why is it so hard to fish LAUREL...

[ryan_ekubass]

i grew up 15 minutes down the road to laurel and i always found my self driving 2 hours to dale or 1 hour to norris to fish and i hear about all these big smallies comin out of there and i go and i cant catch anything hardly and it stinks i think my biggest fish i ever caught out of there was in dec fnf off a bank i can go in the spring up in spruce creek and nothing i hear some of my buddies complain about it.... i just dont know what to do everything i do in all the other lakes that i catch fish on there doesnt work in laurel... shaky, jig, crankin, and creature bait fishing..... i just think that lake was built on indian burial ground and somehow i am cursed to not catchin any fish on it.....

Perhaps it is due to loss of concentration. Always gotta wonder how many times someone will break into your vehicle while you are on the lake.

I fish Laurel usually once a week if not more. Its a deep lake with deep points. Just alot of places for the sm to go. I have had success many times on Laurel. But there are days sometimes weeks that I will not catch a thing. Do alot better in the Spring and early summer than anything. You just got to locate cover and find some good points. Went fishing yesterday. Me and a buddy was wanting to try fnf since it was so windy you couldnt do nothing else. We didnt have any luck but seen the fish getting caught. I went 2 weeks ago and done real good.
