I enjoy fishing the foot in the fall. last time I was there in the fall the water was at the lowest it had been. The fishing was great . The weather was a little cool that year. we fished single pole and double jigs on the stumps . done really good. Im planning on going back down in October this year. looking forward to it. I always take my own boat and I stay at the old Blue bank motel . Believe it is called Reelfoot outdoors now. the rooms were nice and the staff was great. They also have a sporting goods store that is nice
