Largemouth BassTechniqueFootball JigsSeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesDale Hollow is fishing great. Caught mostly large mouth and a few good brown fish, fishing off shore brush piles. Deep grass produced a lot of fish. Slow rolling a spinner bait at night and throwing jig.

Texas rigging a Green Pumpkin Zoom brush hog 3/8 - 1-2 oz tungsten during the day. Nighttime same locations slow rolling spinner bait and Texas rigged brush hog in Junebug.

SpeciesSmallmouth BassTechniqueDrop ShotSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationCaught several good small mouth Fishing offshore structure that had submerged grass. Threw a drop shot most of the time but would pickup the Ned rig when they stopped biting and pick off a few more. Trying to find a spot you can sit still on with all the recreational boat traffic is the hard part.

Actual color was Summer Minnow but Omnia does not carry that color. They really seem to prefer the less aggressive approach of this crank vs 6xd.

Off shore cover is where I had the most luck, dragging a Texas rigged worm or shakey head with Senko. They were grouped up and you could catch multiple fish on same spot. I did catch a few cranking offshore and couple throwing bladed jig on deep offshore grass. Caught several around 3 pound range. Largemouth are really coming on in lake.
