Any info appreciated. May be fishing there this coming Sat. Yeah, I know ... it's Memorial Day Weekend :Doh: and the players will be out in full force, but hopefully I can get in a few hours of :fish before they get seriously cranked up. Planning on shooting docks, possibly doing some longline trolling ... probably won't take any live bait, though.

There are some decent crappie in Williamstown. however most are 6-8". If you go up the northern arm of the lake and take the big slough to the left keep going straight until you come up to a boat dock. There are brushpiles in front of the dock. I have caught some good ones and small ones there. That will be the key is finding brush in front of docks. You will be fine with jigs.

Good luck, the traffic is terrible on the lake for it's size. Docks are the best bet though, fish early the nuts fall out of the trees early.
Thanks, Bassky .... !!

Changed plans at the last minute & went to Taylorsville. Caught 5 keepers & untold numbers of dinks .... mostly all Black Crappie. All keepers were females with eggs, and ranged from 10-12". Eggs didn't look deteriorated, but water temps are too high now for any chance of survival ... so I expect them to absorb them in the coming weeks.Quote:

I had "heard" that Black Crappie were now the dominant Crappie specie at Taylorsville, and Saturdays trip has all but confirmed that, to me.
