Are you bringing your own boat or renting one? If renting one;those rental boats are bare,nothing on them but an outboard motor. I would bring some of those clamp on pole holders to clamp along the side of the boat.I would also order some double minner rigs from grizzly jig 3/4oz is what i use. I would also of course bring a trolling motor and battery with charger. And this is very contraversial on here but I would bring a CHAIN and some rope to drag off of the other side of the boat. I fish reelfoot alot and feel kinda sorry for the guys in those rental boats out there at the mercy of the wind and don't have the right equipment with them. Good luck
