Went to TN River/Hog Creek and crappie fished Friday afternoon and nearly all day Saturday. Caught 15 for both days total (for both of us), 7 a day. Water temp was 53 deg. The most anyone we talked to caught was 10 with most catching 4 or 5 per boat.
Still was a great trip, got to spend some quality time with an old friend I graduated from High School with at Dyer. We had a lot of catching up to do. He had a boat and a cabin up there.
So turned out the trip was one of the best ever, even with slow fishing.
1. What is the temp when they begin spawning? We caught a few at 7 to 8 ft but also a few at 3 ft. Many had eggs.
2. Would Kentucky Lake proper be slightly warmer than the river?
3. What's Reelfoot doing now. I'd think it would warm much faster. I've been searching the web for water temps on Reelfoot but about all I get is ads.
I'm getting out somewhere yet before I go back to CO, have about a week left, maybe Reelfoot, maybe Gibson county Lake. Also a bit of turkey hunting.
4. Stuff seems like about 2 wks to a month behind, fishing and hunting.
Thanks Ray
