Mississippi in the Fall

I just tried pulling cranks on Enid at the crank fest and had a ball. Still a bunch to learn but at least I'm trying. The weather was great. Very little wind and almost glass smooth water. I am used to the spring fronts,5-20 mph winds and rain. Just lucky I guess.:banghead

Here is the jist of this post. I still have a credit on my account with the parks and was wondering what is the best time to set up a fall trip. I'm retired so other than the first two weeks of October I am pretty much open to anything.

Thanks Bo

Depending on the weather, I'd say them last 2 weeks of October or first 2 of November should be really good. Lakes shouldn't be pulled all the way down yet and weather should be really nice. Be minnow pushing time for most by that time.

Does MS stand for Minn-a-Soda??? Cause I'm way yonder south of that line!

Well, every boat that I see in Mississippi that supposedly is from Mississippi is registered in Michigan. Every history book I've ever read in school the state abbreviation for Mississippi is MS. And the abbreviation for Michigan is MI.

So, are all of ya'll from Michigan? That's DEEP into Yankee territory!!!!!!!

ROTFL!!!!

That's cause you're just a chap, you see in the old days MISS was the abreviation and Mississippi boat registration us MI for the first part of the numbers. Then some yankee came along with a bright idea to shorten the abreviations to just 2 letters saving us an awesome .0357 seconds now when we right it, thanks yank, and apparently Mississippi had dibs on MI.
I do love when some guy from Illinois ask me, what part of Michigan you from, I just tell em about 30 miles south of Detroit!!!:Rofl

This thread brings to mind what happened to me at Reelfoot in 2014. We were staying at Cypress Point, and you had to back about 40 yards to their ramp due to buildings on both sides. A Yankee said to me "You back pretty good for somebody from Michigan". I replied "I'm not from Michigan, I'm from Mississippi". His expression changed to a blank stare when I opened my mouth with my southern drawl accent. I couldn't think of an appropriate reply at the time. Rees, maybe you can give me one!
No offense to our friends in Michigan, but I sure wish our boat registration would be MS instead of MI! I'm proud of my State and our fisheries.

Hey, Rees Guide, did you mean 300 miles south of Detroit in your post above?

Rees Guide

More than any 300 miles!!!

Regardless, if I leave the ranch here in Paducah southern bound, I can be pulling off of the Grenada exit in 4 hours 15 minutes!
And for the record, the bluegrass state is in the south! We are definitely below the Mason-Dixon Line!

The Mason Dixon Line has nothing to do with this.

I know y’all do. Mississippi is one of my favorite places to visit. Great food and everyone I’ve met has been nice. Where else can you get bbq ribs and catfish once I found that place I new I was home.

I will also be making a trip to either Enid or Grenada the last of oct or the first of November. My question is : can someone give me a good recommendation for overnight accommodations? Must be able to charge my boat overnight. I have passed by all of these lakes 100 times on my way to college but have never fished one yet. Thanks and Hailstate!
