Bluegill fishing at Reelfoot LakePosted: June 14th, 2017 by Bill Dance Bluegill fishing at Reelfoot Lake is considered one of the best in the State with the average size near 0.45 pounds and anglers harvesting between 1.5 and 2.0 fish/hour; the catch rates by anglers are around 2.0 fish/hour, so action is pretty steady. Larger bluegill in the half pound to three quarter pound range are seen but not common. Bank fishing is limited at Reelfoot Lake although there are several piers on the south shoreline that provide bank fishing opportunity. Reelfoot Lake has four distinct basins connected by channelized ditches and all four are considered good bluegill areas with the lower two basins receiving the most pressure. Anglers utilize the dependable cricket, but also use the little grizzly (1/32 or 1/64) and my personal favorite, a Bass Pro Shops 1/16 oz. Marabou jig with a wax worm and slip float.
