Horshoe is a good lake when u can find them. The duck blinds always hold fish. The far west end has some warm water flowing in from the steel plant. That end is a little deeper with some brush on the banks. The state has cut way back on upkeep. I and lock your doors I've had some stuff taken. Also old and new Gillespie have a boat load of crappie. But of the 80 u catch and you will catch a bunch most are 8 inches. If your meat fishin it works because they have no limit. Vandalia is about the same distance as Carlyle. They have some nice fish and your boat can handle Gillespie and Vandalia with a 6 hp

The fish you release may be a kids fish of a lifetime!
