    I love chasing small mouth but there really isn't much better than getting on a good panfish bite! Bluegill, shellcracker, crappie, rock bass, whatever.

    Shabbona has crappie and bluegill. (And everything else) Lake can get busy but it's a 9.9 lake so it shouldn't get too bad in a kayak. It's a bit over an hour from Naperville.
