Do you know if anybody's doing any good off the wall in the yacht basin.
Yes, they are catching some along the wall and docks
Question about Rend limits. I understand how the limit works but am more concerned if my wife and I need to keep our fish separate in case we are checked. Normally fish Crab where this is not a concern.
that's a good question. i have wondered the same thing. we use clickers to keep track of our individual overs and unders but never separate our fish.

Read above. Looks like the verdict flip-flopped so read all 3 pages. Bottom line=no separating crappie.
Also after 40 plus years of fishing all southern IL lakes I have been checked once at Baldwin and once at Carlyle when I wasn't in a boat. Both times were over 15 years ago. That is pretty sad.
