Reply With QuoteTell you what I know, FISH ARE IN TRANSITION. You can catch them deep and shallow but the more shallow fish will be the littler fish. If you want a PIG and want to focus on a PIG then drag a jig in 10-15 foot of water around the main lake points and first points just up inside the major tributarires. The bigger fish will not be as deep as they were a month ago and will be moving towards the backs of the bays to feed on shad to fatten up for winter. Tough time right now, it will be better in a couple of weeks into Novemeber. You might see some topwater action so keep a zara spook tied on just in case. I would use shad color topwater, shad color deep crankbaits, and black and blue hair jigs with trailers. You may get one of the PIGS to hit a slow rolled shad swimbait as well. Againif you want a pig then focus on the 10-15 foot deep water column. Them may be a bit shallower in the early morning but as the day goes on they will move a bit deeper. I am certainly not on them and this is what I would do if I was fishing Dale now. Have not wet a line at Dale since March and not we a line period since May so take my advice for what it is worth. I will say that if you stop in at the One Stop at Celina and ask for Steve Headrick, tell him I sent you and he will give you all the information that is up to date on the lake. He is the BEST when it comes to that lake and I mean the BEST alive today, BAR NONE.
One other thing if you find any deep grass beds in that 10-15 foot of water, fish them THOROUGHLY. I like a 1/4 oz punisher Avacado and Orange jig with a Paca trailer when fishing the grass.
