New to the forum from Chilton County

I just got a new boat last summer and spent my time bass fishing. I really enjoy catching crappie more than anything but have a hard time unless it's the spring bank catching time. I fish Lay Lake mainly and would appreciate any tips someone would allow to get me started for this time of year. We went last Saturday just doing some jig fishing around but had no luck at all. I know nothing about trolling or drop fishing but look forward to learning about it from reading the forum. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the board!! I fish the TN river system mostly so can't help you with Lay Lk. Lots of great info on the site.

Welcome to the site..... We fish Martin can't help you on lay lake.good luck

Don't know anything about lay lake. Do folks long line there? If so you can come by my place and I'll show you how I'm set up and what I do. Might not be how the pros do it, but I catch plenty of crappie

Welcome to ya.

Welcome to the forum! Don't know anything about that lake, but if you will read and search these forums you will be catching crappie in no time.

Welcome-good site for learning-just keep fishing

Welcome chop,usually fish Mitchell or martin,,Lots good info here,,,the search feature has been great for me,super site,,,Now we need some water color to improve,figure they can't eat what they cant see,,all the creeks rolling over here east of you,,Charlie in rockford

Welcome. I have fished Lay a few times several years ago. Mostly vertical jigging and casting jigs but have spider rigged there a little. There is too much timber in the lake to long line in my opinion. If you want to minnow fish that should work good there also.

Thanks for the input. I am studying tonight and headed out sunday.

I live on Lay Lake near Bozo's Marina. I cast jigs because that is how I enjoy fishing and usually do ok. Deep structure fishing is what I would consider my specialty. Try all colors and styles and fish often enough to pattern the fish.
