Don't let these guys discourage you, T-ville has a very good LM population, yes they get pressured but to compensate for that you have two options. Grab a jig or plastic and beat the banks off like everyone else and hope you trick one or two into eating it or take a reaction bait and just fly around that lake covering as much water as possible. A bass is a bass no matter how much pressure it gets and if you burn a spinnerbait or CB up to ones nose and kill it or flare the blades, its gonna eat it every time, I like taylorsville, best approach, power fish!

I agree. Its a fun lake. The reaction bite is your best bet. Cover as much water as possible. If you don't loose at least 3 crankbaits your not fishing it close enough to the brush. Good luck

Im not trying to discourage anyone,just trying to inform that there are much better choices not to far away.In a hundred mile radius Taylorsville is by far the worst lake.I dont think anyone could successfully argue that point.

Big sacks at Taylorsville, BAHAWAHABAHAWA, my God I'm still laughing. Some of you pros need to go up there and give all these guys in the tournaments the what for. I mean with a forty boat tourney and three fish getting top prize you should have no problem. When that lake was first impounded it was the bomb, no question about it. Ah but then came 20 tourneys a week for years on end and well it went to hell in a hand basket. This is my take and if ANYBODY can consistently go to that mudhaole and catch five good keepers on a consistent basis you better start fishing for a living. When they had the BASS event there several years back some of the pros were making jokes about there being no fish in the lake. I think Alton Jones won it with three fish. Look don't get me wrong I know there are fish in the lake I've had good days there, but with freaking gas at 3.18 per gallon, I would rather fish a farm pond then deadlorsville. 20 tourneys a week for years= rotten fishing, just my humble opinion.

It is a tough lake to fish. I have had some good days. But I have had many more bad days. You can go there on a weekday and the place would be packed. Go to Nolin, Rough or Barren and you will see one other boater. Plus T-ville is a little smaller by about 2,000 acres.

Someone may know this better than me, but when T-ville was originaly flooded wasn't it going to be 6,000 acres and they decided not to flood that much hunting land? I have heard that from several people but never from someone in the know. Thanks Ryan.

I heard the same thing before Ryan, I don't know if it's true or not.

Alton didn't win the tournament at Taylorsville, he actually won it at Guist the day before with a good limit. If you recall the day they were at taylorsville it was terribly cold and windy and I don't believe any of the pro's blanked. Dustin Wilks had a limit and Zell Rowland had a big bass around 7 pounds. All this and they only fished four hours during that tournament. I was in the boat with Davey Hite that day and he had four keepers all came from up above Van Buren.


Not trying to defend Taylorsville, just saying that fish can be caught if you feel like working for them.
