Being a local, Hoover is probably your better bet! Alum Creek is more wide open and has unlimited horsepower boats. Hoover has a 10hp limit. My brother-in-law and I used to fish Hoover all the time. Of course a small boat helps at Hoover and Alum. I think the fish have seen every kind of lure known to man from the shore! LOL Red Bank Marina has some great walleye fishing just north of the marina in the grass beds. Getting to it by shore is not likely though because of the residential housing. I am just getting back into the swing of things with fishing. I had a 21 year lay off due to family (kids). But I am an empty nester now and plan on doing a lot more fishing! Happy Fishin'! Jeff

Greetings y'all! I am headed to Dale Hollow Lake this weekend. However, I am not going there specifically for Smallmouth. I have an ultralight and love fishing for Panfish with it! Any suggestions on where to look? I was an avid fisherman back in my youth, but kids and career quickly got in the way. Now, I am an empty nester and quickly getting back into the swing of things! I am renting a houseboat from Hendrick's creek and plan on making Goat Island my primary base camp.. if I can beat everyone else there! So panfish is what I am mainly interested in, but may do some catfishing from the houseboat as well. Don't care what I catch to be honest... just looking for thrill again! Happy Fishin'! Jeff
