At cypress point right now. Fishing is not good. Caught 2 crappie 2 drum and a stripe all day. Talked to several that didn't catch as much as we did.
What about bream?
Been to busy to go myself but my cousin went today from around 11 to 5 and only jigged up ten, he talked to several others that only had a few to none:( All this rain and cooler temps have them messed up. But on a good note it can only get better...
reel foot can kiss my big fat butt...... not been good for a couple years and even the guides fish other lakes..... I fished for 15 yrs....at the foot and I won't be back to fish will fish ky lake or my bath tube.
Good more for me...
It is a little tough right now. I fish it when it's good and I'll fish it while it's bad.
even when it bad I've caught fish but now enough to spend another week there nwtnncrappie man lol even van cleve will tell ya the same.... and he's on lake amost every day alone with nelson and rest of goood ole boys
the carp have ruined it and everybody knows it
Silver carp are one thing that no wildlife agency wants to talk about because there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.
I think it is very possible that they are having an impact upon the Reelfoot fishery.

I don't blame the carp. They haven't ruined the chutes off the Mississippi and there's more carp in them than in Reelfoot.
Well I have had two bad years on Reelfoot but I love that lake. I saw this today at Discovery Park and it is in my blood for sure.

I can say for sure, the bite will be off Next Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and part of Monday. As I can shut the bite down at Capt D's....
But will say it will be fun if we don't catch a fish. But I for one will limit out each day.:cheers2 One is my limit. And buddy of mine told me where all the fish will be.

P.S. never had a bad day on Reelfoot fishing yet. Now catching is different. But love that lake and catching is just icing on the cake.
Well everyone.
I will be at the fish camp and on the lake over next weekend.
Hope to meet some of you.
Caught a handful of nice gills in the pads and that will only get better so come prepared!
The carp have nothing to do with the fishing in the lake. Do yall not think think that the carp in Kentucky lake are bad? Hey what about lake Washington down in Mississippi? I have idled more this year then ever just trying to see if I can spook some and I have yet to spook the first carp. I have a lot of bow fishing friends that are on the water every night during the weekend and even they are saying they are seeing little to no carp besides when they get closer to the spillway. The carp have nothing to do with it. It's just the two bad spawns and us plucking limit after limit off the stumps a few years ago
I ain't been to the foot in LIX years. That be Roman time.
Did they even have poles back then tom? Or roads to get there. :biggrin Man 59 years that was back in the Stone age.:popcornQuote:
