I fished Rend for 3 hours Sun morning and ended up with 12 crappie, a redear, a bass and a couple cats all caught in the brush. Didn't fish any brush in the bays, only that close to the main open...

He must only fish the very north end (each side of the fork).... It would probably be pretty tough there but there are plenty of other areas that trolling can work...

Super slow in the bushes yesterday morning. Gave it about 3 hours hitting some of my favorite spots. water temp was 62 where I was. Water is up but just how I like it when they finally move in. Need...

Depends on what you are targeting... Sailboat harbor wall, the banks off the bridges, Ina ramp area are a few. Caught crappie of the harbor wall although never caught any really big ones. White bass...

Rend can be verry "bush" specific at this time of the year. Not every bush will have fish on them. I caught all my overs out of one bush 2 years ago in about an hour. Fished that bank 100 yards in...

My problem is that just because its a law doesn't necessarily make it a good law. Fish need structure. I understand that placing structure in certain areas could be problematic but I believe most...

Nope

Won't need the depth finder then. They'll be in the bushes

If your only going for a few days the day use is the way to go. I think its $2 and they have a self serve station at the VC so you can go anytime

Zet
I may have the book for a 565 and possibly a TM mount transducer. Let me take a look and see what I got out there.

Back a few years ago I found a tree (leaved out maple) one afternoon that was just sticking above the surface in 12 fow. Caught about 10 keepers before moving down to another tree ~100 yards away....

Amen on the snakes. Don't bother me either unless they swim up behind me:eek: At least I haven't seen a cottonmouth there...............yet.. Might change my tactic some if I encounter one of them....

Crab or Forbes maybe??? The woods around forbes looks like it should hold some 'shrooms....

Had that problem too until I started taking a cooler wit me. Only keep a couple dz at a time in the bucket. Seems when you order 3 dz and they give you 5 thats too many in one bucket:D

I've kept...

eggsactly what I was thinking;) Or move it around to another area and tie off to the bank. Some place that it can't easily be seen. Makes for an interesting conversation with the police when they...

I get mine at the Shell station on the Jct of 37 and 154. Seems they give you a good 'count' :p

I'm assuming MS but you know what they say about assume....

I've been known to fish there a little;) One thing you might want to consider in may when they go to the banks is wading. I've been known to dich the baot for some waders or just a swimsuit if its...

I run the 15lb/4 dia on all mine. Seems just about perfect balance but yet can straighten a wire hook when hung. The increase sensitivity helps when going to deeper water too.

I know some guys that like to "peg" their but i always use a stop. Figured if I was gonna peg it might as well just use the spring type.

I see that hasn't changed..........

On the wife and having to pee thing. Found out years ago to keep a small bucket and a rain poncho in the boat. Saves a run to the bank when your on fish. Of course you get some funny looks when the...

About 4 years ago I launched there and they had put in a concrete ramp. Worked well even at low pool. Haven't been back since though so don't know the condition.

Crappie 4lb 13 oz IL farm pond 1973
Bass 8 lb 15 oz farm pond (different) IL.

The crappie is one of only about a dz that I have ever caught there. Caught it on a zebco 202 reel. Wasn't supposed...

Just an FYI when buying a used boat double check the manufacturer to see if they even produced the boat they are selling. Had a guy once try and sell me an 1674. The 74 was the actual beam across the...

:D:D:D we might could work something out;)

If your wanting to stay in the 16 ft class look at the seaark 1660. 16 foot with a 60" bottom. Built like a tank. If length isn't an issue then a 1860 or 1872 or 2072. The war eagles do ride nice in...

Nice catch!!!

Wonder where that pic was taken:D

No woods, no bucks.......
