Just wish we had heat with this rain! I'll be out tomorrow anyway

Always fun finding sheds!
I've seen a few from some surrounding counties but not many. Micro-climates play a huge role in where they fruit first.

If someone found them around Bloomington I'd like to see some proof. It's been too cold here. Haven't found a single morel from Western McLean thru Eastern Vermillion counties and many places...

Good luck! I posted one like this and got lots of views but no help. Guess they don't like us coming in to fish their area.....

I will be travelling to Lake Kegonsa next weekend and would like some info on the lake if anyone has it. I've never been and am being taken there for my birthday. Been told it's a good walleye lake...

I've caught several lately and seen several caught over the last couple of years. I don't know what the numbers are but it's not uncommon to see a a 5+lb hybrid caught while crappie fishing. This is...

After chasing crappies around and hooking up with some line ripping fish I brought out some beefed up tackle and hooked up with several fish 5-10lbs and then landed this 29 3/4 inch 14lb 3oz Hybrid....

There's only a couple docks to shoot..... I went out Monday night to see if the night bite was any better. I called it early. This fluctuation in temps and the pressure changes from the storm systems...

Muddy is exactly the word for it! The ramp is covered with trash too. Well the whole lake around the edges basically. Very slow bite but there are still fish to be caught if you're patient. In a...

I have a buddy going Saturday and I'm waiting to see what he does before I head there on Sunday. Might just run bank poles on the creek instead....

I just did this to my boat as well and my 10" mini bass boat. These strips put out some serious light! I bought the "5050" IP8 lights. Make sure they are rated a minumum IP7 for immersion in water....

You know Jimmy T, I didn't even think about that when I was out there but thanks for putting things into perspective.

I got stir crazy and decided to go anyway on Sunday. Nothing like trying to fish in chocolate milk with trash everywhere..... Not a single fish but saw lots of water pigs (carp). Man they love this...

Went Sat & Sun and limited out both days. Caught lots of fish shallow around brush, weed lines, and dead trees. I only kept 12"+. Out of the fish I cleaned only 1 had eggs and only 1 had a sperm sac.

I went Tuesday afternoon for a few hours and only brought home 10 good sized fish. I caught several smaller males and way too many yellow bass. I'll be back out tomorrow and Sunday.

It wasn't bad compared to a weekend. The closest boat to me was about 200 yards away

Another great afternoon on the E! Fishing same 2-4 FOW with minnows and got another limit. Water temps are coming up and were 64* in the shallows.

No problem! All caught on minnows

I would post pics but not sure how from my iphone....

I only kept fish over 10" and had several 12 & 13" fish. Out of 15 all but 4 were female.

Evergreen yesterday- water is clearing up and I had another great day on the lake. Caught my limit after being on the water about 2 hours. Fish are shallow 2-4 FOW. Love this time of year!

Thanks for that info! I just had to do a little reading on cold water algae (got my education for the day lol). From what I saw the cold water algae (diatoms) are considered a good thing unlike the...

I'm not going to try and argue or discredit you but Algae blooms do not occur until water temps reach 25* C (77*F). The current temps at Evergreen are still a good 15*F colder on Tuesday at 60-62*F.

Went to Evergreen yesterday and limited out. Only kept 10" or better with one at 14". Only 2 males the rest were plump with eggs. I was fishing 2-4 FOW and it was great action! Water temp ranged...

Just checking to see if anyone does this? I've always been told that where crappie are catfish will be too. I've never thought to drop a rod with some cut bait or anything below the crappie to see if...

No problem! Maybe I'll run into you out there. I'm in an old tan Lund tri-hull. If you see her give a holler

I was on Evergreen last Sunday and the temps were 50-51. Water is very stained and there's lot of it. I was able to catch a few in 12-15' but it wasn't a great bite. I'm hoping a week for the water...

Maybe some "birdfeet" can bring you some channel cats. I would also say to throw in some flattys while your at it. They will eat more live fish than channels will and will help clean up that hole.

I have and it's been fair to good for crappie, saugeye are hitting fairly good on the same baits and same areas in the mornings & evenings too

Any members fish here regularly?

I was catching good numbers of crappie up till the storms last weekend but only saugeyes & bass since.
