I had yesterday off and I had the opportunity to fish with my Dad on Dale Hollow.
The weather was excellent for fishing. Most of the morning was overcast which helped to keep the scorching sun at bay until noon.
The smallmouth are in pre-spawn mode right now. The full moon is this weekend and the fishing should just keep getting better. We targeted secondary points in creeks with stained water. We primarily fished with suspending jerkbaits. I caught three smallies that averaged well over three pounds each. All of the fish were full of eggs and released without harm. Dad had some luck catching Kentucky/spotted bass on a bubblegum fluke. A lot of our action came on points that had red clay banks. The smallies were in mostly shallow water staging for the spawn.
Once the sun peaked out the fishing slowed down. We broke for lunch and called it a day. I am going to try and go again this Saturday morning.
