It is time once again for the annual Invasion of Tennessee!! Three glorious days of crappie fishing at beautiful Reelfoot Lake in the northwest Tennessee. The only bad part is I have to come back home when it's over.

If the fishing is crappy, why do you go?

Good one.


We're back and I'm wore out. The fishing was tough. The crappie are still out in the deeper water (12+ feet) and haven't moved into the shallower water in anticipation of spawning. We only kept the larger fish that were at least 12", anything smaller than this we released. We fished the main lake Thursday and Friday but a cool front moved in on Saturday and really churned up the water so we did a lot of bank fishing in a small lake off of Reelfoot.

Next year a couple of us are talking about going down there for an entire week instead of just three days. Every trip is a learning experience, but also a lot of fun.
