Ky Lake crappie have shoulders
I returned home, Bardstown Ky area, Nov. 18 and have been fishing Tayorsville lake this past week and can,t help but wounder why Ky. Lake crappie are so much thicker and heaver then Green river, Nolin, Taylorsville, lake crappie. I fished Taylorsville lake twice this past week and caught some nice ones, but I caught 1 friday that measured 15 1/2 " ,it was a very nice white and weighed 1lb 9 oz and looked very healthy. I fish Ky lake about 100 or more days every year and if that 151/2 inch fish came from Ky lake it would have weighed 2 lb. The longest crappie I ever caught came from Green river lake, it was 17 1/2" and would have weighed approx. 1 1/4 lb. Nov. 17th I caught a limit from Ky lake with the smallest 12" and the largest 15", and looking at them in the live well they all looked to be 2 to 31/2 inches thick. What is the secret to Ky and Barkley lakes crappie and redear being so healthy.
