I go to Taylorsville most every Friday, weather permitting, and sometimes
more. This past Friday was slower than the past and the ones I got
were smaller. The previous two weeks I got mostly larger ones,
a couple went 14" and most were over 11".
They haven't come in shallow yet.
The biggest mistakes crappie fishermen make at T'ville is fishing
to shallow, (mine are in 20' and deeper), and also staying in one place to
long. I generally never get more than 1 or 2 in a spot. Usually when I
get one over 10", I get it on the first or second cast and I can't get
another so I move on. If I come back in a couple hours, I might get
another. You have to keep moving to find them.
I use jigs and sometimes with minnows.
I think Taylorsville is harder now than ever, but the ones I get are
usually good size. That's a bad sign, not catching small ones like
I used to means they're not replenishing.
The DNR told me they were going to stock crappie on the lake
last fall-I hope they did
