the family and I will be camping at Lake Dale Hollow we plan on gettin there June 30 and stayin till July 7 can anyone give me some info on where to fish, lookin for crappie and I understand it is a good small mouth bass lake. I will be campin at Lllydale. Ron
P.S. first time on the lake
Ron, It's a tough crappie lake. June will make it tougher IMO, so with that said check out a couple of islands right out from Lillydale camp grounds. There is grass flats that are on the South side of the islands, and I've caught crappie out of there. That time of year you'll probably see people trolling for Eyes in this same area early in the morning and late at night. Hopefully you'll have a boat! You didn't mention if you'll have one with you or not. You'll quickly learn that at that time of year, you'll probably have to go deep. Might I suggest a guide? Dennis Bowers guides Dale Hollow for crappie, and I've used him, and he is a great guy to fish with! He has a web page, check him out at http://www.dalehollowcrappie.4t.com/. He's really family friendly too! Good luck!:D
thanks fishing dog for the reply I am bring my pontoon so all the family can fish I know that its late but hopin to catch so fish even if its not crappie. rest of the family loves to fish so wanting to give them a good vacation. again thanks for the info. Ron:)
Ron, You will want to fish a little deeper then for Crappie. Should be a good time to get a mess of Gills!Get ahold of me before you come and I"ll try and help you out about depth, location,ect! Craig, Thanks Buddy-How did your trip go??
Thanks for the info Dennis I will contact you as time gets closer. The family is excited and coming up there to go camping and fishing. Ron
Ron, No Problem! When time gets close will try to help you all I can!!
hey Dennis we made to Dale Hollow yesterday. We launched the boat and went for a ride. What a beautiful area. after we ate a picnic dinner on the boat we dropped in a few lines, we caught one crappie near the Island across from Lillydale. If you can give us a few pointers we would really appreciate it. I do have cell service although its dead right now and I have it charging let me know a number and I will call. Thanks Ron
Ron, Sorry I missed this-been busy Guiding and Family!! Hope you caught some fish and had a great time!!
No problem didn't catch but three but had a great time loved the lake. Family says we will be back.
