I don't know about Kincaid, but I do know Carlyle is fine. As a general rule, most lakes managed by IDNR are 2 pole limit. Corps Lakes (Rend, Shelbyville, Carlyle) follow statewide regs as do the...

Actually you are incorrect, the two pole only rule in most state managed lakes trumps the three pole statewide limit, just as a site specific creel limit would trump the statewide limit for whatever...

I've had good luck with Sowell outboard right outside of Horseshoe Lake Park on 111.

They won't have a hang up with the registration, the (lack of) title is what is going to cause the headache.

It can be done, but its a hassle and takes a long time. Like said before, go ahead and apply with DNR and they will reject your application and ask for an explanation. They may even want your boss...

That's the truth. The wind can get pretty wild out there. It can make for some real interesting boat loading if it gets above 10 mph.

Its been a long time since I fished up there and I know run off hasn't been kind to Lake Mauvisterre, but a long time ago.....that lake wasn't bad for crappie. Kind of a diamond in the rough with...

I was out there on Friday. Caught some little ones.....deep. The bite was very light.

I don't have much trouble with that. Some paints are more finicky than others, it seems like the fleck paints have more problems with bubbling and volcanoes. At any rate, I put an aquarium valve...

Like cray, the paper bag (lunch sack type, not a grocery bag) works real well for me and the price is certainly right. I just cut out pieces to cover a piece of two inch PVC and sealed them right...

Little delay on my end, mine are in the mail today, you ought to have them by Friday.

Count me in

I'm probably going to swing by on Saturday......hopefully I'll run in to you.

If I fish from the bank I usually try the causeway towards the boat ramp, which is a right turn from the 111 entrance. I think the one to the left can be good as well. My guess is that it...

I haven't fished Rend much and not at all from the bank, so no help there, but; Horseshoe can be decent from the bank. They can do really well on both causeways during the prespawn and spawn. I've...

Actually if the lake or body of water does not have specific regulations otherwise, (usually a 2 pole and line limit) the statewide trolling regulation, which spider rigging falls under, is 3...

Doubt it...but they will sure attack quail and pheasants.

I once shot an oldsqaw, a sea duck now called a long-tailed duck, in chandlerville.

That one in Jacksonville was sighted less than a mile from where I have turkey hunted. I'll be a little bit more "aware of my surroundings" before light, if I hunt up there this spring. :yikes

There's crappie down there, I haven't been this year under the assumption that the water levels are low. The entrances to the oxbows can get pretty shallow even when the river is at normal stage.

I've done the livewell thing and the stringer /basket thing for awhile. I've recently been made a convert to ice. They are fresh either way, and they are certainly not alive on ice but they fillet...

Mine are in the mail today as well

Cut around the back of a catfish's head and pull the skin off the with a pair of skinning pliers, then fillet the meat off just like you did on the crappie. Looks like you're on the right track...

I don't know about Carlinville, but Staunton and Gillespie both have stickers too. I don't know what the cost for either of those stickers are. If you're looking for crappie on the miss you need to...

Just keep at it.....is probably the best advice. I think some others have eluded to it as well, but make sure to let that knife flex.....that's the point of them being so thin. It took me a while...

8" crappie at our lake? Did you find a honeyholeRofl

I use loop knots for jigs. Just tie in tandom down your main line. Minnows could be rigged this way too but I'd use some kind of leader system like a capps and coleman rig or Kentucky rig so the...

#4 is a pretty good all around choice

I sent mine last tuesday. Hopefully they've got there by now.......if not, shame on the post office. I could have walked them to batchtown faster than that. If you don't get them soon let me know.
