Taylorsville help??

[stratos1387]

I'm not asking for anybodies secrets but how do you catch a bass at taylorsville. I've thrown everything but only pick up maybe 1 short fish. I'm about to just give up on that lake.

Crappiepappy has some good knowledge on fishing Tville. I don't bass fish Tville much because like you I struggled. But I have done well the last 2 trips I've been there. I threw plastics at em around cover. I used dark colors and fished late evening into the night. Might have to try fishing Tville more often or my last 2 trips may have been a fluke. Who knows....

Ive zerod my last two trips

Man it's a tough lake with all the pressure it gets. I fish it because it's close to home but I rarely bass fish it. I chase the hybrids and whites and crappie fish it. I've been skunked bass fishing Tville hundreds of times. But occasionally I'll have a good day. What part of the lake have you been fishing?

Fished my first TNT the other night. This is the first year I've seriously bass fished tville and have done very well. First trip out caught a 5lb and a 3 and the next trip (yesterday) my partner and I caught 14 bass all in the 12-14 inch area. Of course the size limit for the tournament was 15 inches so we didn't weigh a fish but we had 6 fish that were in between 14 and 15 inches. Several fish off jigs and spinners. Can't say we caught any more fish on one part of the lake than the other. Just find points or small creeks on the main lake. Fish the cover that's harder to see. Most obvious cover has already been fished so many times it's not funny. You gotta find small or fully submerged cover that you wouldn't normally fish. We would catch fish off a single stick shooting into the water right next to a big nasty brush pile which probably got fished right before we showed up. Good luck, drew

LOL .... thanks for the vote of confidence, but I haven't Bass fished T-ville in quite a few years. But, when I did go strictly for Bass, I'd fish it on bright moon nights ... find a dark bank with lots of standing timber & pitch a 4" plastic craw (t-rigged) right up on the bank & drag it off the dry bank into the water. Seemed like the Bass were nosed right up against the bank, and if your bait landed a foot or so off the shoreline ... they spooked or just didn't come after it. That tactic wasn't a fluke, because I repeated it many times with decent success. Best time seemed to be between 11PM & 2AM.

Also used to catch a few good fish on the bank between the launch ramp & gas dock at Settlers ... cranks &/or plastics ... until they posted that area as a "No Fishing" zone. (and that might tell you how long it's been since I've Bass fished at T-ville ... LOL !! )

... pappy

Haha gotta give a little credit where it's due. I've been out twice at night doing about the same things you've suggested and have caught fish.
