Taylorsville Crappie

Anyone been or having any luck. Going with the father-in-law Monday. Just trying to see if anyone has been doing any good. Do you think I should fish the main lake or go into the creeks. Ill take any advice. Thanks guys!!

I haven't been to T-ville this year, but in the past I've experienced the Crappie spawn towards the later days of April, even into the first week or so of May. I've always done good on wood along the main lake banks, and some of the major creek arms. I don't know what the water temp is, so if I were going there soon ... I'd most probably fish the main lake banks to start off, then move into the pockets with standing timber, before I went back into any of the creeks. I would expect them to still be in pre-spawn mode & feeding ... so I'd keep a check on my electronics for water temp changes & Shad schools. I mostly cast jigs at T-ville ... have done a bit of minnow/float fishing in the past ... and even longline trolled some for T-ville Crappie. They've all worked, but I'd have to give the overall productive edge to casting jigs. I've had the most success with blue/chartreuse plastics on a 1/16oz weedless jighead ... around blowdowns & standing timber. luck2ya !!
