Why didn't anyone talk me into going to Dale Hollow before ?
I decided to go fishing today and notorious talked me into going to Dale Hollow... He said "What do you have to lose..?" With 4 hrs of sleep behind me I dragged my tracker up there for a new adventure.
Wasn't quite what I thought but I had fun.. found some grass, lots of 8' to 30 foot flats.. loved it. 3 first today, maybe even 4....
Caught my 1st Crappie, about 2 lbs and a nice keeper.
Caught my personal best bass.. 4.65 lbs small mouth AND a 3.5 lb.. plus 2 other about a lb each.
Another first was these guys was caught on a ned rig on a med light spinning real with 6 lb line... I never fished a Ned Rig before or caught anything of size with this Shimano rod.
Speaking of ned rig.. what the hell is it about a 3" stick worm that a bass loves so much ?
The wind started kicking up big time around 11am.. I mean the white caps had white caps.... I wasn't catching anything after a dink SM and the Crappie.. So I decided to hide and shield behind the bluffs.
Folks let me tell you, I didn't fish any different at DH than I do at Center Hill... For me to produce like I did today on a lake that I never fished is a real confidence builder. I can see how Dale Hollow is so popular.. I can't wait to go back
