    Default Reelfoot 8-17-12


    I had the pleasure of being able to fish Friday with my Dad. Reelfoot is really low and had dropped to 10.06 as of today. My old buddy Allen has been showing me how to jig them stumps!! We were doing pretty good until the wind picked up and I hit a stump that was below the surface and busted my trolling motor. I was very proud to catch this Crappie and we ended up with 15 but had to leave after I busted the troling motor. I have always been a trollimg man but you just can't beat that thump when your holding that pole in your hand. I have learned a lot from my crappie.com friends and I Thank Each and Everyone of You. Well got the parts on order from Minnkota so I'll back in business before long.
    Thanks,
    Lynn

    Sorry to hear about your motor. How deep was the lake where you were jigging, and how deep were they hitting?

    The lake is really low right now hard to unload at some of the ramps. I was fishing in 7ft of water and catching them 4ft deep.

    Even though you expect "ouchies'" at Reelfoot, it still stings to have make repairs. That $100 bucks would buy some good stuff at Grizzly!

    Yes, I fish like a girl. If you tried a little harder, you could too!!
