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

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!
