    Default Spider rigging Lake Jack Nolan


    I am thinking about skipping out on the deer woods this weekend and fishing instead. I am familiar with Jack Nolan, but am not sure if a man will be able to do much good spider rigging there. I am just wondering if anyone has tried it out there and if so, what where the results?

    Sorry I didn't reply earlier, that's around my neck of the woods. I usually can't even put my boat in jack Nolan without getting hung up on a stump. I would think spider rigging would be pretty tough

    No problem. I can be at the boat ramp in about 5 minutes. I know what you mean about the stumps! I just trim up and take it slow if I headed to the dam, otherwise it’s a trolling game. I know there are plenty of crappie in there but don’t know where to start. I know blue mountain like the back of my hand just not jack Nolan. It’s just too convenient to not learn it!

    Well I’ve not got much info. It is stumpy, but I? only post 4-5 jigs in one area because I? hit a high brush pile. I’ll count that as a win for spider rigging. I? fished 6 rods for about 2.5 hours with no luck. Got a few light bites. Then I? jigged the standing timber and even used minnows. Never caught a single fish. I? could see them on the graph, but couldn’t get them to bite.

    I grew up on Jack Nolan and we used to catch some good crappie out there around the old pond about 10-15 years ago. I would shoot for the dam around the spill way or there is a couple “channels” that you can run your boat and not hit anything.

    Nimrod to answer your question about Saugeye I haven’t fished it much in 10 years but we used to catch them fairly regular on spinnerbaits bass fishing and they were all about 15-18 inches long and boy some good eating but I would question if there was a growing population of them.
