    Center Hill/ Dale Hollow Guide

    So I'm interested in maybe finding a reputable guide to fish with on Center Hill or Dale Hollow. Im pretty new to fishing Highland lakes (Recently relocated for work from Ms). I have had some success on both bodies of water but obviously Im not accustom to the depths or water clarity that we have up here. I have a boat and all but making new bass fishing buddies is pretty tough due to the competitiveness of the sport. Just looking for someone I could go out with and learn some new things with, specifically winter time type tactics.


    Thanks In Advance

    Manufacturing. I work for Tenneco Automotive in Smithville Tn. I moved to Cookeville just so I could be between the two lakes. I’d welcome any direction.

    I can offer some tips, I went to Tech there in Cookeville for a while and spent a lot of time on the two. Will be moving back to Cookeville soon for work so maybe we can get out

    Brisendine or Bobby Gentry. Next month would be a good time. I'd hire one for 2 days. Do float n fly one day, then learn how to fish jigs, blade baits, ned rigs and tail spinners.
