Taylorsville Lake 3/27

[james_677]

Took the boat down to Taylorsville yesterday. I've done a lot of work to it over the winter and mainly just wanted to try everything out. Water temps ranged from 48-52 degrees. Found lots of shad breaking shallow but no bass. Couple of guys at the dock had a little better luck than me but didn't sound like anyone did great.

How did your boat do? What kind of work did you do to it?

Went through the carbs late last season. Moved the old Lowrance from the transom to the tm, put a new Hummingbird 570 on the back. Blew out my alarm horn on the forward controls last year so had to replace it. I put new tires on the trailer a cleaned everything up. It left me stranded on Guist a couple weeks back but I think I've got it going now.

Jarrod,

I’ve heard that lake is tuff but I’m going to stick it out and try and learn it, as long as I can keep that old boat running! I’ve got a Wife in Grad school and a 7 month old so I need a lake that’s close to the house since its tuff to find the time for an all day trip. I grew up fishing but I’ve gotten away from it with college and work over the past few years. This year I’ve decided to make time for it and really get back into it. I’m going to try and join a bass club and maybe fish a few tourneys since I’ve heard both are a great way to learn. I’d love to hit the lake with you sometime if we can. I work Banker’s hours so have a few evenings/days off through the week every month. Shoot me a pm sometime and we try and work it out.

My father and grandfather fished Taylorsville for years before I was old enough to do so. It was only about four years ago before I was asked by a friend of mine to fish the lake with him. We fished some tournaments that year, won one, and placed well in a few. I always enjoyed fishing the lake and I realized with the pressure it gets both recreational and fishing wise, for the way the lake lays I always thought it was very productive. I believe every fish I caught there was a keeper, and even though it was a little tough it is worth it and I wouldn't be discouraged.

Glad you got everything going on your boat...I have a little flat bottom aluminum boat that I have been messing with for a few years now, so I know how it is when you want everything to go right out there on the lake...Good luck with your fishing this year!!!
