  • My name is Adam Vogelsang, I live in Louisville, Ky, and I have a houseboat at Horsecreek Marina on Dale Hollow Lake. I target Smallmouth bass 90% of the time that I'm on the water. Any reports regarding other species will be second hand, aka "docktalk". Thanks for tuning in.

  • Dale Hollow Fishing Report

    Hello again fellow anglers,

    After a few weekends of fishing, I' happy to say the night
    bite is in full swing. The holiday weekend there was a lot of boat
    traffic, not only during the day but at night as well. The water is
    down this year due to lack of rain, it's about 5 feet below summer
    pool. I have fished several patterns in the fast few weeks, from late
    evening top water to jigging hair jigs under the beautiful stars and
    then top water again as the sun is coming up.

    The most productive bite I've found is the night bite!!! There
    are fish to be had at all of those certain times but the night time
    has been the best. The top water is tons of fun but the thump those
    smallmouth hand out on those jigs at night will keep you awake for
    hours. The bit has been its strongest while the moon is up and bright.
    Water temps are around 80 degrees and daytime temps have been as high
    as 94. Friday June 1st it got down to around 45 degrees and that made
    for a cold night on the water. But when the fish are biting its hard
    to throw in the towel.

    This month the Full moon is June 4th, The Strawberry moon. I
    think the moon helps the bite a bunch, my favorite time to fish is a
    full moon and the few days right after it. I like it so much I'm
    heading back down this week to put in a few hours on the night shift
    down on Ole Dale. Lets hope they are biting and I will post a fresh
    report when I return. Thanks again for reading and as always if you
    have any questions feel free to e-mail me:
