OK, the weather didn't cooperate....wind and waves, then colder nights dropped lake temps from near 60 to 55 by Tuesday 4/21. The fish moved back to deeper water and lockjaw set in, no daily limits...

Having been at least 7 years since my last trip, I was really disappointed in this latest one. Many of the nice places to eat and stay are no longer open or have new ownership and lesser quality and...

Recent boat maintenance completed, equipment 99% ready...a trip to Reelfoot is imminent. Most of the lodging locations don't require reservations that I contacted. Having the luxury to leave on a...

I first fished Reelfoot over 20 years ago and have had some very memorable trips. Having recently retired, I now have time to go when the weather and mood hits rather than pre-schedule a weekend...

It is full of stumps, and depending upon the lake level you may see many of them...or not until it is too late. I use a jet when I go but still have to travel slow. There are no marked channels or...

How much per nite would you be wanting for 3-4 people? Missouri group here normally stay at Reelfoot Lake Inn

The filter to which you refer is a water separator filter and available, and necessary, now. Wal-Mart even carries a model. Ethanol being technically an alcohol, has water in it originally and...

Is Reelfoot still a fishing spot or has it faded out? I never hear anyone fishing the lake or making reports anymore. As an out of state angler, I have made many trips to Reelfoot but the last few...

Mid June is Bass, Bluegill and Catfish time for sure. Crappie is a crap shoot at best depending upon how early/late the spawn was. Get a lake map in advance as this is a shallow lake so oxygen levels...

Unless the weather gets very warm early, your best bet will be the upper basin in my opinion. It is much more shallow and stumpy but the grass banks and open water warm better and the fish bite...

As for cabins, I'd suggest calling Boyette's Resort and they can do you good. Depending upon what kind of boat you have whether you should ask for a package deal. I have an alweld jetdrive and have...

I have a Suzuki 40 jetdrive on Allweld 1648 with 4 seats, livewell, transom foot Minn Kota troller, carpet and dual depth finders front/rear on a Bear trailer. Tiller sterring and runs in 2" water at...

It seems no one really cares about Reelfoot lake this year. I have had trouble finding any accurate and current reports all spring. Has the fishing dropped off that badly or does no one go there...

Last year at this time, all you heard about was "where can I get a chatterbait" and I wonder how many are for sale now? I got several before they became a spring fever, at the original price and I...

Are there any used planer boards for sale here? Looking for 1 or 2 sets for striper trolling. Hate to pay the list price for new ones if someone has some used ones for sale as I will only use them...

I'm looking for some reasonably priced used salt rod/reel combo. Prefer a roller rod and conventional reel but will consider all offers. Ebay sells crap for new price, rather look from others who may...

Sister-in-law kept the boat after a divorce with electronics but no tackle. I plan to go down for the Destin Rodeo in Oct but really need some good advice. What is the best method to protect my...

To question 1, I'd like to know TOO! For number 2, Reelfoot Lake Inn is new,nice and great location. Nice people and can handle a larger number of guests than most other resorts. I'm wanting to make...

The big deal WAS the availability. Only a few weeks ago the only big outlet was eBay and for outlandish prices...... supply and demand! The bait is like described and not a super catch all. I waited...

I can't imagine anyone buying them off Ebay for $20 and up when going direct to Radlures will make a weight and color of your exact choice for about $7 each. The jury is as yet still out on my...

Guys I bought them online from Radlures site direct for $7 each and delivered in 2-3 weeks. Ebay is making a killin' off the fever with some selling as high as $20 apiece. Jury is still out on them...

Just got in a few hours ago from 4 days at Reelfoot. Wed was a banner day, caught a near limit of 1 1/2 to 2 lb fish and a few short bass. All caught in open water of 9-11 feet of Lower Blue basin,...

We will be there same time April 5-9 and it's not too late at all. Actually, you should be able to catch plenty and good size. I used to go in March and froze my Butt off too. Windy and rainy and...

I just talked to a friend at the lake who said the crappie are biting right now. Wind has slowed the boaters and keeps them close to the dock and out of the main wind force but still able to find...

Try removing one sparkplug and get the plugwire away from any metal. Hold your thumb or finger over the plug hole and see if it has sufficient pressure to blow past as you crank very slowly. You...

We will be going April 5-9 this year. You can expect a good crappie bite if the weather holds close to normal and winds are light. Check out ALL the reports before you go, but obviously that is just...

The upper Blue basin is extremely shallow and stumpy. All the lake has stumps and submerged wood, but that part of the lake is challenging at best but I have caught loads of fish there on occassions...

I fish Reelfoot every Spring for crappie and make several more trips for bass and catfish. March can be OK for bass but I'd not expect a very good bite. It's usually still slow until April but the...

I absolutely love fishing from my pontoon. We use it for bass, crappie and leisure fishing all summer and trolled for stripers on Beaver Lake Ark. My issue is the location and inconvenience of trying...

I have a Rebel 4 1/2" #2201 Silver in original box. Address says Plastics research and Development Corp i Ft Smith Ark with no zip code which makes it pre 1963. Any info or help with dating this...
