Dale Hollow 3/5/17

After a week of crazy cold nights big winds rain, the Smallmouth bite was really hit an miss. Fishing Sunday boating a fish every 20-30 minutes bouncing spot to spot, using a swim bait an live bait, our fish came out of a depth consistently plus 25-35.
Spoke with a buddy at 1130 in a club tournament not a fish in the boat, by tournament end they had 18 pounds of 18 lbs of fish to weigh (an win). Dale Hollow to a tee persistence is key.
Water temp was 52 when I came in we caught 8-10 fish throwing shad toward the deep side of the spawning areas grass seemed to be better than small shell rock

Thanks for the report!

Has the best swimbaits take a look

Rick what color and size swimbait do you prefer on Dale? I am learning the lake more and will be down there quite a bit this year. Typically tubes, jigs, etc. for me but I realize I'm missing out on the swim bait bite. I'm also not a tournament guy on that lake, just for fun.
Thanks!

nice fish and good report

Thanks

Rikhise I sent you a PM

Michael Bean from Bowlingreen Ky, gave me the bait to try I'll see what info I can find out it's a new bait to me.
It produces. I will post a pic Tues

The most productive thus far has been the "little head 4.5" in true blue using the True Bass 1/2oz head with 5/0 hook. We carry them at Smitty City near Nolin Lake. You can also get at trueswimbaits.com. Maybe able to enter code "bean" and get 10% off

Thanks..... I'll give them a shot.

The promo code "bean" does give you 10% off at [url]www.trueswimbaits.com[/url]

TrueBass is a relatively new company.

I am a new pro-staff member for them.

The baits have awesome action, durable, and flat out catch fish.

If you are close to Barren River Lake you can get them at Blinky's Bait and Tackle.

Feel free to message me any questions about the lures.
