great video sir nice meeting you at red crest thx for help on stainless steel prop
Thank you, Ott!
The half oz is an interesting choice for skipping, not what some recommend but I can see where it would help with the speed, thanks!$$$
Love your videos very hopeful

It may surprise you to see just how good he is. Lots of us are “good”. A few are next level.
Thanks

Yes it does!

I love a good tire break! Swim jig for sure!
Hey Ott when does the coosa special color come in to play? Thanks
Good tips buddy

It is weird. I would shorten the trailer as much as possible. Also thin the weed guard a lot.

Are there situations where you to prefer to fish spinnerbaits over other techniques during the shad spawn?
I do like a spinnerbait just less frequently it seems
What makes you choose the elite chunk?
Just a great profile over all. Caught tons with it.
What kind of intro was that??
Swim jig!
Never caught a bass on a swimjig ott. Can I use the swimgig fishing from shore? Thanks for all of your videos Ott. Definitely been a big help to me. What lure retriever do you use to get a og slim back?🎣🐟🙏
It would work great from the bank. I’ve got one from Bass Pro with chains and a rope that does good.
The morning bite is overrated inless its a shad spawn bite
