Attachment 458609great trip to Reelfoot with some friends over the weekend. Caught big bull bluegill all weekend, jigged trees and pads with grizzly’s and crickets. The lake was devoid of fisherman and most of the resorts had half to three quarter empty parking lots, twenty years ago this place was booming. Sad to see it in decline, I’ve been going for 25 years. On the flip side it’s nice to have a lake to yourself.

What a haul! Thanks for taking us along and for posting the great pictures

Nice mess. Those will eat well

Thanks for sharing. Have always wanted to fish there. Those look like quality gills. Was that a guided trip or on your own?

That’s what you call a mess of fish!

Awesome lake great pictures also. Thanks again for sharing

That was our own, but he’d you’ve never been I would consider hiring a guide for a day.

The cricket is the ticket. But if I dip lily pads I’ll use a grizzly jig tipped with a wax worm.

Great job. I will be down there this weekend. I hope the bluegill are still doing great they should be. Were you fish in the south end or the North end

I was fishing in Kirby’s pocket most of the time. Spent a half a day fishing beds in Swan Basin, south wind really picked up so I found calmer seas toward Allen’s opening down toward Buzzard Slough.
