Dale Hollow opened up MULTIPLE cans of woop a on me this weekend.
Fished Friday, Saturday and Sunday.......
3 fisherman. We boated 12 on Friday.......all slots. Mostly Mid Lake areas.
Saturday we stuck 5 with 4 being largemouth. NICE largemouth.
Sunday we stuck 4 with 3 being largemouth.
Fish were caught on tail spinners, and jigs. No fly, no swimbait action........
From what I/we found, the bait really has not stacked up in ANY of the creeks we fished. We did find some bait on secondary points about mid way back and in some creeks, we found bait all the way back, but NOTHING like you'd expect this time of year.
It will only get better as the bait transitions......unfortunately, the areas I like to key on have not had that transition.
Also, I didn't see any indication that the lake has begun to turn over. Like I said, we fished mostly mid lake, but when we did fish up the obey a little, we found no turnover, and when we fished near the wolf/ilwill split, we also found no turnover.
SOON, it should start, and when that happens, maybe we can start catching some fish :) :)
Later,
Geo
