Dale Hollow temperature

Another day without anything good. Water temp about the same. Hope someone else had some luck.

Last year was toughest October vacation I have had on Dale in probably last 10 years. That isn’t counting the die off because we caught some good largemouth then. Two days in and last year was great compared to this year. Last year it was high 80’s and fish easier to target, no dice up here. Caught one smallmouth so far, maybe 16”. Heading to main lake tomorrow to my summertime haunts but they don’t sound good either.

I have never in my life seen as many boats and bass fishermen on water mid week in October. It is possible fish are being caught but all our holes have been covered up. I haven’t caught a fish, likely because I refuse to work for them like younger version in boat.

I don't start fishin dale until Mid November . Talk about good fishin and little people. Once deer season starts, you can have the lake to yourself most days.
