Thread: Spring trip to Reelfoot

Sharpshooter, I live here at the lake so I can you give some advice. The spring here is windy the kayak would be a poor choice. Bo's landing is the only
boat rental that I know of will rent you a boat and motor for $50 dollars a day, there number is 731-253-7809. [You MUST reserve one Very early]
Most all the motels TRY to rent there rooms with the fishing package in the spring busy season. [ more money for them ] If you book you trip early you can beat that trap.
Boyette's motel very old but clean, and the cheapest, and Mrs. Judy is a wonderfull lady. She will rent you what every want.
Reelfoot Lake Inn 731-253-6845 rents rooms without the fishing package.
Before I moved here I have stayed at them all, Blue Bank and Cypress Point
are nice and on the water, but more expensive.
I would stay at Reelfoot Lake Inn or Boyette's. Boyette's has a kitchenett and all the cook ware. If you stay at Boyette's it' just a short walk to Boyette's Dining Room, and as you know some superdupper food.
Bo's Landing has the best minnows, they sell them by the pound. Fill your vehicles up before you get to the lake here, gas is very high around the lake.
I hope this helps you some, If I can help any farther let me know.

I second the notion on leaving the kayak at home. One thing is for sure the wind is gonna blow!

ahh you guys don't lie, the wind only blows 98% of the time. The other 2% is the lull between it completely changing directions.

out of the 4 trips i have been reel foot the wind blew hard no way would i have wanted to be out in a kayak it about swampe the 14ft jon boats were were in at time we stayed at cypress point

They dont care if you bring your own boat. They dont knock off much off the price anyway. Unless you have a good boat you feel more comfortable in I would just use the rentals. Definately dont want to be out there in a kayak as everyone said the wind is tough most days. Good side is that if you tip over chances are you can stand up and not be all the way under:D

if you take your kayak i would stay on the north end of the lake. lots of trees and ditches to hide in. you might ask around and see what people say about grays camp. personily i like it. jon and cindy are good people, they will take good care of you. lots of good cover on the north end. we go every year the last week of april, it is good!!!............................ you have a pm.

Thanks for the reply's, may have to rethink taking the kayaks:D

Shoot man....just take em....it's a kayak!...if you get down there, and its too windy....rent a boat. I have been going a long time, and there are days when I was "praying" for just a ripple on the water! The wind is going to blow, it's just a mattter of when...and...if you have your Kayak's with ya....and it's not...well...there ya go.
