Douglas Lake
The lake is called Douglas Lake.
I always go to Douglas when I go to the lake and what is the best summer bait for Douglas I’m going today
I live right by that lake in Tennessee
Always stay with Carolina rig on Douglas.
it’s weird that i know the exact spot where you were fishing. good spot for crappie and very small bass but not good for decent size bass. your best bet in winter on douglas is to throw very deep water crank baits.
Hey Justin. Douglas is one of my home lakes. You had the right winter pattern with that steep rock and crankbaits. East Tennessee can be tough to fish… Most of the big tournaments here are won by locals. Not likely to happen, but if you ever get back up this way, we can put you on some fish.
I went to lake Douglas a couple summers ago and that lake was on fire every cast produced a fish
So nice you had a dual console for your dad!
2 days without catching a fish on Douglas?… That's unheard of around here.
I'm being nosy I'm prepping for a tournoment on the 23rd of this month when was this? I know it was published early May but what were the actual dates of the footage
Hey Justin this spring break in going up to Newport that's really close by Douglas lake. And Im a Ohio pond hopper and what should I use because I don't know what to use
that's like March here in canada
that's east tennessee lakes for ya it can get really tough to catch there has been tournaments I have 0 at It can be very rough here
Awesome vid! The original VLog
I love your videos so much
Did you win
Best way to catch them in cold weather is find them on your Lowrance then you can throw a drop shot 2 to 3 inch minnow and you can watch the fish come up on your Lowrance and eat the lure, or fish a Float n Fly, or fish a silver buddy. around Dandridge bridges is good Schwans, and around the Dam. This lake in the summer can produce 50 fish a night with a 4 to 6 inch worm, great night fishing on this lake. Hope this help you out the next time you go to Douglas Lake.Â
this is awesome because i live on douglas lake!
I've fished there all my life and the best baits I've used are a fineness worm,crankbait, and a small swim bait.
I live like 10 or 15 miles from there I just searched this so I can see what i go to almost every summer.
For once, someone made an interesting and honest video of a tough trip.
Anyone can catch fish when the fish are biting.
But when it's snowing and blowing?
Man up and see if we can't learn something! 🙂
Appreciate your story and I've subscribed.
I saw your truck at the boat ramp, man was it crazy cold. I have a cabin about 10 miles southeast of there and it snowed twice that week! Great video!!
Enjoy watching your videos!
Well, at 5:56, I can tell why you had a hard time. The thing seems to be a reservoir. If you don't know the specific spots for these, they generally are a waste of time. We got one in Quebec, Lac Taureau, and it's pretty shitty unless you know exactly where to go.
During ice fishing, I had a 5.5 pound bass on my line… When my reel froze. The spool literally froze. I had to use a lighter to melt it. I eventually got the bass in though.
Im a east Tennessee boy!
that was cool to see
Dude that video was awsome
Excellent video, very well put together and a great look behind the scenes of a tourney. Thanks!
The question… Was it worth it?
May not have caught much but nice video!
Great video. Your Dad is a trooper! Just fished with mine who is 76 yrs old for three days…….he will be healing for next month! LOL
