First time ever skunked at dale.

Well don't feel too bad, last year on 1st Club tournament had no fish, no bites and was completely drained. Fished in the rain for about 8 hours and it just wasn't my cup of tea. Heard all the great reports about Dale Hollow being so great to fish, but they forgot to tell the fish I was coming. But then again the fish must have gotten word that I was fishing the tournament and got a case of lock jaw big time....Didn't want me ripping their jaws off when I set the hook....lol

yeah i've been going there for years and never been skunked. But dale hollow in the winter isn't too good but in the spring summer and fall it is absolutely an amazing fishery. It is by far my favorite place to fish, and is by far my favorite lake. So cra97 dont think its a bad fishery if you dont catch anything, Just go in the spring summer and fall and like i said its amazing, it produces some of the biggest smallies in the country. Actually it still holds the world record biggest smallmouth ever caught in america. So try it in the warm seasons and you'll love it too.
