Any Laurel River Lake Reports

[Danny331]

Headed down this weekend. I have never fished there.
Any suggestions on what to fish for? Walleye, trout, largmouth, smallmouth,bluegill, crappie?
Thanks in advance, I will be taking the family. Would like to put the kids on some fish.

Laurel can be great this time of year at night for lm or sm. I typically fish shaky head jigs in bedbug. Black and blue jigs as well as big spinnerbaits with a single Colorado blade around cliff walls. Shaky head can be fished around points in less than 30ft for best success. If you get deeper than that I would throw the jig or spinnerbait on the bottom. Good luck! Let me know how you do.

Me and the wife went down on June 4th planning on just floating in the water during the day and to fish in the late afternoon and evening. I was surprised when I caught two keeper SM, one LM (4.60 lbs.) and one KY spot in the heat of the day. All on secondary deep points in a larger creek. Caught in approx. 15 - 20 feet of water. Water temp that day was 85 degrees. Used smoke tube, green pumpkin Brushhog and silver/white DD22 crankbait.

Thanks for the reply. I guess we will be fishing live minnows. If we catch anything worth bragging about I will repost. Thanks again.
