Great report and pictures.....thanks for sharing. I love Dale Hollow
Epic day at Dale Hollow Lake today. My lure of choice was a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a 3/32 ounce jig head. Rod was a Yamaga Blanks Blue Current TZ 6' 10' Jig Head Special UL Ajing rod. The reel was an Daiwa Ignis Type R 2505H spooled with 2# test SOS line and an 18 inch section of 2# test Phantom fluro leader. I caught numerous Gills...shellcrackers.....a huge catfish and two trophy sized Smallies both going almost 21 inches. The reel.....rod...line, and leader, performed flawlessly which allowed me to get these fish in. The drag was screaming and the 2# test SOS line was stretched but it held. Had to run one of the Smallies down with the trolling motor...he was not going to stop. I do not have a scale.....wish I did...these two fish were heavy. The Gills and shellcrackers show no real sign of going on bed yet. They are still scattered but can readily be found and caught. While the Gills I am into right now are only at the 8-8.5 inch mark they are chunky fish and put up a great fight. The shellcracker are starting to get bigger....they made the drag scream also. Going to clean boat...gear...and get ready for next week...life is good!
