Spent a few hours on Dale Hollow Lake today. Was hoping to find the Smallies on the flats.......they were not. But it will not be long before they are. Then I fully expect to have catches of 30-80 Smallies a day, same as last year.....along with the big shell crackers and Gills. I know many have been doing this longer than me but since 2010 I have been killing the Smallies on the Trout Magnet. All fish caught using JDM UL rods....2# test SOS line with 2# test Phantom Fluro leader....color of choice.....Purple Redemption. Water was crystal clear today....water temps 51 degrees. These fish were digging....took a while to get them to the net.....they gave us quite a few jumps. Going to be burning up the hi-way the next 3 months....Dale Hollow....Pickwick.....Center Hill.......KY Lake, and many points west! Life is good!

Regards

P.S. Have caught around 160 crappie the last 3 weeks....all on a Midnight Blue ThunderHawk Dancer.
