I've never fished in the winter or cold weather anywhere much less MTL but according to the article I would try the bridge pilings and the bluffs. During the other seasons I usually put in at South Fork since my place is just out of Paris. I think the bluffs just up from the state park single boat ramp would be a place to try or either of the bluffs on the opposite banks depending the way the wind blows. I'd like to know how anyone does.
I would like to try and take a run down to Reelfoot. I like that lake even though I have not slayed them there.
Let us know how you do and if I get brave I'll report.
