    Reelfoot Results 4-8-06

    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, winds were light and perfect for drifting. Thurs was a damp start but openned into a fair day, again only good fish but a few less than the previous day and the wind was a definite issue most of the day. Jigs with minnows in same pattern was the method again. Fri came with a few storms passing nearby but only wind and clouds but the fish knew of the coming weather and bit sporadic in the morning and then hit & miss before ending in a cloudburst. Deep,shallow,and in between depths and on small spinners,jigs and minnows. Almost no way of patternning the fish at all. Today, we awoke to see news of more tornadic devastation west of the lake and could see the 3' wakes and whitecaps on the lake from the room. We gave it a short lived try but the wind finally sent us to the bank empty handed. Remember those in Caruthersville and the other tornado victims of Tennessee, many have nothing left. Give to the area Red Cross if you can. Good luck fishing....

    RE: Reelfoot Results 4-8-06

    We were there from the 2nd thru the 6th with fimilar results only our bad weather was Sun,Mon. Are you fishing jigs tipped with minnows?? We normally use minnows only. We tried some jigs tipped with wax worms but didn't get any action with them...
