    Default Advice on Rend


    Hi guys,hope all is well and the fish are bitin! The last 3 or 4 times out on Rend, I have really struggled. The lake has been so good to me the past 2 or 3 years but this year I have had very little luck. The wind has been to much for my little boat to fish under the bridges and my other spots haven't really produced this year. I'm disappointed because I talk to quite a few people who say they are catching limits out there and I haven't been close. Is there one spot that is really hot right now? Also, any suggestions for fishing a small, light boat in deep water? Thanks guys!

    Check with Nick at "Crappie Predator Guide Service" @ (618) 472-4763 or
    Greg at "Crappie Xtreme" (618) 923-1582. To the best of my knowledge,
    fish have been caught, but out in the middle of the lake on brush piles.
    Hopefully the water temp has come down, so that the fish might move
    in closer to shore. Good Luck & Tight Lines - Dave

    Fish are being caught shallow and deep, it just depends on where you want to fish. As far as fishing deep water in a small boat, well I would not suggest it on Rend if the boat is really small. The wind on Rend can get really bad at times and it don't take much wind. If you do decide to fish deep in a small boat don't venture too far from the ramp. That would be my suggestion.
