ABOUT
THE HOMRAS
Jamil and Kyle are a great example of outdoor traditions being passed down
through generations at Reelfoot Lake. My brother and I have grown up just
feet away from the water’s edge. That’s because we practically had no
choice as our family had been working as Reelfoot Lake guides for decades.
Also, the love for Reelfoot Lake and what it had to offer was always there
in our hearts from an early age.
WATERFOWL HUNTS
Waterfowl hunts are provided out of 5 separate duck blinds which include 2
open water blinds, 2 located on the north end (firing line area) near Long
Point Refuge and 1 blind in the Grassy Bend area. Wherever the
ducks are located, they've got a blind to cover it.
The
main blind, known as the Booker Stump Blind, was named after the man who
originally hunted this spot almost a century ago. Mr. Booker would bring
his clients to the stump and drop them off. Then he would paddle to the
shoreline, hide in the reeds and serve as tender for the hunt. Don't
worry, you won't be hunting a stump anymore. At 24 feet long with a heater
and a stove, the blind is a little more comfortable than the old stump.
But, it's still located in the same great spot that has produced for all
those years. This blind is known to harvest every different species
traveling the Mississippi Flyway.
Duck
Hunting Trips include 2 meals per day in a heated blind with all the other
amenities needed for your comfort and success. The blinds can accommodate
up to 8 people per hunt.
FISHING
TRIPS
Jamil and Kyle have come a long way since the photo on the
left was taken back in the 80's. But it just goes to show that fishing (and
hunting) are a tradition in this family.
As anyone
who has ever visited Reelfoot Lake knows, the crappie fishing is some of
the best available anywhere and undeniably the most popular with visitors
and locals. Bluegill is probably the second most popular species and
Reelfoot also ranks as one of the best places for Bluegill in Tennessee.
But, the largemouth bass fishing and the catfishing are often overlooked
and they also provide some great action here at Reelfoot. The Homras will
put you on any of these and if one's not biting, they'll find one that is.
Fishing
Trips include all tackle (except for largemouth bass).
EAGLE WATCHING TRIPS
During the winter, Eagle Watching trips are conducted in a pontoon boat
for the ultimate in comfort and safety. Reelfoot is famous world wide for
the wintering Bald Eagle population. You can ride the edge of the lake and
view eagles from afar, or you can get up close and personal on a guided
trip in a boat.
