Yea folks say they want to help, but when you ask for tips they go quiet. It's kinda like deer hunters: they are all talkative until you ask where you they hunt at, then they go into stealth mode. I had a post about Perryville and only got one message from a guy, and I appreciated his info. When it comes to Reelfoot you are better off hiring a guide for the first time. Unless you fish that lake all the time, the average person will struggle on that lake.
