Hello all,


I am going to be down fishing next weekend and have never been there. How are the fish biting and what kind of bait and where in the lake. I here there is some big fish. Any info I would really appreciate. Thank you

Water has been high and muddy most(if not all) of this spring...fishing all and all has been tuff..When I was there last we was catching them in the small coves off the main lake back where the brush is piled up...But the same week I caught them in 9 ft close to the bottom and also up on the bank.....so from my last trip it is anybodies guess!!!

Good luck...And let us know how you do...P.S. WHAT PART OF ILL. ARE YOU FROM

Good luck!!!!! You'll probably need it! Take everything you own....you might have to try everything to catch a fish!
