I have fished Reelfoot several times in the past several years. I have always stayed at the Sportsmans Resort (North Location) Not a 5 star place, but it was nice, clean and the rates were very resonable. Next time I go back, I'll probably stay there again. Don't know if you are bringing your own boat, but they have them to rent out very reasonable. We normally catch most of our fish around the pads and in the creek channel on a minnow under a floater. Good luck. Hope this helps.
