How to Break Down a New Lake - First Time on Dale Hollow Lake!

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Pulsey Creek was your first stop. A great place, but very popular. You have five great creeks on that side of the lake. Hendricks, Pulsey, Sulphur, and Galton. All those have multiple secondaries and great pea gravel long points. More money has been won in this area than any on the lake. Great choice for a starting point!

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Thanks for the info!! That was dumb luck!

Your jerk bait strategy worked beautifully today, found a few other similar areas and caught 7 in about 4 hours between 11am and 3 pm, biggest smallmouth weighed in at 4 pounds. Thanks for the video.

[@MattBeckerFishing]

That’s awesome to hear!!

[@sunrise7ranch85]

[@williamtennill6744]

We’ll made video..Dale is a fav of mine..for your first day that’s a great day on Dale!! They backs of those same creeks in winter can be fire too!!!

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Thank you sir!! I hope to get back to Dale soon!

[@michealhenderson9594]

@@MattBeckerFishing I plan on being there in a couple of weeks. We should fish. I’m hitting it again on my way to Florida and I slay them in the winter.

I am heading down to Dale Hollow tomorrow morning for my first time. After scouring youtube for months on insight starting from the southern tip of the lake, i found your video a day before my trip. This is EXTREMELY helpful and i can only hope these tactics will still work amidst this cold front that has come upon us in the midwest.

[@axmanant]

Will update. I'm staying at sunset marina just as he pulled out from. We're aiming for smallies but enjoy catching all fish

[@MattBeckerFishing]

That’s awesome!! Good luck!

[@axmanant]

@@MattBeckerFishing thanks! We're heading that way right now!

[@FishingWithDL]

@@axmanant how'd it go?

[@bucknuts8824]

Good stuff Matt. Not enough stuff out there like this. Would love to see more of it

[@MattBeckerFishing]

I appreciate that! I’ll try and do some more!

[@cameronledbetter821]

Caught the biggest bass of my life the 4-5 lbs and we go down every year, absolutely love that lake

[@MattBeckerFishing]

That’s awesome to hear!

[@garrettsmith6886]

Heading to Dale Hollow for the first time in two weeks. Definitely dusting off the jerk bait rods for this one after watching this. Sharing this with all my buddies going with me.

[@justanbaker8937]

I live here. Fishing is on fire right now

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Good luck!

[@MattBeckerFishing]

You ain’t lying, it might be my new favorite lake!

[@sethmartin1317]

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@kjdva2004]

Well done

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Thank you!

[@jillkummer3226]

Need to head toward eagles point near willow grove

[@mattorschell275]

Love the breakdown videos. I learn the most from these. Thanks.

[@MattBeckerFishing]

That’s what I like to hear!

[@jefferyholland]

Every year I go to at least one new lake for fun fishing and it seems to take me 2 or three days to get a good feel for it. You made some great suggestions that I am sure will help me reduce that time and start enjoying the fishing sooner. Thanks Matt.

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Absolutely! I love fishing new lakes!

[@crankintanks2092]

Thanks great video

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Thanks for watching!!

[@Viola5501]

You should have put in at cedar hill Marina, it’s right at the Dam.

[@MattBeckerFishing]

I learned that!

[@austinkiefer125]

Great video man! Love these!

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Appreciate you watching!

[@wrmhall4735]

nice clip thanks

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamesmurphy1040]

Matt....it's middle Tennessee...lol. I fish it all the time..but the slot limit on the smallmouths is ridiculous!! 1 between 12 to 16in and 1 over 21in.....

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Haha oops! It’s an awesome lake for sure!!

[@kevinbishop8098]

Great video matt

[@MattBeckerFishing]

Thanks Kevin!

[@tranzformedyouthtn]

So how long was the boat ride?

[@MattBeckerFishing]

It wasn’t too bad!

[@zachs13]

The wife wants to know what hat you're wearing!

[@MattBeckerFishing]

That’s my favorite hat… I can’t remember the exact name but it’s made by Striker
