I am a newbie so im sure this has been asked before but how far do you all drive to be able to fish???I have to drive about 40 miles.

Crappie fisher, I would probably say 90% of my fishing trips as well as hunting is within 40 mi. of home. A couple of times a year might take a trip a little farther. One of my favorite lakes is a 900 acre oxbow that is about 2 hrs away. We go over there two or three times a year for the weekend a try to load up on the big slabs. Just so much going on with the kids, its hard to get away for more than a few hours most of the time. But I'm lucky to have pretty good fishing right here close.

Mark Twain-- 110 mls. Truman-- 155mls. and the list gets goes on, mainly these I fish the most.

Normally 30-60 min but my favorite lake is 2½ hour drive.

Hey 3Girls, you must be fishing Midway? They do have some hog headed crappie there. I fish it regularly.

In early March I fish a lake that is fairly shallow but, it is a big lake. It is 93 miles from my house one way. Then in early to mid April, I make my way closer to the house, then my drive is 20 to 30 minutes.

I am very fortunate, I live right between two lakes, Cherokee and Douglas. 30 minutes to either one.
I always fish Douglas though simply because I know that lake. Guess I need to find a new best friend to show me the hotspots on Cherokee.
