    Thumbs up Taylorsville trip 4/22/2020


    Onready & I took our first fishing trip of the year (and it seems like it's been a year since the last one ) and decided to head over to Taylorsville Lake. Pulled in at Settler's Trace & the lot was full, so we motored around to Possum Ridge & launched at around 1030AM.

    Water temps 60-63deg
    Water condition - clear to murky
    Keepers (11-12" fish) 18 (mix of males & females, all White Crappie)
    Egg condition - gold to dark yellow (gold eggs were mushy)
    Bait of the day ... Junebug/Chartreuse CB Slider on 1/16oz weedless jighead
    Depth 3-8ft deep in less than 10fow







    That's all folks ... thanks for checking it out

    My wife and I were there too at Settlers Trace. Had to park the truck up the hill and still was a line waiting to launch. We got there about noon. As soon as I launched, I realized that my registration for the boat was on the kitchen counter, decals and all🤬! So we didn’t travel far so as not to get a citation but we found a nice little cove and fished our way back into
    it. Water was 60 degrees at the mouth and 64 in the back of the cove. Ended up with 4 keepers and 4 or 5 throwbacks. Fishing with minnows 3 ft deep in 6 to 8 ft of water. Feel sure we could have caught more if we had moved around more but had a great day anyway!

    On a side note, we talked to a guy at the Settler’s Trace store that claimed he was at the state ramp and someone tried to steal his boat trailer in broad daylight this morning. Everyone be aware, these big crowds attract people with bad intentions!

    Congrats! On the theft post I always lock my trailer to the ball and have a lock securing the hitch through the mount as well.

    Good job CP. I got there at 4:00. Had to go to Possum Ridge Ramp also. Caught ten keepers but had fun. One note, when I was leaving they were posting signs that ramp opens at 7:00am and closes at 7:00 PM. They were shutting the gates as I pulled off.

    You may have seen me, then .... we pulled out right behind the tow truck, and they shut the gates behind us

    That is so funny. I watched them move the family out and yes saw the toll truck coming.
