      Fairly new to fishing lakes. I've always fished rivers and clear creeks. I've heard dale has been tough the last few years. I've been fishing, Tim's ...more ford, Percy priest, Cumberland river, Kentucky lake, and some other smaller lakes.

  7. Dang I was hoping you were gettin into them. Were you able to see fish on depth finder. Also we caught fish that day in morn with baits at 20'. Then in afternoon ...more the bite stopped and we noticed fish had dropped down so we dropped baits to 23'and started gettin fish again 2 of the big ones were caught at that time. So what i would try is different depth. Only other variable I can think of is color of beads and blades on harness. That day we caught more on blue and orange beads blade had a blue lines on it we also caught some on green beads gold blade. Keep a good attitude and keep fishing.

      I used orange and fluorescent chartreuse, one of the beads were red. I varied the speed between .7 to 1mph. I did see fish between 20 ft and 35. Was there a certain ...more location you were fishing?

      Hi Dan, I tried the 3 oz weights and spinner crawler harnesses. I ran between .7 and .8 mph. I ran the edges points contours and weed flats. The bait ran about ...more 26 to 28 feet. I went through some schools of bait fish. I must be doing something wrong. No hits. No misses No runs. lol
