[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5524305, member: 1409"] Reelfoot can be a very tough lake for those not familiar with it, and the conditions change daily, maybe more on Reelfoot than most lakes. One Reelfoot fishery that seems a bit overlooked is catfish. This lake is chock full of catfish. If you've never been fishing there before, probably worth the investment to hire a reputable guide. But if your wife (or girlfriend or daughter) is an avid fishermen, and the main trip purpose is actually fishing, Reelfoot could be an excellent choice. It just can be "tough" fishing in a lot of very different ways compared to most TN lakes. It's much like going out on the Everglades, and non-outdoors-types can be freaked out with fears of unknowns. Looks like there should be a big cottonmouth or alligator at every turn, and it can seem your boat is about to capsize from hitting a stumps [I]FREQUENTLY[/I]. Just generally speaking, for those unfamiliar with the lake, the best bet for catching fish is typically going to be bluegills, although catfish might be right in there as well. [/QUOTE]
