Everybody talking about Green, what about Taylorsville? LOL

[kercha83]

This is the closest lake to me and it's about a 45 min drive there. Anyone ever had luck at Taylorsville? The only thing I caught in this lake so far is White bass only.

I could tell you what I "used to" do at T-ville, but it seems things have changed there in the past several years. I really haven't fished it enough, over the last several years, to know enough about what's going on there.

I can tell you that I've caught most of my Crappie from there, by casting a jig to laydowns that stick out into deep water (>12ft). Second to that, casting a jig to the base of stickups or using minnow/slipfloat rigs around stickups. But, that may well be because that was the primary way I fished, in the past.

Due to its tendency to flood, sometimes 30+ feet over pool, a lot of the cover that produces for awhile ... gets moved. New cover "may" take its place, but may not end up in a productive spot. Add to that, the fact that spawns get interrupted, if not totally destroyed, by those floods ... and the recruitment of new year classes can have serious gaps.

I read (on another website) that Boltz Lake had become over run with stunted White Crappie, and the KDFWR shocked up a bunch of them & transported them to Taylorsville Lake.

The best I've ever done at T-ville, was catch a limit (15) that weighed 10lbs (scale weighed) ... but, that was decades ago. The last few times I fished there, I was lucky to catch a fish ... let alone a "keeper".

I will be fishing there, this year, more than I have been in the past several years ... and I will post reports on what/how I do.

Hey Pappy, if you go to T-ville on a Wednesday or Sunday give me a shout and I'll meet up with you there.

Talorsville has some good crappie. Maybe alittle harder to fish for them there than most lakes, But can still get some nice ones. I do my best around candy branch and back towards Van Buren.
Fish stick ups and ledges. Most of the time using one pole.

83 I have been fishin t ville some this winter & have been doing real good. I havent been for a week but 2 weeks ago I caught several, I dont live very far from the lake & was hunting the land which is now underwater 50 years ago. T ville had a very good spawn about 2 or 3 years ago & there are plenty of 9 in fish, the crappie there really are wood oriented & just vertical fish the trees & brush. This winter the fish have been around the 13ft depth, I am getting used to my down image depth finder and 3 weeks ago while fishin I saw a large school of fish from 12 to 15ft, I started fishing the school & caught some large crappie at 12ft. I dropped down to 15 & broke my lines, they were whites & H brads,I fish with 4lb test so I dont fool with the bass. You have to turn loose a lot of fish but that day I kept 10 from 12 to 14in crappie. I getting ready to go to the lakes in western ky, so I wont be fishing there much more this spring, the fish are there & good luck. Dave
