Dale hollow lake

[it's a goodn]

Was wondering if any one could tell me
a up todate report on the smallmouth
fishing if it's slow or fair or even a sight to look at

[CrappiePappy]

Google it up

Lots of sites, fishing reports, etc. ... but, most are "guide" sites or Marina/Lodging facilities sites, so I can't attest to the reality of their "reports".

I would think that it would be slow, right now ... with most action occurring at night, and deep (>25ft). Some sites have water temp charts, so that should tell you something. Don't know if a thermocline sets up in Dale, but that info would also be of great benefit (if you can find it).

Send a PM to Dennis Bowers http://www.crappie.com/crappie/membe...is-bowers.html or check out his web page. I'm sure he'd probably be able to tell you the "latest" info :p .... and he probably knows/talks to the Smallmouth Guides

Cant speak for Dale Hollow but the bass and crappie on Barren are pretty good right now, late and after dark.

bass but was looking for some good smallies. Thanks crappiepappy

Take a trip to Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee.

Or go to Lake Guntersville, in Alabama those two lakes are probably the best Bass lakes in this part of America right now.

Dale Hollow is better now than it was 6 or 7 years ago, due to the regulations.

I bet i have fished dale hollow 10 times sence i started this post and have cought sevaral smallies but nothing over 4 1/2 lbs. Is there a sertant bait that has a better chance of produeing a big smallie? I use jigs,rattle traps, grubs, drop shot, shakeyhead, paca craws , & tubes.
