- There isn't very much information out there that talks about how to fish the smallmouth bass spawn so I headed to Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee to put together a bass fishing video about it. This video is full of great fishing tips and techniques for bass.

Love watching you fish Gene, just happy every single time. Keep it up bud.
Great video Gene! Nice to see the Flukemaster take on Smallmouth bed fishing. I really appreciate the dropping of the knowledge that they won't spawn if mishandled. Not enough people know that!
Spent the 1st 8 years of my life bank camping on Dale Hollow every Labor Day weekend. Finally got back over there last year and rented a houseboat with the Fam. It was SO Great being back there. L O V E Dale Hollow!
Finally! Smallmouth knowledge. Thank you sir!
So good to see some smallmouth videos! I was extremely curious of the differences between the small and largemouth spawn habits and angling tactics. great video love it
Thanks for the difference in spawning characteristics between a LMB and SMB gene! I'm always grateful for your willingness to give away your hard earned knowledge to us... for free!
just went out today and used your pre spawn tips. thanks for putting them out there. hitting points, drop offs and changes from grass to rock. used all your tips. even used somewhat of a crankbait. Rattle traps. thanks for all you do !
Finally a video on CZcams about the smallmouth spawn!! Great video!! keep that info coming!!
Nice seeing info on smallmouth spawn. Thanks!
Great video Man very interesting to learn about the Spawning habits of a Smallmouth
Some good info as always! This helps me out with my kayaking trips! Thank you!
I've seen small mouth on beds in literally 2ft of water
Great vid! Amazing how different their spawn is than a largemouth's.
Small mouths are beautiful fish. Love their scale pattern.
I'm planning some trips on Erie, Gene. Glad to see you getting on them!
I know that smallmouth prefer the deeper water especially in the hotter months, but I live in quebec, Canada and the lake I fish has exclusively smallmouth. I've fished this lake all my life and I've always had success in shallow water (5-10 feet). And in the spring I find the smallmouth spawning in that same 5-10 foot range where the bottom has a nice little gravel and some rocks for cover. I guess it can really vary depending on the lake and conditions of that lake. Love the videos, keep it up! :)
Nice! Wish I saw this before this past weekend. Fished a tournament and all we caught were smallies. People were sight fishing the shallow clear water looking for beds and even smallies. My mistake was my swim baits were way too big. Lesson learned.
that kayak looks good! thanks for the details.
Great Video, I watched a lot of other Pro videos, but you are best. Thank you for replying to my messages too . learn a lot from you.
Totally different scenario to what we have on Havasu, Mead and Mohave. The water is super clear (20+' of vis usually) and the smallies will spawn fairly shallow. We were sight fishing the beds on Havasu in 5-7' of water on gravel flats. You could see the beds from a ways off thanks to the dark colored rock under the silt. Stand back a bit and pitch a 1/4 oz shaky head onto the bed and hold on!
Gene I agree with most of what you teach, but I have to say I strongly disagree with what you said about smallmouth not biting while locked on a bed and on what depth they spawn on DH. I fish Dale Hollow a lot during the spawn and they will absolutely bite when locked on. They are actually very aggressive while spawning and easy to catch. In my experience they will also spawn almost just as shallow as largemouth. They will spawn in 2-20 feet on Dale Hollow. The fish that spawn on the bluff walls of Dale Hollow tend to spawn deep but a lot of the smallmouth that spawn on the main lake flats will spawn in 3-7 feet of water. Love the videos man and if your ever back this way again and want to fish Dale Hollow then just leave a comment here. You would love the deep grass bite that follows the spawn because it's phenomenal day or night. Tight Lines buddy.
Awesome smallies! Been watching you a while. Got my 12 year old son hooked on your channel. He got 4 bass today on his" Gene rig" taped wacky rig with lol.
My favorite fish to catch..big ole smallmouth...nice job
COOL VIDEO, LOVE BROWNIES
They are such beautiful fish.
Finally! Please do more smallmouth vdeos
Hey Gene: Thoughts and prayers still with you and everyone that was close to Ryan. Let's hope his tragedy can help others with those issues see the light and get help. Keep up the great videos...🐟😎
Nice catch
You seem to have more fun when fishing for smallie a
I got a little worried about you Gene!
We lost a kayaker on the Dale today. Took a bit for the details to come out, inflatable kayak and she was wearing no life vest in rough waters.
Happy to see you are enjoying our lake and its plentiful smallies.
Love the UGA hat, GO DAWGS!
Good video
Ahhh the brownies
Ned rig FTW bud idk how many I get using that all year round. Love the vid lots that I
didn't know about them
Awesome man, wish you had better smallie options near where you live, I like these videos. I like diversity in the live well :)
Oh yeah, I caught a 3 1/2 pound SMB when I was 6 or 7 there too. Still have the bait I caught it on!
