Sittin here thinking should I head down Tuesday afternoon, after work and fish all day Wednesday. With all this bad weather communing in I don't know. Does anybody know what the lake looks like? What will it look like after a ton of rain, that is coming in.

I know some will say fish when you can but, don't want to make the trip and it be a waist of money because the lake is jacked up and fishing behind a front.

If you live by the lake or on it all the time would you mind giving me an honest opinion? Thanks Ryan.

I wouldn't think twice, I'd go!! It rained for two days straight on me last week and the water was fine on the third day I was there.

What color jigs are working the best guys? How big?

[Fishin is life]

Both of our jig fish (granted we didnt fish jigs but maybe a half hour) came off a 3/4 pb&j jig....the fish were 20 1/4" and 20 3/4"

Have not been to Dale in years. can a guy go late Dec. without much knowledge of Lake and catch a few Smallies?

[dwhanc00]

Camo, PB&J, cumberland craw were the ones recommended to me. We fished only the Camo and had pretty good luck.

It was very tough. Fished from7:30-till 5:00 and only managed 3 fish. 2 Smallmouth about 14" and a real nice KY. Mised a few bites but not many. I talked to some guys fishing live bait and they said it was slow for them as well.

Caught 1 on a jerkbait and the other 2 on a jig.
