Taylorsville

[crappiepastor]

Hey Guys,
Never fished Taylorsville but thinking about giving it a try. Any advise as to area to begin would be deeply appreciated. Also are minnows or plastics a better bet. Really any information would be great. Thanks

T-ville is a tough lake to figure out. So much cover you don't know where to start. If your coming in from Settlers Trace you may try the flat over to the left going out to the main lake. Other than that find some dead fall's and standing timber and dip some minners. Good Luck

Hey buddy!!! Long time since we talked. I agree, you need to find some blowdowns and drop some minnows. Last year I got on some old fish attractors and did real good for T-Ville. I have not been much this year. At this time of the year you can always hang some lanterns and catch crappie. Find a blowdown and fire up the lights. Take some snacks and give it about an hour. They will come in. Probelm is, so will the hybrids and when they do the crappie are gone. Of course, the hybrids are great fighters and fun to catch. Good luck.

Hey Jigboy.
Good to hear from you. I know its been a while. A year ago I was in an accident and broke my back so I was out of commission for a long while. This late spring when I was able to resume fishing, I had trouble with my motor and just recently replaced it - so I'm ready (more than) to get out fishin again.

Appreciate the advise. Are there bait shops in the area where you can get minnows? And what ramp do you advise using?

Hope you're doing well!

Settlers Trace would be best coming from Louisville. There is a gas station at the top of the hill that has minnows. They also sell them at the boat dock where you ramp.
Good to hear your on your feet again. Let us know how you do.

HI Ted
Glad you're up and about. Like JigBoy said we've missed you.
If you're going thru J-Town there's a great bait shop right on the town square. It's been there for years. I even knew the guy that opened it, but he's been gone for a long time now.
You can't miss the place it's on the right just after you cross the intersection.
Good luck to you.

He is talking about Karem's Baitshop and there are probably two or three others on the way to the lake. If during the week use Settlers Trace. If going on a weekend you might look at one of the others. Glad to here your doing ok. I haven't been on the water in awhile and now we are getting ready for hunting season next week. I do want to get out some and will probably head out in October.

Settlers Trace Grocery at the top of the hill closed down. Not sure as to what happened there, but be sure you get your bait before you get there. Good luck fishing

Didn't know that. thanks for the heads up!

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the help and well wishes. Good to hear from you. The info on the bait shops is great!

From your experience, do minnows or tubes work better at T-ville?
