Thread: Nolin Lake Crappie

I was wanting to start fishing Crappie on Nolin. I can't figure out though.

I can fish every stump north of Wax and get maybe one or two. I know guys are limiting out some days and I consider myself an experienced crappie fisherman with a nice rig. I can fish spider or just flipping stumps and brush piles. I mostly fish minnows. Any advice on locations to try and how to fish for them?

I must have hit every stump north of Wax for the past three weeks and have not produced any. When it was flooded bad two weeks ago I actually did pretty good. Caught 20, but only 12 Keepers. Most days though it's three keepers max.

I did though manage to snap a good spider cast rod. I was fishing a brush pile and my normal rig is 15 pound spiderwire. I use number 2 Aberdeen hooks and the spiderwire lets me pull the hook strait when fishing heavy cover. Unfortunately a 12 pound Cat found its way to my minnow. I thought I was hung and slowly pulled him up. That's when he saw light and down back down. I had the drag turned all the way up to pull out snags and pop.. There went the rod.

Funny thing is I snapped two rods Striper fishing Cumberland three weeks ago. I run planerboards and ballon rigs. PIC ATTACHED..

I live next to Taylorsville Lake in Louisville, but the fishing there is poor at best. To much fishing pressure on that lake. Looking forward to a late October fishing trip to Weiss Lake in Alabama.

Any advice would be great.
