Any input on decent fishing lakes around would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I only live a few miles from you. Before I try to suggest any lakes I'd like to ask how far you're willing to drive to fish so I don't suggest anything too far away. There's not a lot of good lakes that I'm aware of super close. I usually drive a bit for good crappie fishing.

Man......talk about two different extremes. Arkansas to Illinois. Get ready to loose your anus in taxes. Welcom though!

Coats,

Run a quick as you can These guys are telling you straight up !!!!!

I can't believe people are making fun of the great state of Chicago.

I lived here until I was 18. I'm used to the sea of corn and the crookedness. For good crappie fishing I'll drive as far as I need to. I know there isn't much around the Peoria area but any input is better than stumbling around trying to figure it out on my own.

Coats, sent you a PM.

This is a good topic.

I live in Peoria too.

I am heading to Banner Marsh today with the boy to try it out. I have never been there, and we are bank fishing, so if anyone has any pointers - much appreciated!
