The G3 Sportsman this week.
Have any of you seen the G3 Sportsman show this week? They was fishing for big blue gills on Reelfoot lake. Aw son, made me want to get over there for one of those weekends. Im a crappie guy, but that was interesting watching them fish those cypress trees for the gills.
here on reelfoot the blue gills are just as fun, maybe better than crappie fishing at times. i usually catch the big black ones that will pee every where when you grab them to take the hook out. you need to come and try it.
Hey Keith29, when is the best time to come up that way?
A poem formed from boredom, I bring right here to you,
it stems from too much snow, and fishing I can't go do. :(
I'd love to be out fishing.............for crappie, as you know,
but I'm stuck in Lincoln co, looking at a huge pile of snow.:mad:
Between things for work, and honeydo's given by the wife,
it's taken up my time for fishing, and left me without a life.:confused:
It aint too bad...... I don't guess, for winter fishing's tough and pretty slow,
But man, what I'd give right now, for one 65 degree day to go.:)
So I guess it's time to watch the tube, and see crappie fishing on the set,
but just as soon as weather permits, I'll be out there you can bet.;)
So back to work I go, and not thinking of what I'm missing,
It surely will warm up again someday, and then I'll go back fishing. :D

I love this station I lisen to it on my way to work before 105.5 cuts it out at 5am and when I am searchin the web.Hope u like
What about you Trashtrout? I know you bound to of went fishing. Report? LOL
On the full moon or new moon or does it matter?
I hope it warms up soon.........Bout to drive me nuts........Whose gonna be in super bowl out of these 4 teams left?
My call is Pittsburg vs Chicago for the superbowl............What do you think?
Pitt and GB
1st full moon in may at laurel hills, for b-gills,the lake is between lawrenceburg & waynesboro on hwy.64.it's a nice lake, i carried a group of boys from church over there a couple of years ago. the boys had a good time camping & fishing,just being boys!!!!there is an on site store that rents flat bottom boats or you can carry your own. there is a nice ramp there if you want to carry your own boat.
Cant think of anything fishing related to talk about. Whose gonna win the super bowl? Anybody around here care?
I believe with the temperature getting up to 50 today,I think the crappie willtake an early lead but the fisherman will pull it out late in the game. What time does the Super Bowl start?
Game starts ar 530 central
Packers 23, Steelers 10. Heading to Tim's today Bar. pressure is up for a change so maybe that will spark em into feedin.
Good luck. We will be waiting for a report.
I chased calves for 2 hours last night in the swamp behind my house and finally got them up at around 9 last night.Layed in bed all night trying to decide whether to raise calves or fish this summer.Well the calves are on the trailer and heading to unionville this morning.Gonna meet Jason at Morris Ferry around 2 for some fishing.....life is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I got online to see the reports from you guys who went fishing.:) No reports so I will give one...........Decided to go to Guntersville for a night trip last night and Tracy was game to go as well but it just was not the night to be there. Weather turned off totally clear skies and NO breeze what so ever. I was expecting cloudy, windy, cold, yucky weather. Should have went tonight instead...Gonna try again very soon. May hit it right yet. :) We only fished a couple hours. Caught 1 striper.
I dont know if it matters or not. Never have went by it.
Last time I fished I was still fishing like I was in November. Not til today did I realize why I had almost no fish. Thermocline. I'll bet I was at or below the thermocline and since there's little or no Oxygen, there was little to no fish. I have to keep that in mind next time out. Water temp was 38, I think the fish wanted jackets, not jigs.
I was reading a book a while back, and this particular book says that the lakes in the south, do not turn over twice a year as the lakes in the north do. He said that the southern lakes only turn over in the fall and dont in the spring. Now, I dont know if that means that our lakes dont stratefy in the winter or not, as I would think you are right Skeet and there may be an area now where the oxygen is very low. Would love to see more comments on this today. Good subject. If I had to guess, I would say that the oxygen levels are better deep now, than above if there is winter stratification or layering of the water. Will be the first to admit that I dont know. I have very little winter fishing experience. I have caught some nice fish deep in March however and shallow to for that matter.
Biker
A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about to
jump off a bridge so they stop. The leader, a big burly man, gets off his
bike and says, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to commit a suicide," she says.
While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an
opportunity he asked "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a Kiss?"
So, she does and it was a long, deep lingering kiss.
After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best Kiss I have
ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous. Why
are you committing suicide?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl......"
Thats a good one...
Hey Fishawk, How that day go? 5 below zero here and can"t get the boat to leave the garage.
Same old story, loads of dinks and only 1 keeper!! Weather is lookin real good for next week, may head down to Guntersville. I met a guy the other day who guides there. Maybe by the time you get here in April I'll have Guntersville figured out! It's only about an hr. drive.
Even if you could get the boat out of the garage I doubt you'd get far with those 5 ft. drifts!!!
I supply Boat and Gas
you supply your own bait drink and food
cant get much better deal then that
Deep water fishing is all it is about in April here. I am looking forward to our trip in the spring. Will we be fishing tree tops, or brush?
The math teacher saw that Little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said, 'Johnny! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?' Johnny quickly replied, 'NBC, FOX, ESPN and the Cartoon Network!' Rofl
Man, I hate Las Vegas.:( I wish I was home instead fishing. I have spent way too much time out of town these last three and four months, but maybe its mostly over now.
I hear the weather dont seem suitable for fishing this coming saturday and its got me bummed out about it. I think I am better than Beau though. My wife told me he has been pretty depressed since I been gone on yet another week of being out of town. I get home about midnight friday night though and hope I dont have to go away for several months again. I attached a picture Sherry sent me of Beau.lol He does look like he misses me.Rofl
Man you may be more depressed when you hear what I did yesterday.
Yea, I was depressed when he told me he was cullin!! I struggled to get 2! I guess the deep water bite is pretty much over until the water gets hot>
Hey guys, When the water cools in the fall and through winter, in reaches it's maximum density at around 39 degrees and begins to sink. Water colder than this stays above this as it has less density, hence ice floats. It takes a long cold period for a winter stratification. The cold water sinks and mixes as it does this. The stratification does not start until the mixing is done and a thermocline can develope. Southern winters don't typically last long enough. Kinda raises more questions than it answers.
WE had a lot of 38 or 39 water around here for a couple of months.
I thought this was a neat sign,at least
it appeared so

I just remembered that we have this off topic area for venting etc, so I am going to express what I feel right here so it get's out my system without any damages.lol Two different times now, that I am sure I remember and it may of been more, but for two times now, this one boat in particular has come way, way too close to me and disrupted my fishing while the lake was wide open and he had no reason to get even near me. Why in the world would anybody come by you wide open 50 feet from your vessel and your on one side of the lake? Then after dreaming about this again last night, I realized I have my feelings bottled up inside about it cause I dreamed about what I might do to get back at him and that is not good. In all seriousness, two wrong's don't make a right, but if I ever catch this guy at the ramp, I am going to let him know I don't appreciate being ran over to save him 7 seconds more to fish with. This boat I won't describe here, but I know exactly what the boat looks like. I will say it's very different in color to most boats. Both times I had issues with him was on Normandy. I feel all better now. :)
I know what you mean GCF.... There is a blue fiberglass boat with 2 foreigners on Tims Ford that are gonna learn southern hospitality has its limits.They have come between me and the bank while fishing, have trolled right up to me while i was fishing.I have said something to them about it and they just smile and say something that I cant translate.The last time they did that I turned the front of boat toward them and they left. Maybe I wont have any more trouble with them.
