More of the same great action on Dale Hollow

[Dave Clark]

The Big girls have moved out over deep water and they are still looking up.Two week ends ago the water temps were around 70 but after all the heat the the surface temp is up to around 80 which has driven them deeper.They are still looking up so that means hot top water action over deep water.There is nothing like seeing a big smallie crush your bait on top from 30 foot down without putting on the brakes.They come 2 feet plus out of the water and then hold on,they are still pulling hard.Soon they won't be looking up anymore so go get'em.....http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00565.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00622.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00515.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...DSC00628-1.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00624.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00626.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00522.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00525.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00528.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00529.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00532.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00533.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00534.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00568.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00541.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00563.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00564.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00570.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00567.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00566.jpg <a href="http://s467.photobucket.com/albums/rr36/FishFinderGeneral/?action=view&current=DSC00542.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00542.jpg The trout have also been slamming it in great numbers 20 to 40 a day but no real good ones until this week.The had all been under 2 1/2 lbs,good eaters.I got my first one of the year over 8 lbs..... http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00560.jpg http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...l/DSC00559.jpg Fish in photos may be larger than they appear,I'm 6 ft 7, 210 lbs

Thinking about a smallmouth trip this fall to Dale. When would the fishing be at its best?

[Dave Clark]

The fall can be a great time to chase them because usually they follow the shad into the creeks so they are some what concentrated....

Thanks for the response. October looks like a good time to go, any suggestions on where to stay?

[Dave Clark]

I personally stay at Horse Creek Dock,cheap rooms,free launch,5 dollar a day slips ect...
