We were down there yesterday the 2nd....Had one smallmouth over 6, a smallie and largie that were 5 apiece, 2 smallies and a largie that were 4 apiece and a 15" smallmouth....took a ton more bites just couldnt get them to hang onto it

Thanks,

Hey Geo,

What depth on the fly was working for you guys.

Thanks in advance!

Fish Hard!

10/11 ft..........find GRASS.......LOTS of GRASS.

Mon Tue, Wed, we fished grass exclusively. Sat, Sun, we had a hard time in grass, but the fish we did catch were close or in it.

Later,

Thanks Geo!

Can you still see the grass? The only times I have ever really fished Dale have been in the winter and I have a hard time locating grass.

Most places you cannot see the grass, at least I cannot.......sometimes, but not most.

Get yourself a good Atlantic Map and look at the dark blue places on points and cuts. The more dark blue directly off the point/cut, the better chance there is grass.

I've been successful finding grass this way. After I find where there should be grass, I like to throw a jig or something to confirm it....THAT way you know.

Then fish the fly as shallow as you can until you find the grass edge, and then HANG ON............boom. By shallow, I don't mean a shorter leader, I mean throw past the edge of the grass, and drag the fly through it, off the edge.....

This pattern worked mon, tue, wed last week for us, but after the hard warm rain on Friday, we were really not able to use the same technique. We still fished grass, but I'm not sure we fished the "right" grass.

Later,

Geo

Thanks a lot Geo!

I'll give an update on the trip when I return.

6's are pretty rare these days. Seem more rare than 5 years ago. I'd like to know an exact weight and see a picture. Not questioning for validation, but would just like to see it.

Most people (i.e. my profile picture is a 6lb 2oz) that catch one over 6 have a picture and know the specific weight like 6.1 or 6 lbs 2 ozs, etc. I'm sure you're an exception though. Was it over 21 inches?

That fish was probably 25+ years old.

Wow????. Man I hate to tell you this but FishinIs Life has caught enough to know if its over 6. I've seen pics of his smallie catches on Green posted on here many times. Amazing when others aren't catching them they still want to question the validity of those that do. It may suprise you to know that I caught, in Jan 2008 on lake cumberland, 2 over 6 and 1 over 5 pound largemouths and 2 smallies over 5 in one day.....all on floatnfly (by the way I know their exact weights just never posted them even when I posted this report 2 years ago). Hey FishinIsLife keep puttin up those good reports and don't let guys like this keep you and others from posting their successful trips. Those 6 pound smallie are there got one over 6 myself there (6-4 if you must know).

Good fishin,
