I am from KY but looking through the TN board for info on Reelfoot lake myself. I booked a trip a few weeks ago at the Blue Bank Resort. Talked with a nice lady at the Cincinnati Sport and Travel Show. She called the home base on her cell phone right then and there. Sent my $200.00 deposit (myself and my brother) the following day. Going down Mid April. From what i have researched and read on multiple forums this is during the end of the spawn or maybe after it for crappie. Bluegill are getting cranked up at that time as are the Bass. I figured that having all three species to fish for would add quality to my first experience on that lake. I did pick up a fishing and boating map which will aide tremendously. The only real issue i have seen with the lake is the stumps and its very shallow water. (average 5.5 ft). All of the resorts i looked at provide lodging, boat, bait, ice, etc. each day. THe boats are jon boats with a small outboard. I am taking my own and saving $20.00 off the package price. I understand Reelfoot to be one of the best crappie lakes in the country, with huge numbers and great quality. I can't wait.
