[QUOTE="scn, post: 5467811, member: 1859"] I have been on Reelfoot a few times in the past. I saw enough to know that there is no way in Hades I would attempt to navigate on that lake on a first trip. It is shallow (even more so this year in the drought), and a strong wind can make it treacherous. And, with the thousands of stumps just under the water surface, a conventional outboard isn't the best choice. I think you will see most of the locals running some type of surface drive. If that is what you are talking about running, you might make it over if you aren't dealing with 4 foot waves. If you REALLY want to duck hunt on Reelfoot, you are MUCH better off in hiring a guide and letting them handle the navigating. It will be next to impossible to haul in enough decoys to compete with the HUGE spreads that are the norm down there in the permanent blinds. IMO, you have a better chance on a Reelfoot quota hunt of getting seriously hurt than you do of killing a bunch of ducks. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
