Dale is producing big fish

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.

Stained water seemed to be the ticket. Only pulled one fish out of the clear water.

Yeah; I will use that; good excuse I should friend you.

We had a blast being out and the weather was perfect Friday.
