I am trying to plan a fall trip to Reelfoot for me, my brother, my five year old, and his four year old. We've never been on the lake. Is October the best time to do this? Also, I have an older fiberglass bass boat - old enough that I'm not worried if i scratch it. Will I be ok to use it on the lake, or should we plan to rent a aluminum boat there? Do most people just fish the stumps with slip bobbers and jigs? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
