Reelfoot Facts

Report for June 7, 2007

Well, HOT weather has settled in and this means a change in all types of fishing bites.

The Water temps have been in the upper 70's to lower 80's but this will continue to climb as the weather warms.

Reelfoot lake is around normal pool for this time of year and may be just a couple of inches above normal.

Water color is fair over most of the lake. Generally can see about 1 foot to 1 1/2 feet into the water.

Bass - The Bass bite has picked up....finally. It has been a real difficult year on Bass at Reelfoot Lake according to most including myself. Most right now are being caught around deep trees and lilly pads with Strike King Swimbaits and the new Rage Craws.

Bluegill - The Bluegill bite is in full swing and has been for about 3 weeks now. This will slow but usually you can catch several of the gills during the hot summer.

Crappie - Slow. The water has really warmed and the Crappie bite has cooled. This past late winter and Spring, the Crappie bite has been really good.

Catfish - Reelfoot has really had several of the past years being good ones. The Catfish bite on Reelfoot Lake is really good. The lake has been high all year and most of the Catfish are being caught off of Yo Yo's and Trotlines.
