Take a kid fishing this weekend - 4th of July 2011

Lake level - normal summertime pool level

My neighbors - Quint and Jill Dupoyster from Ky got to go this morning for about 3 hours down in the Davis Bend area and Moultrie Field - lower end fishing in about 10 feet of water and caught a very nice box of Reelfoot Lake Crappie on minnows - total 38.

July looks like its going be another great month to catch crappie on Reelfoot Lake - the Crappie fishing lake in Tennessee

Jill said she caught more than Quint - RoflRoflHands Clapping

Just got 3 things to say:

A. I'm stuck at home this weekend
B. Looks like y'all had fun
C. Your lucky my legs look shorter separately than yours look where they meet. Damnit.

The least you can do after those pics is tell us about colors, forecasts, and how we might, maybe get so lucky in the weeks to come. I mean, there's proud, and then there's cruel.

Well guys one day on the "Foot" catching some nice July crappie from 5:30 am to 9:45 am.

Water temp about 80 to 82 this morning - wind very light to 5 miles per hour but got up to about 10-15 before we had to come in - due to rain - North East

Fish were hitting light again but bitting good overall

Fished in 9' to 12' feet of water in the Spains Point to Half Moon Basin area

Used jigs and minnows on 12' poles - works well - 6lb line - several different colored jigs

We caught a few nice crappie (26) - Thumbs Up

Well guys one day on the "Foot" catching some nice July crappie 07-08- 2011.Hands Clapping

Water temp about 80 to 83 this morning - wind very light to 5 miles per hour
Fish were hitting light again but bitting good overall
Fished 6' to 10' feet deep in water that was about 15 foot deep

In the Fence Row area of Lower Blue Basin out from the Reelfoot Lake Spillway Dam.

Used jigs and minnows with 12' poles - works well - 6lb line 1/4 oz and 1/8 oz jigs some poles just had minnows on them

If you notice some of the males were still black looking - caught them on two big stumps with a log were the females had justed spawned - I found it very interesting that we are having a few females just now spawning in deep water - but this has happen before on the "FOOT"

Al,

Have you caught any fish in last week at the Reelfoot.

Thanks,
Ringo

I will be heading down to Reelfoot in a couple of weeks with my two young sons. I hope I can get them on some fish. We are staying at Eagle Nest Resort. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
