i have to say reel foot is a great place to fish i head down in the spring for the crappie. man they have some huge slabs down there. but if a cold front comes in it takes a good minute to catch fish but if you are going for bass you will have a blast. i have also taken chicken livers and pitched them at the base of trees and tore up the cat fish. i watch a video on the web about a guy who pitched for cats. it was fun. it seems all the fish are healthy and good weight to them. and like others have said i would not take a glass boat down there. i take my tracker with me but never use the big motor. tons and tons of stumps. http://www.reelfoot.com/reelfoot_fis...port_62907.htm here is a link to some good fishing reports. i alway start checking it out befor i head down there. have fun
