It is really a shame that our ramps are not any better than they are. You have to know how to handle them and I am sure that you guys not being from here were not aware of that. Anyways, Reelfoot...

MS,

With the lake at the level that it is currently...BIG PROBLEM!! Most of the coves and bays that you could get out of the wind are either too low or inacessible due to the water levels. Your...

The official measurement at Airpark was 3/4 of an inch...not much.

Rodger,

Give Richard Williams a call...tell him Cypress from Reelfoot Lake sent you.

Funny thing is I have the 754 War Eagle and wanting the one you are considering selling. I love my boat...it handles the rough water perfectly and planes off super fast. I just wanted the bigger...

Getting a good rain right now. Talked to a couple of guys today that fished at the 'Foot this past week. Caught 26 on day and 31 the next...had probably 18 fish that were NICE between the days. ...

Normally...and this has been an unormal year...normally we start getting some good rains by the middle of Sept. If we could just get a couple of 4-6" rains it would help. Mind you the lake level...

I think that this would level the playing field for some of the fishermen. I agree, the biggest problem is the ramps. They have got to do something about them...they are pitiful!! As for the...

Hey gang...fished the 'Foot both Saturday and Sunday. Kept 16 real good fish Sat and only 8 Sun. Most of the fish I found were in 12-15' water fishing about 8-12' deep with minnows. The bite was...

May sound strange...haven't fished to amount to anything in almost 4 wks. NO RAIN...Reelfoot low...fishing VERY SLOW!! Just had some decent rain the last few days. This should help elavate the...

Thanks guys. I am planning on taking off work this Friday and fishing those areas. KY do you spider rig or long line? I spider rig 99% of the time.

Talked to one of the guys that works at the plant here and he said that he caught some really nice crappie in the 4-5' water of Moultrie Field on Monday. I saw him fishing and wondered what he was...

OK...the water and the weather are getting right. Who has tried the night fishing yet? I am about ready to give it a whirl.

Just wondered if any of y'all had fished there lately? I fished in Britton Ford and Swamp a week ago Monday. Caught some really nice specks in 11-15' of water on minnows and Grizzly Rigs. Had a...

Fished the Green Island/Moultrie Field area both Sunday and Monday. Fishing was pretty much over by 9:30-10:00 each day. Seems the fish hit better right at day break...didn't you Cracker? I was...

I will be there trying to catch them speckled critters. Man I hope that they are more cooperative this weekend than last. May also try the gills a little bit.

AU,

Generally we like to start looking in the 3-5' range when the weather breaks and the water temps start to fall. If you get a big cold snap, the fish will usually head to the dying pad beds...

Gang,

One of my buddies is fishing this morning...spider-rigging in the Swan Basin area and Moltrie Field area. He has caught several dinks and only kept 4 as of 7:45. We think that most of the...

KF,

You can also catch some pretty good crappie in the pads in those areas as well. As WTC said, that place is known better for its gillies than crappie normally. I heard as well this week that...

Grumpy,

Just wondered what part of the Sandy you were fishing? I fished the Britton Ford area last Saturday and had a heck of a day with my dad...then again any day fishing with my dad is a great...

Thanks Bandit.

Good to know Bandit...I too would like to know how they were fishing. I have done really good on the north end this time of year. However, lately the bite has been rather slow up there.

Later,...

Don't know about the brilliant part...but thanks. Sometimes chasing these crazy fish makes me feel pretty plain stupid.

Just my .02...it is a little early to start night fishing. The experience that I have had is that they do not typically start good nite biting until the water gets to the 80 degree mark for several...

Slab,

Didn't take it that way. Not at all. Fishing is about friends and the experience...oh and poking fun at each other.

John,

Spider-rigging is my "preferred" method of loading the boat....

I would fish the Rat Island, Eagle Nest Timber, Moultrie Field, or Buck Basin areas if I wanted a chance at catching a limit. Most of the fish should be on the trees or in the pads though. I will...

Kingfish,

Yes, the gillies will bed in the pads on Reelfoot. You can simply wear their little buttocks out in the pads AND on the trees this time of year and later.

Not asking for fishing spots...I have plenty. Just a discussion of what each likes and uses. General info...not the exact stuff. It is interesting to see what each person prefers as to location...

Dogboy,

Good looking catch. I fished the 'Foot Tuesday and did really good in 5-7' water spider-rigging stumps. You said you jigged some "brush"...pm me where this was and I will tell you where...

I have been using the Matrix-17 for two years and love it!! I was surprised at how much it really shows.
