I am looking to go out and then get home for dinner that night so I don't agrivate the wife too much.

Thinking about MTL, Wappapello or Rend Lake over in IL. Unless there is something considerably closer.

I have tried Bush lakes and they are too crowded and I want to take my boat out also and I can't use it there.

Anyone fish Simpson lake in Valley Park? I hear Bee Tree is hot but again no boats unless you can carry them in.
