My Reelfoot trip.....

Fishing sucked, beer was good.
Water was down 18" stumps all over the place, you could only idle around for fear of getting hung up. Which we did on a few occasions. Caught a few huge Bowfin (dogfish), a few cats, yellow bass, and a couple crappie.
All in all the worst fishing experience of my life. Too bad thing I spent good money and drove 7 hours to do it!
Good friends, good beer, good times, but not a lot of fish.
We had beautiful weather on the first day.
Took a turn after that....
Day one....
The rest of the time, was just like this....

Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

Guess now you know why they make Realfoot boats. I should have warned you but I figured you knew about how shallow it was. I lived about 45 min. from there for about 10 years. We fished there in the spring only. Usually just for bluegill. We always took jon boats w/ jet drives on the outboard and even they would get hung up on all of the stumps. At least you got to get away with friends and cold beer. That was worth it in itself.
Yeah, I guess.
We knew it was shallow, but the water was down 18" as well. Stumps galore.
It was the lowest the lake has been in 23 years. So most of those stumps haven't been out of the water in 20+ years.
