Dale Hollow night time bassin'

[Texas_Rig]

Just got home from my first night time fishing trip of the year. We went to Dale hollow and crushed them. We caught everything on a black 3/4 spinnerbait in 8-12 fow fishing grass. I was just fishing my spinnerbait like I would fish any texas rig. Just hop it off the bottom. My buddy and I both lost monster smallmouths at the boat. Mine was around 5lbs and it just came off at the boat. His was definitely bigger than mine and his knot came untied at the boat. I think I'm going back again tonight.

Dang good night! I been wanting to get up there forever but haven't made a trip up there yet. Where's a good place to put in at and not have to make to long of a run if you don't mind me asking?

The last 2 times I put in at Holly Creek. I used about 2 gallons of gas the first trip and less than 2 gallons last night. You don't have to go far to find some good fish. There are some islands just outside the creek, and we fished that area both times. The first trip our best 5 bass weighed 19lbs 7 oz with mostly largemouth. Last night our best five weighed 18lbs 4oz with mostly smallmouth. Fishing submerged grass has been the key. If you know how to use your sonar then you should have no problems finding productive water. The best areas have been where the grass is a little more patchy and no soo thick. The key depth for us has been 8-12 fow. Hope this helps.
