dale hollow trip

[plowboy]

I would say KVD is tops on my list maybe Clunn second but thats just my opinion. Lots of good anglers out there. Roland and his helicopter lure must be in the top ten.

Who wants to see a pig?

A selection of the biggest ones each of us caught. The first two are a 6.2 and a 6.0, then my buddy Alan with a 5.0 and Paul with a 4.8. This was Paul's first trip to Dale....he's officially spoiled.

Nice fish, what kind of boat are you fishing out of? Can't see much of it but it looks aluminum. I wish kept my aluminum boat alot of times. Gas prices are high plus they are much better on the river. We often go to the river in the Summer and fish till noon or the fog burns off. I'm not sure if you have fished the Cumberland River but you have to have a jacket even in the Summer early in the morning. Those trout are alot of fun to watch chase jerk baits the water is so clear. Just a thought. When fishing gets tough at Dale your buddies might enjoy a trip to the river. Fred will fish Dale until June and then switch to the river for the Summer. Nice and cool and plenty of fish including big stripers if your into that.

18' Nova....they don't make them any more. All welded..Johnson 115 2-stroke. 24v Maxim. Perfect for the river. I'm completely self taught and I got my start fishing trout streams wading in the Smokies. I've never stop learning.

I haven't been doing much after I get back from Canada in June.....It get's so hot and night fishing seems to be the only option. I never thought of the river other than Kayaking.

Speaking of Canada...we've still got a couple spots open. Leave May 26th return June 4th out of Louisville. All you need is $500, an RABC and a little gear....game on! We are doing a super easy trip this year....less paddling and more fishing.

Sounds like bassman caught 'em pretty good on Dale (I'm sure every trip is like that for bassman). He's amazing! Maybe we'll see him on tour soon or on ESPN2 with his own show. I can see it now... "Bassman takes over Elite 50" or "Bassman vs. Charlie Moore on Dale Hollow." No live bait though... that's cheating.

I've enjoyed this thread. It's been kind of funny. I'm still waiting for Plowboy to answer the handle question. Just curious. Did I miss the answer?

[thebassman30]

Now that's a good burn....nice! I guess I deserve it 8^)

Oh.... I catch'em all the time like that ;^)

[thebassman30]

The handler description for Plowboy was really good. I think he explained it under the guide endorsement for Dave Stewart & Fred McClintock.

You seem like a pretty cool dude....6 trips to Dale in three months....even a blind squirrel is going to find a nut every now in then 8^) I've had lots of 2-3 fish days...this year was special.

[smljaw]

38 in 3 days with that kind of size is more than special. You might want to memorialize that trip in a shadow box or something.

I could tell you might be the kind of guy, with a good sense of humor, who would laugh at that post. Without being cocky, I can relate to not taking pictures of smaller fish. I have so many pictures of me and my buddies holding 4-6 pound LM. We try to stick to 5+ for a photo anymore.

I have learned so much about Dale and its potential on this site. I have got to get there more often.

[thebassman30]

I added all my trips from Jan06-Mar06 to the web. You guys got to hit it right now! This is your chance to catch a monster....the fish are about 1-1.5 lbs heavier than normal right now.

"I threw so many different jerkbaits and weighted crankbaits. I spoke with KVD once about fishing FNF and he said he'd just trick out a jerkbait to do the same thing. When KVD speaks people should listen by now...he's the Tiger Woods of bass fishing. "

He told me the same thing at the Lexington Boat Show when I had my picture taken with him....
