Reelfoot was a bust, fished lower basin and Kirby's pocket. Didn't catch a single fish. It sure was slick.
Talked to quit a few people, no one had over 10, and most were sayin a shad kill made them quit biting? We did see quite a few shad dying too. Idk if that's why though. Sorry for not really helping.

Fished local lake couple three hours this morning. I tried everything from casting jigs to dead stick float and fly. Nothing. It was really slow. Marked so fish on structure but couldn't make em bite.
I fished Bear Creek Pickwick area. I caught 12. They were had to come by
Thanks for the reports.
Wish some of that no wind was down this way...it made for some hard vertical jigging today but pulled in a few. Fish were hugging bottom in the channels.

I kept 10 very nice black crappie Friday evening at the end of the day and went back at first light Saturday morning with high hopes and only managed 3 and fished until noon. I put in at Kirby. I tried the lower end Thursday evening for a few hours and didn't catch a fish down there.
WOW I wonder what's up with reelfoot,this is not normal. Maybe it is a shad kill. I guess I will have to fish big sandy more. They seem to be biting a little better there.
Caught these fatties at Reelfoot yesterday from 8-1:30. Double minnow rigs in 5 fow and caught most of them on the top hook (3-3.5 ft deep). The biggest was 1.78 and the biggest 7 weighed 10.8. And the water was like glass.

I fished the foot sat. afternoon from 11:30 til 4:30 and ended with eight good fish. Lower blue in 7 to 8 foot of water a foot off the bottom with double minnow rigs. Had a buddy that fished that morning and only caught one fish, he was told by a pretty good source that we were on the wrong side of the lake:dono Report he got was that they were on kirby pocket side in four foot of water. I actually started in 4.5 and worked my way out to 7.5 before i got my first bite. Heard a couple guys close by say they hadn't caught a fish. To me it looked like they were moving too fast. I'm no expert but for me it was the slower the betterand at times almost dead still. Shouldn't be to much longer...
looks like you have that thing tuned inQuote:
