Taylorsville help ??

Going to be fishing a informal company crappie tournament Good Friday the 14th at Taylorsville.Looking for some ideas to help me out.Went over Sunday but only fished for about 2 hours (the rains came down).Tried up Timber creek but only caught a few small ones and a couple of channel cats.Water temp was around 57 degrees.Anybody with some hot spots????????????

but, this would still be my "advice" (for this time period): http://www.crappie.com/gr8vb3/showthread.php?t=17828

I would also consider using this method, especially if another cold front has moved thru just before tourney time : http://www.crappie.com/articles/crappiepappy.htm

This might also be of some help, to monitor any water level changes (in the event of rains pre-tourney) : http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/wc/reports/lkreport.html
You can also click on the elevation number, for Taylorsville Lake, under the "Todays Pool Feet" listing ... this will take you to a "flow chart", showing the elevation/precip/outflow rate over the past time period. Monitor this chart during the week leading up to the tourney. This will give you a good idea of water level elevation changes, if any, and may help you pattern their movements (fluctuations = movements towards or away from spawning beds ... stable elev. = continued movement towards shallow spawning banks).

Thanks for the info.Going to try them again this Sunday (if the little lady doesn't plan my day).I'll give your suggestions a try.
