Caught a bunch of em on C-land Sunday but they were all dinks. Scratched 5-6 keepers out of 50 plus fish. These fish weren’t relating to cover. Sitting in 30-35 fow suspended up about 20-22 feet. As the evening progressed though the water temp...
Spring has officially sprung in the Beach Haven area despite some lingering winter-like temperatures. The captains of the Beach Haven Charter Fishing have begun preparing for their spring and summer fishing adventures.
One welcome sign is the...
I doubt it, but I suspect by the weekend it'll pick up a lot.
(but I'm wrong a lot, I just keep wishing)
I do know that lately people are fishing way to shallow, right up on the bank.
I've been getting bigger fish out deeper, in water 20 to 30...
Lure weight being cast is crucial. Too light and the line won't get pulled off the reel plus setting the brake may not be possible for long range casts, therefore the brake setting is all important. I'm assuming you know how to set the brake, so...
I own and operate popeyes bait and tackle bait shop next to the dam on highway 28 just past the buckhorn school you will see big anchor sign above the building. That is an old fashion dairy bar which I own it’s up and running as well. Popeyes bait...
Been catching fish since February that had eggs but they aren't ready to be laid yet in the areas I fish. Water temps were approaching the right temp for them to start moving up to get ready but this cold snap may slow that progress a bit.
I saw 59 degree water temp at Nolin and crappie were absolutely full of eggs. I assume some have already started with the majority not far behind. The cold weather forecasted this week might put them another week behind. The following week is...
I've also heard that the spawn starts when the "daylight" is 13.5hrs long .... as in from sunup to sundown. In that case the 13.5hr daylight stretch will occur around April 23rd.
It's also of note to remember that surface temps are what is...
I know crappie spawn before bass and have heard the water temp needs to be 57-60. So we have to be close, if not already happening in some lakes and ponds. Especially with the full moon happening today March 28th.
I went yesterday after the storms went through and managed to catch 2 bass. One was 19 inches the other was 16 inches. Talked to a guy at the ramp and he said there was a crappie tournament going on before the storms hit. Showed me a few pics of...
Yes I was on the water also, I set thru the lightning and rain then the wind got up the ramps all but cleared out so I left also. When I got home I check the radar and It was at it again there so I was clad I left.
Very likely Covid related, plus that a few of the Spring spawns in years prior had yielded some 11-15" fish (though not so much in the last couple of years).
Those Slabs popped up several years ago & within a couple of years afterwards the size...
Not sure why it was torn down. Was looking for someplace on the way to the lake. Guess if I'm going will have to swing by Smyrna.
Went out to Taylorsville last year for the first time in the spring and it was a zoo. Was it because of COVID?
Jim ... are you talking about the Settlers Trace Lakeside gas station/store being "torn down" ?? Any idea WHY ??
They used to sell minnows at the marina, but it's been decades since I used minnows at Taylorsville so I don't know if they...
Well we went today but we’re only on the water about 20 minutes before thunder and distant lighting prompted us, and from the looks of it everyone else on the lake, to head back to the ramp and load up.
We got no bites but had just gotten started....
I live in Louisville(JTown) and was wondering where you can buy minnows at. Was planning on fishing Taylorsville and bought them at the store at the top of Settler's Trace boat ramp. I believe the store was torn down.
