Thread: Reelfoot Wind

depends on the direction in my opinion. Plenty of places to fish, just depends on the direction...just careful if you have to travel to/back in that open water....done that many times...not fun.

Did a high winds cross in open water in one of those rental RF canoes back in the 70's. No it is not fun. Thanks for the input.

Friday looks like 10-15 from NE to start, then SSE 10-15....anything that high N to NE is brutal...SSE, you can get in at Kirby Pocket and hunker down in some trees in the back. Saturday SSW 15-20...that's getting up there...but again, SSW Kirby Pocket and hunker down....

Thanks Bails KP is exactly what I had in mind, if I go at all now.

Ill be back down...fishing may 4 and 5. Nice warm up coming might get them back on track. Last week was hit and miss...shallow.

Yep, u can also drive around to greys and put in at the mouth of the ditch, you can dip trees and pads in the ditch in a tsunami!

I was fishing the south side of GIP and around to the east side of it a couple of years ago. Was watching open water to the east of me for a sign to leave. I had to go to S. state park. Fished around and got to seeing something way, way up moultrie/lost pond? area. Turns out it was whitecaps coming down-I left out. Going was pretty good til I got out from GIP and the whitecaps caught me. Even following waves were making me nervous. Big ones. Surfed them to S state park and was looking at the gap (~7-8' wide) between the end of the concrete dock and the cypress tree. Closer I got the smaller it got. Rofl Waves hitting the dock were shooting about ten feet high, so no stopping. One shot to hit it. One skint place on my FIL's boat was all I got, lucky at that. I had called him and told him he might want to come to the dock so he can get a line on where to look for his boat later, so he seen it all. Actually had quite a crowd. RoflRofl

Wind? What wind? The wind never blows on Reelfoot.
