Reelfoot Lake April crappie

Hello guys,

Just a couple boys from Ohio heading down to NW Tennessee the second week of April to try our luck at Reelfoot again. Came down last year and did ok (~20 fish/day) by slow trolling minnow-tipped jigs running in about 5-8 feet of water. Now, I don't expect anyone to give away any awesome secret holes of special techniques (although feel free!), just hoping someone could help us land a few more in the boat. Spent most of the time last year in the basin in front of Blue Bank, but did find a few fish in the mouths of a couple of the ditches. So with that said, would anyone like to offer any good spots to try out, or maybe some changes in our presentation (ie, depth, bait, etc) that they've had luck with? Thanks folks, and good fishin!!!!

obviously you havent heard the news. there is no fish in the lake anymore. when they where working on the levee it blew out and washed all the fish out. .... haha good luck to ya.

haha, youtube killed the lake, all the fish where caught out in the fall, and whats left is small!!!

April's lookin good, I'm sure you guys will have a good time, I'll be jiggin the tree's but you can catchem trollin too.

I've heard that there are no longer any fish in the trees or in the lilly pads....or the south bank...you might try the watershed lakes...............
