Dale is producing big fish

I've never seen this lake give up the smallies like it had this week. Dad and I have boated well over 40 in 3 days, 30 of these in the slot. I had 12 smallies today, the best 5 being around 19 lbs. Had 8 today over 3.lbs! All on crankbaits! I will get some pics up when I get back home!

I wish I was where you guys were. We were at Holly Creek and in that area in a day and a half we were only able to scratch out 3 smallies(good size; one 4.5 #) and one large mouth. The water temps were 49-51 most places. We were not even finding fish on the depth finder. Do most smallies go upriver to spawn? I thought they would spawn throughout the lake in all the creek channels.
