Talked to several guys, they all had similiar catches with monster crappie. I caught mine casting jigs to the shore in 2-5 ft water. I was the only boat all the way back in Dog creek for most of the day,the other anglers were having good luck fishing 8-15ft water with minnows & jigs. If you want to save some gas money Ky.Lake has nothing on the fish I saw y-day. And I go there every year with much success. I've been fishing Nolin for 20 yrs, and can only remember 4-5 yrs that it was this good. You may catch a few more 3 lbs at Ky lake, but to me not worth the gas money or fighting the wind on the big lake.
I tagged into one of those monster crappies at cub run Friday. Biggest crappie I've ever caught in the Nolin waters. Wasn't fishing for crappies and didn't measure him but he was defiantly between 15 to 20". Caught him on a rattle trap. Fried him up for lunch that day. Also had a hey day on the large mouths.
