Thread: Lets talk about Lake Rousseau

Lake is noted for its large bass - large bluefill & shellcrackers (redears)
Spec (Crappie population) is not always talked that much about.........but they
should also be there in good quality numbers...
Same as Reelfoot - can't go crazy speed wise - go to watch whats going on
around you

nice specks and cats...I fish in the channel edge where it is about 10ft on 1 side of the boat and 27ft on the other side, minnows and jigs for specks and large saltwater shrimp for cats....get out of the channel and you will find a stump,even in 20 ft of water I saw stumps 3ft across 4 inchs underwater.....

This is a great lake have caught monster bass, bluegills, shell crackers and even specks. Stopped fishing this lake when I was there one day and was going through the markers around 18-19 and hit a stump inside of the marker. Then while trolling got stuck on a stump in 18 feet of water and put a whole in my boat. That was the last trip for me about two years ago.

Yep ! sounds like a Rowboat lake RR

Well the good new is its most likely not so crowded and the pressure should not be to heavy. Time to get my Kayak out once I get it down here.

I agree there are stumps in the channel. Though, it's a Great Lake. Just don't run an area till you have idled and dropped a track.
