adam reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Shimano Vanford Spinning Reel - EOL on Youghiogheny River Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Had a great day casting the ned rig toward the bank and letting it site for about 10 seconds.

Reported by
Thomas Davis

Dale Hollow Lake (KY, TN)

Thomas Davis reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Daiwa Tatula LT Spinning Reel - EOL on Dale Hollow Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Had a solid day at Dale Hollow on an early November weekend. All of my fish came on a Ned rig or small finesse jig. I targeted steep bluff banks and backs of pockets in the 10-20ft range. I didn’t see a whole lot of bait graphing so I finessed areas that typically hold fish. I ended up catching 3 smallmouth and a big 20.25” largemouth. "
