Dale Hollow walleye and Smallie report

[fishfindergeneral]

It's one of my favorite times of the year on Dale. The water temps are cooling and the fish are migrating to their winter haunts. The loons and terns are working bait together with bald eagles occasionally getting into the mix no to mention the amazing colors of the back drop. The fishing has been great and yesterday, a Sunday, we practically had the lake to ourselves. We even caught a Dale Hollow striper..

Nice job Dave.

Really like how open the boat layout looks. Bet you have a lot of more options now as far as setups.

Thanks guys.
Travis, I'm loving it. There's nothing like the Ipilot. Plus I can take up to 5 people with me and everyone gets a comfortable seat.

Out of curiosity what did that drum boga?

[fishfindergeneral]

Mine are only rated to 20lbs and they were bottomed out. My guess is near 30.

That's a bruiser. I caught one one the Caney that looked the same and I guess around that ball park as well with no scales on mine.

Have you ran across any of those browns lakeside in a while? There's gotta be some double digits in there now.

Not this year. I actually catch more muskies than brown trout. We've seen them up to 10 lbs and lost a few bigger than that.

Fishing continues to be good for trophy walleye. We're hoping the turn over is staggered as opposed to last year when the whole lake turned at once. Here's a couple more.

Dave,
I noticed that you havent posted any rainbows lately. I really like catching the rainbows up in the lake. Especially in the early spring. Is all still good witht hem in the lake?

Haven't been fishing down by the damn much this year. We've have caught some nice ones though when we've made the run.. Not many people ask for them. They mostly want the 'eyes. Here's one from the this weekend.

Great fish Dave!, those eyes are true trophies I dont care where in north America u fish, now I understand why folks from up north and the upper midwest come to fish with you, I hope I can do that myself soon!
