One can never tell what the weather will be like in March in KY or TN. But odds are that Reelfoot Lake will be warmer than KY lake simply because it's much shallower and smaller. With that said the third week of March MAY and I emphise MAY have shallower crappie. Even if the water at Reelfoot is still cool the crappie should be in the drops and from what I have read about Reelfoot the lake is shallow in most of the lake. What deep spots there are should be easier to find espeically if you hire a guide the first day of your trip.
You can catch crappie on KY lake in March if you can get out on the drops even if the weather and the water is still on the cold side.
You can never really tell what March is going to be line and even April can be on the cool side at times.
