Thread: Brookville Lake

Fished templeton from about 11-2:30 today with little results. Rain and wind made conditions tough. We trolled, jigged, and threw some minnows, all were met with a tight bite. We even tried throwing some crankbaits to get some action and got nothing. We fished from 30-40 fow to 3-5.

if I am crappie fishing on Brookville I really don't go for numbers if I am looking for bigger fish. I just go out and find a good looking spot with fish on it. you may have to hover over that brush for 15min before you get one, but if you marked fish they are there. I also change jig size and colors often if something does not produce. if I am vertical jigging I like baits that dart off to the side, like tubes, bobby garland minnows, and slab slayers. the tail of the slab slayers is shaped like half a hollow cone. I think this cone helps protect your hook from snagging because it kind of wraps around your hook.

Bluedrifter can I ask where your buddy is catching big crappie in Lawrenceburg? Tanners or the Ohio? dont need exact locations just body of water, thanks

Did one of you guys lose a fish? Never found a jig in the belly before.

Not mine, but curious what you caught it on.

Orange/Chartruese 1/16 oz Nothead feather jig. Funny would've been if I was using pink n black!

pick any tributary off the ohio, they all have crappie. I think his secret is fishing stuff that other people pass up. I have heard they are catching them right against the banks, but I am sure they are other places.
