Just back in from Reelfoot tonight.Been fighting the wind all week.Blew from the Northeast yesterday and the the Northwest today.Lake was calming down abouth 4PM this afternoon when i left.Fish bit good when i got to fish,but there were times when you just could not stay out there.Had South winds earlier in the week and the bite was good for both bluegill and crappie.I had 26 crappie and 40 bluegill wednesday.I started out jigging with a grizzly jig in Cunningham color tipped with a waxworm.After catching several monster gills along with a couple of good crappies i switched to a chartruse grizzly tipped with the waxworms.I started smoking the crappie then.I went out early the next morning and caught 16 more crappie before the wind got to high to stay.The east and north wind turned them off in the trees.The weather will be cold tonight in west Tn.Low in the high 40's,mid 70's tomorrow with some wind.I left a day early because i was tired from trying to hold the boat in the wind.The fish are holding tight to the trees.Put your jig up tight next to the trees and you will find the fish.Most of the time only one fish or maybe two per tree.Just keep moving to the next tree.All mine were caught fishing 3.5 ft.deep in 4 to 4.5ft of water.I'm talking about crappie,the bluegill are even shallower.I lost tuesday with motor trouble (power pack died).Monday and today were rough weather days with very few caught.If you want bluegill fish a black jig with a white head tipped with a waxworm.The crappie like the chartruse better.The crappie were mostly good sized fish and still had eggs inside.I culled a few small fish less than 9 inches.All in all considering the weather i had a decent trip.I figure 2.5 days of good weather out of 5.The bluegill were some of the largest i've seen in a long time.The North end of the lake is a perfect spot for the fish right now.The more trees the better the fishing.
