I caught alot of fish including 2 over the slot dragging a 4" strait tail worm on a jig head on main lake flats. I didn't get a strike on a jerkbait Friday. I didn't catch any smallmouth in Pusley creek but did catch some largemouth on a fluke. I watched a couple of guys catching alot of fish letting the wind drift them down a main lake flat. Not sure what they were using but they were not casting. They were probably dragging live bait or plastics but they were catching more than me. I am still not seeing alot of fish shallow on the flats. They seem to be hanging on the drops or creek channels next to the flats. Hope this helps.

I live next to dale and fish most everyday, water temp in sulper creek is 56/58 lots of large mouth in the back of pockets i fish live bait but when i see them chasing or busting shad they hit and keep hitting throw white spinner bait silver leaf, or any other logical bait they are agressive, crappie today at about 6 ft around the grass beds, smallies are scattered they are coming into the shallows and coming back out deep its a crap shoot there

what part of the lake would i try next week?

[rhise]

how do you like to fish? if u want to catch largemouth Id go towards and above either wisdom in ill will or wolf, if your smallmouth fishing, I get off the main lake, id be hard pressed to tell you much sence i use live bait and kinda run a milk route of places, we are going to need a couple days of stable conditions

[plowboy]

rhise, not sure which one of us your talking to but I fish mainly for smallmouth. Lead head lures, live bait, and I've been trying hard jerk baits this year with mixed results. I have an odd work schedule but we will have to get together sometime. I usually fish alone so it would be nice to have the company.

[rhise]

sure I would like some company, i fish about everyday if the wind isnt to awful crazy. I keep a small bass boat docked at sulpher creek, and we have plenty of shad, I usually 3 to 4 hours unless its too good, been chasing some nice crappie

[plowboy]

rhise That would be great. My phone number is in the above post. I should be off this weekend. All my friends fish Cumberland but I prefer Dale. Or you can contact me at [email protected]. It would be nice to have a fishing partner on Dale. I am suppose to take stringmusic tomorrow and I'll probably have to mow yards on Thursday if it doesn't rain. But Friday and the weekend look good to me. I have free long distance so if you want to email your number I could call you. Or just whatever. Thanks!

[rhise]

ill send you an email, friday might work,

Hey Plowboy, I live over in Russell County and I have been considering a trip myself to Dale Hollow. I have never fished there and consider myself a green horn since I have only been fishing to amount to anything for the last year. I just retired from work and bought a small bass boat last year. I am learning as much as I can about the sport and my wife is always ready to get me out of the house. Let me know if you can use some company out there, I can bring my boat if necessary and help with all expenses. I am just an old country boy who likes fishing and basketball and lately in that order.
