Reelfoot Lake Oct. 1-2, crappie?

Going to Reelfoot Lake Oct. 1-2, staying at Boyette's. Will the crappie be biting or should we be fishing for something else?

I have fished reelfoot years ago. fished it many years once a year with some success. Then one year I hired a guide after that my catch rate went up substantially. Its been a long time now since I have been to reelfoot but if I were to go again I would hire a guide for a day.

That time of year should be a good time, but if you are wanting to catch some fish then you need a guide.

Thanks guys. Do you know any guides? What I a reasonable rate for a guide? Thanks in advance.

Boyette's has their own guides. At least they use to.

That's the Arts and Craft Fair weekend, whole area between Tiptonville and Sanburg will be a zoo.

That's my luck, at least they won't be on the water.

I live next to Boyettes. That should be a pretty good time to fish. If your looking for a guide I would recommend Jason or his dad Sam Sandage if they're going to be back from Grenada by then. You can find them on FB. Hope this helps good luck.

Thanks Minner! Looks like their doing pretty good at grenada.

I would go with Sam Sandage if you can . He is a good guide and fun to be with. I had fun with him.

Boyettes restaurant has an awesome catfish menu. I would suggest that for sure. I've never fished the lake though. Always want to.
