It's pretty slow on here so I'll post a picture, not crappie but one of the best fishing trips of my youth. Reelfoot lake 4 friends fishing away from home rented cabin, boat, took a bus across the State to fish for a week. around 1962.
While cleaning fish we were catching Garr off the cleaning pier.
Good times!
I am suffering from cabin fever, wanted to go today, but wind kept me home. Had family here on and off since last Friday so today was my first chance and the wind blows like crazy.
Neat picture from old times and good memories. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Grady. Brings back some memories. In those days, we had a 12 ft. jon boat that we hauled to probably 30 ponds that we fished. I was the motor! Boy we caught a lot of fish. I was lucky enough to get to clean them all so daddy could give the pond owners a nice mess of dressed Bass, crappie, bream, and shell crackers. Lucky me!
I have a lot of old memories fishing Santee out of 1 man paddle boats. Thanks for sharing Grady
Nice memories there Grady.
Thanks for sharing.
My memories are sitting on a pier on Wylie catching catfish in the Belmont area. Good times fishing with my Daddy and good friend and owner of the pier Mason Linge felt.
brings back old memories for me as well and I think I had a pair of those ugly shorts too! we are about same age and always loved to catch a mess of gills.
That must have been a great trip.Yea, i remember those madress shorts and shirts.. Aagh the good ole days.. I hope everyone has a great New Year.
Grady i am looking forward to teaming up again this year and busting some more crappie. Take care
Bet this will liven you up !

Hey Robert, if you want to get up a group of maybe 4 or 6 to get a cabin or two at Reelfoot for a week or so I'm game.
Ray when fished there they rented something like a dug out with a Briggs Startion motor with thru the bottom shaft. I'd be afraid to take a "normal" boat there. It was stump city eveywhere
Can't be any worse than the upper Santee.Attachment 255423
There are just as many underwater that you can't see too.
