BLUEGILL RENDEVOUIS
Back in the old days the old mountain men would get together for a rendevous , Tootie and I were just wondering who would be interested and like to join us in early Sept on Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee for a Old fashion bluegill rendevouis . This wont be a fishing tournament but just a BBG get together for a good time catching fish, eating good,swapping flies and lies. Does this not sound like too much fun ! We arn't getting any younger, let us know what you think! LOFR

I'll block out two days before that weekend and be sitting on go. I also volunteer ( as Tennesseans are known for) to do as many scouting trips as possible. If the wind blows there are several watershed lakes close by that are more protected, so finding a spot to fish will not be a problem. I look forward to meeting you guys and showing you around one of wonders of the World.

Thats great Keith. We were wondering if you were going to stay with us at night so you wouldn't have to drive home?

Somebody will have to keep an eye on you Old Farts. With your many pee trips in the middle of the night you might wander off and get lost.

New guy here-would love to attend this first rendezvous now that we are retired. Assume there are places to stay close by? since we don't have a camper and tent camping we just don't do anymore.

There are lots of places to stay around the lake. They are usually full during the crappie spawn and duck season. Any thing from rooms to cabins to lodges. But should get a good rate at that time of the year.
