7/2/23 Tville Crappie Report

Hope everyone is celebrating being an American this weekend, doing what ya love, spending time with kids /family, and most importantly sneakin away to fish. ;)
Taylorsville crappie are on fire right now, you can catch as many as ya want. Be prepared to weed through fish 15/1 (dink to keeper ratio) if you still need filets for the fam, but again I’m still not keeping fish, I got plenty. Caught 79 crappie between 9:30-1:30, once the storms chilled out a bit. Most were between 9-10, some appeared to be just born. I’m gonna say we caught 8 fish over 10” , but the majority were smaller. Anyhoo…for those who care, the shad fry have FINALLY surfaced. We did throw out net for about an hour and caught a ton of shad 1.5”<, in a couple of weeks they will be perfect. I use em for catfish and them big trophy rainbows @ Cumberland. Anywho, the rain didn’t do any damage, lake was rising but not muddy in the slightest, I’m sure there are new big logs floating around so y’all boys be careful. Have a good 4th and I’ll see y’all on the water.

Thanks for the report! :fish

Ps: I taught my apprentice a lesson today in humanity, one of the boats who swamped us a dozen times this morning broke down and I towed him back to the ramp. He asked me why I did it when the guy crapped all over me all morning, and I just said that as a fisherman (one who looks like me with the tattoos and whatnot) we will show people with our actions the change that we want to see in everyone else. Simply speaking…be nice man..even if they ain’t always nice to us.

Good on you

BCO, you fared better than I did. I went yesterday and caught nothing but dinks but I did catch a boat load of them. Finally gave up to the pleasure boating crew and headed home but a good morning on the water nonetheless.
