Reported by

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. "
