    Default 2nd time trying reelfoot lake


    I was hoping someone could help me out with some info, I'm used to fishing ky lake around Paris landing area I live in the area. I went to reelfoot last year in mid April just to go somewhere different and I noticed that the crappie fishing is different there's so much standing timber that its tough to locate fish for me, I'm used to finding a brush or stakebed and fishing it anyway I want to try reelfoot again in the next couple weeks maybe next week as ky lake rn is at summer pool and about as muddy as can be in the bays, and I like to try new places, Ive read here and other places about there being lanes cut into reelfoot I think they said the duck hunters cut channels through the timber?? is there a map anywhere of these lanes? I have Garmin's but obviously my charts don't show those lanes and only show contour lines, last time I was there thank God I didn't take my FG boat and lucky I was running at about idle the whole time because I hit about 8 or more trees, any help would be appreciated

    There are white poles sticking up, which are boat lanes. Stay in the boating lanes when running your big motor.

    There is one on Wagon Wheel rd that had the boat lanes marked pretty good. The one at Kirby Pocket is marked. And I believe it’s called Sunset boat ramp is marked pretty good.

    thanks man I see the boat ramp at wagon wheel that's kinda close to where I want to put in im planning on fishing the lower basin anyway I believe blue basin I never been to the other parts of the lake. I'm trying to go before the spawn and it gets busy. I'm hoping to find fish on the timber, do you know is there any man made stuff sunk out there like stakebeds? or is it just so much structure already, I think it kinda makes it tough when you have to much structure kinda like having none

    There aren’t much man made stuff in it as far as I know. That lake is so full of natural stumps that there’s not much use for stakes.
