Taylorsville is my "home" Crappie lake ... but I haven't been able to fish it much this year. Seems every time I could go ... it was flooded, or recovering from having been flooded.
Normally in Nov. I would be fishing the deep water standing trees (esp large Cedar hulks) at about 6-8ft deep, with minnows. Used to get some pretty good fish doing that. Don't fish much with minnows, anymore ... but can still count on getting some on tube jigs, especially on the larger blowdown trees that stick out into deep water (>15ft).
They seem to be getting some size to them, over the past few years ... and I've heard of some 2lb fish coming from there. Several years ago I caught a 15fish limit that weighed 10lbs (average 3/4lb per fish) ... and that's the best I've done there, so far. I'm just hoping that the messed up spawns of the last few years doesn't come back to haunt us in the next couple of years. But .... there's always Cedar Creek, if Taylorsville starts to wane in production. Those Black Crappie at Cedar Creek are due to be well over the 9in size limit by next year ... and they've got a whole lot less lake to hide in ..LOL!! .................luck2ya ..........cp
