Reelfoot 11-7-08

Started this morning at 7am. By 8:30 had 8 fish. From 8:30-10:30 still only had 8 fish. Changed my approach and had the 30 fish limit by noon.

Culled a few, but mostly just started throwing all my fish back. Threw back 10 or so that could have replaced some that i kept but i didnt feel like diggin em out of the livewell.

Had alot of fun today. Front changed their behavior, but didnt hurt the fishing. Had a blast. I fully believe if had known what was going on the 2 hours I didnt catch anything, I would have had alot more big fish.

No monsters, just the one 1 1/2lb, and 5 more over 1lb. Several 3/4lb up to a lb. Had the lake to myself. Only a few other boats out there. Maybe 5 or 6. Wind was real bad, but the fish didnt care none.

Yea baby, thats what I'm talking bout. Congradulations. Back when I was a preteen, my uncle and aunt had a cabin on the lake and I loved to go up there to visit. They had one of those canoe looking boats with a lawn mower motor inboard and a ramp they could roll the little boat inside a boathouse. Beautiful lake.

Nice catch.

Way to go WTC.

its hammer time ;)

I guess i will have to start guiding for a few weeks while I'm catching all these fish :D

Nice catch-congrats!!!

nice fish

Congrats on a nice mess of big Specks!!!

the wife (my primary fishin' partner among other things) and I have been talkin' with Reelfoot Yankee about our traditional spring break run down south for some o' them BIG slabs. He's got me hooked on the Foot this time. Have made a couple of trips to KY lake and am lookin' for a new/diff destination. We are sorta locked into the first full week in April as that is spring break week for her school district. Hope this spring the water levels are better than last.

Keep me posted on how things are progressing on the Foot and we will have to hook up with each other and RFY when spring arrives.

BTW nice catch dude!
