Thread: Best Lake

The most the ville ,the biggest sangchris .I only fish central il lakes . Fished my first crappie tournament at carlyle last fall caught 100 crappie ,with largest 7 weighed 8# only time on carlyle. From what I hear rend is loaded with crappie.

I think ichabod is right. Central section of the state is the best. I have fished most of it but the four he mentioned are in the top percentile most of the time. The 'ville is in the cycle now at the top of its potential . Clinton should not be over looked either.

For me, I’d go with shelbyville for the numbers of crappie and mill creek for size. Mill creek also has a really good black crappie population. The only problem with mill creek , it’s $30.00 per day to launch a boat or $150.00 for a yearly pass. Keeps a lot of pressure off the lake though.

Any lake I'm not on! At least for five minutes before and after!!

Without question Shelbyville for numbers and Decatur for size.

Lake Decatur is great crappie producer that nobody rarely talks about. Mikes tackle world probably the best family owned tackle/bait shop you could ever hope to find in your lifetime can attest to what I am saying

For me the most in a day Mill Creek biggest Lake Sara
