October bass on Dale Hollow ???

!st time on the forum for me, need a little help. Planning to fish a few days early October on Dale Hollow, it will be my 1st time on that lake also. Can anyone give me a few tips on what to throw and how to fish for those big smallies I hear so much about? I have fished Center Hill with some descent luck in the past, is Dale Hollow similar to the Hill? I live on Watts Bar and catch both large and smallmouth fairly consistently, but as you know, the Bar is a different world from those deep clear lakes. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you, Bobby2.

You might want to start looking in the Kentucky forums to get more info. There should be all kinds of info from last year. It’s been kinda quite here lately on Ky forums. I’m heading down next week and we will probably start off with live bait off of deep points on main lake. If we can get some shad, we will use them, if not we will get some shiners. Jigs are good. I prefer tube jigs but it’s what you have your confidence in I’d say. Wish you a lot of luck. Be safe.
