Reelfoot Lake is about 2 hours from Cape... great crappie and blue gill lake. My next door neighbors just got back this afternoon from Reelfoot and caught their limit on crappie (30 each) yesterday (most 11+ inches), a few 14.5 (2 lb).. they fished from the shore but said the boaters were catching huge blue gills. If you are taking your own boat, be VERY CAREFUL of submerged stumps. We have witnessed several fiberglass boats going down. Also, if it is a windy day, it is a very hard lake to fish. The best way to catch blue gills this time of year is to go through cypress trees close to the bank and use a jig tipped with a wax worm right beside the tree.. Good luck!
