Reelfoot Lake fishing report 4/27-4/29

Ok here is my report for the weekend. I will be out there in the AM for the next 3 days.

This morning: Wind was the biggest factor. They said 8mph, but it was blowing harder than that. I cant lie, I wore them out early. I fished maybe 2 hours. caught several, and quite a fewin the 1lb-1 1/2lb range. No hogs today. But I probably missed 10 or so big ones. Every time I would run up on a stump and catch one there would be more right there. Wind kept me from landing some good fish.

I trolled jigs, dark colored ones hit best, tipped with a minnow. In about 5-6ft of water. I cant give away my exact location as I will be there again tomorrow, but similar locations should produce well.

Ill be back tomorrow to let yall know how it goes..............

Let me know how you do up in the trees...around Simons pocket.

i will not be fishing there, but I would think you can catch some good crappie and gill out of those trees now

Wind not blowing as hard today, but still a factor on the lower blue basin. I never saw a saturday in april with so few boats on the lake.

My fish were small today. Fished the same area and the fish were half the size. I stayed till 9 am and left. I brought home only 7 fish, out of 25 or so. We had a big fish fry today. My highlight was a big catfish, (always catch catfish trolling for crappie this time of year).

Tomorrow should be a good day. Hope yall that are down for the weekend have a good one.

Any reports from the trees/pads?

Yea...everyone "thinks" the spawn is over. WRONG! The two females I caught today had eggs that were not ripe yet. They were still a dull color and the veins weren't defined at all. They are getting there, I bet this weekend will be good if the weather is right. All my males came from 2 ft. water fishing 1ft. deep in the bushes. 10 ft jigging pole and a good ole jig.

The CH...

Caught a lot of l very nice fish today, trolled 4 foot of water a lot of males nd they were blacked up. On another post I posted a pic of my sister she caught a 1' 10 oz. In fact it was the very last fish of the day.

Bails they should be on fire all this week.

Cracker I sent you a PM, im dyin to know the bizzz

BTW, I didnt do near as well as cracker, tried fishing the trees about midday in 2ft of water and caught several 2-3lb catfish, caught more cats that crappie on jigs, wow.

Cracker....will be down May 10th....who knows this year...but I won't be any worse than two weeks ago.....I hope.
