    Default Clinton or Decatur?


    Clinton lake is not a bad drive from Naperville and I have fished it a few times. I have never fished Decatur, but have read some good things about it. Is there anyone here who has fished both regularly? What do you think are strengths and weaknesses as far as Crappie fishing? Thanks all.

    Always love Decatur Clinton too busy with speed boats
    And with that, I'll see you on the water...

    Clinton has better #'s but Decatur has better size. Decatur gets real muddy after a rain.

    No argument. I prefer 12at11” over 20at9” anytime. More fun to catch also

    Have you tried Shabbonah? Great Lake closer to Naperville I am guessing
    And with that, I'll see you on the water...
