taylorsville crappie

[mustangiiman01]

i went to taylorsville today to try my luck at some crappie fishing. i don't usually do much after spring but thought i'd give it a try. i didn't have much luck at all. used minnows and roadrunners around laydowns and standing timber with lots of limbs sticking out. after trying about 5-6 hours give it up even tried a little bass fishing with no luck there either.i need to learn more about what to look for with more experience though summer months.

this is really not a great time for Crappie fishing at T-ville. The water is still pretty warm, it's already below Winter Pool, and there's been no incoming water to speak of. Cooler temps, and a cool rain or two, should help get things back to a more normal state of affairs, for this time of year.
My only hope is that it doesn't happen all at once ... that would cause the lake to "turnover", and delay the Fall fishing for a couple of weeks (until the lake settled down).
Night fishing, right now, may be a better option. Otherwise, fishing from 12-18ft deep ... around the ends of blowdowns, around deep submerged brush piles, or standing trees in 20+ ft of water ... fishing slow, and staying on the spot for a more extended period of time than normal ... should be the ticket for daytime, until cooler water temps bring the fish a little shallower.

I also went this weekend (Friday) and it was tough.
I only got 4 keepers, and several little ones.
The water is still to warm, maybe even warmer than the week before.
The ones I got were in 50' of water next to the trees on the channel edge.
I used minnows and jigs.
Everything is running late this year due to the heat.
It's still like summer fishing right now.
