dale hollow

[rhise]

I live next to dale and fish most everyday, water temp in sulper creek is 56/58 lots of large mouth in the back of pockets i fish live bait but when i see them chasing or busting shad they hit and keep hitting throw white spinner bait silver leaf, or any other logical bait they are agressive, crappie today at about 6 ft around the grass beds, smallies are scattered they are coming into the shallows and coming back out deep its a crap shoot there

[skeeterfool]

what part of the lake would i try next week?

[rhise]

how do you like to fish? if u want to catch largemouth Id go towards and above either wisdom in ill will or wolf, if your smallmouth fishing, I get off the main lake, id be hard pressed to tell you much sence i use live bait and kinda run a milk route of places, we are going to need a couple days of stable conditions

[plowboy]

rhise, not sure which one of us your talking to but I fish mainly for smallmouth. Lead head lures, live bait, and I've been trying hard jerk baits this year with mixed results. I have an odd work schedule but we will have to get together sometime. I usually fish alone so it would be nice to have the company.

[rhise]

sure I would like some company, i fish about everyday if the wind isnt to awful crazy. I keep a small bass boat docked at sulpher creek, and we have plenty of shad, I usually 3 to 4 hours unless its too good, been chasing some nice crappie

[plowboy]

rhise That would be great. My phone number is in the above post. I should be off this weekend. All my friends fish Cumberland but I prefer Dale. Or you can contact me at [email protected]. It would be nice to have a fishing partner on Dale. I am suppose to take stringmusic tomorrow and I'll probably have to mow yards on Thursday if it doesn't rain. But Friday and the weekend look good to me. I have free long distance so if you want to email your number I could call you. Or just whatever. Thanks!

[rhise]

ill send you an email, friday might work,

Hey Plowboy, I live over in Russell County and I have been considering a trip myself to Dale Hollow. I have never fished there and consider myself a green horn since I have only been fishing to amount to anything for the last year. I just retired from work and bought a small bass boat last year. I am learning as much as I can about the sport and my wife is always ready to get me out of the house. Let me know if you can use some company out there, I can bring my boat if necessary and help with all expenses. I am just an old country boy who likes fishing and basketball and lately in that order.

[plowboy]

Sure stringmusic, I work odd hrs but I get several days off. Give me a call (343-5033). I'm no expert myself but have fished Dale enough to have some good luck every now and then. I will do most of my fishing at Dale from now until June. After that most people give it up for the Summer or night fish. I have good days and many days when they make me look bad. I try to time it out during stable weather so my chances are better. Gas is too high to waste a trip down there.

[stringmusic]

Thanks plowboy, I am always looking to improve. I'll give you a call and we will hook up. Got some house stuff to work on early this week but looking at some warm weather later on.

[plowboy]

stringmusic, I'll probably go wed or thur. My cell is 585-1491 and I'll be working the next 2 nights but I'll get your call and call back.

[stringmusic]

Ok. I will give you a call today if possible. My son has a baseball game at Pulaski on Thursday, so I can't go then and we have one today at home. Wed sounds promising. I'll call to see if you can go then. Thanks, Plowboy.
