Dale Hollow Mid Oct

[Mr. Smallfish]

Going down for a few days. Staying at Horse creek. What's the suggestions on areas to fish, bait, anything we should be wary of? Will be our first time on DH.

Going to be tough probably, main Lake points, and fish slow.

Agreed but I've had some really good days in October on days that should have been just brutal (bluebird skies and no wind).

Natural jerkbait and go point hopping. You want to cover as much water as possible until you find where the bait is at.

Did our Dale Hollow trip. Fishing sucked. Found bait balls at the mouth of coves. Most didn't have any fish around them. The ones that did, I could drag all around and right thru and nothing. Not really any fish in the coves downlake at all. Big tournament going on. Looked like they were all fishing in 100' of water. Would have been better off fishing at home on Bull Shoals or Table Rock. Lake was beautiful though and quite a bit low. Cabin at Horse Creek was pretty good. Stall for boat kind of sucked, but they are building some new ones that should be very nice. Had burgers at Shockeys at Mitchell Creek marina. Pretty nice restaurant. Worth stopping at.

Fishing has been bad for me the last couple years. Way to much pressure. Tournament you saw was a high school event. My nephew fished it. I think he said it took 17# to win and most fish weighed were largemouths.

Ollie's in Celina has the best burgers around.

Social media has destroyed many lakes that got average pressure at most!!! These days they are absolutely overrun with pressure

Try fishing Table Rock Lake on any weekend. It looks like the Chinese Navy just landed with all the boats.

Shhhh... it's our secret!

But really, if someone's going through Celina, stop at Ollie's you'll find something on the menu to devour and it is all delicious! Cant go wrong with Doris' either