Super cool smb video!! new sub!
Very helpful lesson, Dean. I've heard before how the spawning ritual of smallmouth differs from largemouth: more "area fishing" instead of sight-fishing , with some exceptions. So, how to fish for spawning smallmouth, when you want to be stealthy and may not be able to see them? I was beginning to feel a bit inferior and intimidated, but you answered my question and gave me some confidence....fan-cast the likely areas they're in. Good way to for me to start. Always appreciate that I feel like you are reaching-out to anglers, at all levels, but are, particularly, helpful to "duffers" like myself. Enjoy your vids. Keep 'em up!
Thanks Michael
hey gene, just like to tell ya, dont stop what youre doing. im only sub'd to you and mike now. no more googen bs.
p.s. although i like long content, id like these 10min video. easy to consume and doesnt take as long. thanks
Look at them pigs man! Love smallmouth fishing. Got any plans for bucktail jigs on the trip? you're on the smallie circuit with this trip.
we have clear lakes here in nw montana and they spawn from like 1 to 8 feet. i wonder if they spawn deeper in big deep lakes
Hey Gene: True or false spinning gear is only for light tackle and finesse fishing. If Not then how big a spinning set up with line and lure size can you get away with for bass. Thanks... 🎣😎
I had purchased a few packs of the swim baits and either I don't have to lure heavy enough and even though fishing slow to get the desired action from it, I still come up empty handed on lakes near me.
do you prefer the 3000 or 4000 series of the creed gt spinning reel?
I smallie fished 20 or so beds for hours the other day in 1 to 5 feet of crystal clear Montana water. They were sitting on beds and even after missing hooksets and catching them, they would go immediately back.
Same in NH. I think it has to do with water temps their surface temps down south extend well below ours especially this time of year. As for not biting never seen a smallie on a bed not bite.
Hey Gene why type of Kayak are you using?
How does a chatterbait perform during the prespawn period?
Like smallmouth fishing???? Gene you need to come to Northern Wisconsin's Vilas and Oneida Counties. Between the two there are 281 lakes with smallmouth bass (I just counted). Lots of them are smaller and perfect for Kayak fishing. My best in Wisconsin is a 6.2 but I did catch one over 7#s in Dale Hollow.
Andy Davidson I go fishing around there, great fish in some of those lakes
@@aidancharles1530 hey there. I'm headed up there the first of June. Staying right by Minocqua. Any suggestions as to where to spend the majority of my time? I'm looking at all the different lakes and have no idea which are better than others. Mainly interested in smallies and walleye. I will have a 17ft triton with a 90hp outboard. Thanks!
Gene,
Great info, I'm scouting an area for a tournament on Sunday that should hold Smallmouth I'm definitely trying this pattern.
would love to fish with you sometime. It would be a party
What lake are you on Lanier, Sinclair, or Oconee
I miss smallmouth fishing. When I was a kid we had a river that we could catch them constantly and they were pigs. Now as an adult they are just gone. It's really sad. It's mainly from pollution.
Jarred Man that sucks! We've had a similar situation happen up here and it's just not cool :/
there are those that love fishing and released i love fishing but i also love to eat, so i keep and cook.
I live about a mile from dale hollow lake and I fish there all the time. I mostly catch bluegill but I'm wanting to start small mouth fishing. What are some of the best bait to use when fishing for small mouth

What net was that
How do I find and fish for smalls?
so you can football jig
wish I could get out and fish some but everything around me is flooded.
So you can't see the bed?
the Mayfly or the Coosa HD???
+Jackson Elliott Mayfly
Flukemaster what gives the Mayfly the edge?
I heard smallies spawn in rivers?
Hey man you should check out "Tyler's Reel fishing" on his Latest video "dock talk ep 2" he dedicates a part of his video to Ryan and he also shouts out his go fund me.
Smallies **
I'm just your friendly neighborhood fisherman.
Hey Gene, what is around your neck?
R P I believe it's the gopro remote control, he maybe turned on the back camera
I see the black remote, but is the white thing a remote too? thx for the reply.
One is for the power pole micro.
fluke there's a spider on you
Concept e?
Yep
Flukemaster what kind of rod and size/action
whomever needs a video to learn to catch smallies on the bed needs to take up a new hobby! lol
Have you been affected on what is going on youtube?
Moises what's going on CZcams?
AD revenue went down for all channels. Outdoor channels are getting hit the hardest. Any topic that might seem controversial cannot be monetized at the moment. Politics, drugs, guns, rants, pranks, etc.
Moises thanks for the info
gene was smart and has a few sponsors to help keep him afloat instead of just ad revenue
Ronnie, I know that part but the question still stands. Ad revenue still a pretty good chunk, many other youtubers have so many ventures and businesses but for sure their wallets took a hit. Even "clean" youtubers got hit.
