Rend, Carlyle, Egypt, Shelbyville in that order seem to get my attention. I’m not as familiar with the lakes, but I’m sure Crab/Cedar/Kincaid would all make the top of this list also.

You can also catch limits shallow right now on Jigs/Minnows, if your not into spider rigging. Not discounting what bogdipper said, just meaning there are still plenty of fish shallow in the right...

I'd second Barkley, just be careful running around at winter pool. That being said I took 3 vacation days to fish down there two weeks ago, after one day packed up and drove back up to Rend and...

Thanks Brian, we had a blast!

Thanks for a decent report. Off work next week to come down, after the last reports I was considering hooking the boat up, having my wife kick me in the nuts and just spending the rest the week on...

Back to the whitebass.......been throwing my mister twister super spinner along the wind blow rocks and they been hitting good! [emoji12]

I like single pole fishing as much as anyone. But your obviously an uneducated crappie fisherman if you think spider rigging is just randomly dragging minnows in circles. Spider rigging is a tool...

Yep, "Just Add Water" is just down the road from he ramp. you might verify their hours, I believe they are closed or open later on Mondays, I've been burned on that before.

Also Cookseys in...

Haha someone's always got to have a comment like this......Congrats Mitch on the fish of a lifetime and "around" 25 keepers.

Respect the lake and you should be fine. I've made a few weekend trips to the foot, none of which my boat ever got on plane. Idle everywhere, don't go out in 3' rollers and how much damage can you...

Nice specks!

Can't say i've ever been asked to show a bilge pump in a safety inspection. Regardless, it seem like a good thing to have!

I've had both, and choose bird my opinion:

Bird has better sidescan in shallow water, lowrance seems to black out if you try and side scan very far in shallow water. While that being said if your...

I was wondering about this the other day. Thanks for getting it together.

Can't beat 3 dozen for a dollar! Thanks guys.

Do you guys have any good advice for a decent minnow count in the Paris area? Couldn't find a single place last year that didn't count them like they were giving away their pet fish! Ended up going...

Probably not what you want to hear, but you probably better off to forgo the trolling and single pole. Just my 2 cents....

Not trying to be a smart *** But are you sure that your on the brush pile? looks like bait to me....

Nope

Just like any smaller lake, actually a little pressure might be good for it, always seemed overpopulated to me. But I'm far from a fisheries biologist.

Just a dink hole with an overpriced sticker. Nothing to see here folks, back to pulling cranks Shelbyville......:)

Toad you keep confusing me, I spent my whole life thinkin' crankbaits was for bass and spinners were for walleye!!! Id be curious to hear what the keeper-dink ratio is doing this. I get tired of...

9 keeper walleye, I wouldn't change a thing!

I'd say coalshaft is a no go for sure. Should be close to using normal ramps, maybe someone can chime in on that.

Shoot Wilbur he's tighter than spandex on a 350 pound woman! Last time I seen him open his wallet a moth flew outa there!

Ya'll are crazy, crankbaits are for bass!!! I refuse to try it for fear one good trip will cost me a few hundred dollars in new gear. Have fun guys

Lake is about 11.5 ft high, drawing down pretty hard. If you can find the big flats/gravel points the walleye/sauger bite is good. PLENTY of whitebass with them to keep the kids entertained.

Sounds like you've got it figured out. For future, I've got a Lowe stinger 160 with a 25hp 4 stroke merc and get about 23 by myself, 20 with 2 guys. Fill the livewell and gas tank with two guys and...

Sorry, that one has to go on my new boat, should have taken it off before I snapped some pictures.

I posted my boat for sale in the classifieds if anyone local is interested. Good little boat for catching winter time specks on the 25 hp restricted power plant lakes. Located in Effingham.
