Taylorsville 12/11 Report

Got to to ramp at 8:00 only one other rig in the parking lot. Water temperature was 47° and was a little on the muddy side. It cleared up once you got above horseshoe bend to a nice green color.
The weather man lied when they said wind up to 10 mph. It had to be blowing at least 15 when we launched and it blew 25 most of the time.
By the time we loaded up I felt like I had been in a fight and lost. It was one of them days that you had to be on the trolling motor all the time.
We ended up with 12 keepers the biggest was 11" all the rest was right around 10". The fish seemed to be a little more spread out then they have been. Fish was 6-10 in 12-16 fow. Color did not seem to matter but they wanted it slow.

Good to see a report from Tville. Good job! Did y'all catch many dinks?

Yes, if I had to guess how many I would say 50 or 60. I think if I could have fished where I wanted to we would have done better on some bigger fish.

You said, they wanted it slow, as in casting, trolling or what. Just trying to learn.

I was casting a 1/16 jig with an curly tail grub. Letting it sink for a count of at least 6. Most of the time it had chartreuse tail on the grub.

I was there too with the same results. A handful of good fish, with a limit of eaters. Wind dictated where I fished. Did notice the fish moving out of the creeks where they have been holding for some time.

Thanks for the reply.

hey guys im from ky, in al now, used to fish taylorsville at least 2-3 week for 8-10 years. i found a ledge there, front of boat would be in 18 foot and back would be in 46 foot and you could tie to trees at front and back. if you could post a map i can show you where it is, plus another good spot i saw years ago will deer hunting . they lowered the water 20 foot and i watched the state set up about a 100 ceaders in there. it was around a deep hole that looked like an old pond before impoundment.

Just curious, does anyone catch any of the big cats in the lake?

We don't specifically targeted them but we always tangle with several cats while spider rigging, especially in June when they spawn. We were able to land a 25"-30" blue this year. We always lose several too big to handle and break our line or straighten our hooks. There are a lot of catfish in the lake. Several nice size. Look up Ky Afield on YouTube. They have a special show about surveying blue catfish at Tville. U will be amazed at how many they net.

I had seen that video recently, thus my curiosity! lol. I been meaning to get down there to chase crappies, but I may have to bring a heavy rod or two also.

Very common

I don't chase cats but I do see a lot of people using noddles or jugs to fish for them at Taylorsville.
