I agree that it needs to be very simple to enter data otherwise I wouldn’t use it. I think the biggest reason I haven’t built anything like this yet is because I have tried several different apps and...

I completely agree. All the apps I have used have been very much based on social media. I don’t like that either as it adds a lot of clutter that I don’t care about. I also have thought about the log...

I am a software developer for my day job and I love fishing. I have tried several fishing apps but haven’t found one that I just can’t live without. I have thought for a while now about building a...

Has anyone been to Dawson Lake by Leroy yet this year? Are the crappie biting?

Might want to check out larrysfishinghole.com. I read the report on there yesterday and it sounded like they were under the bridges and in the coves by timber. I haven't fished Clinton yet this year...

Nice catch! I think I need to fish Evergreen more often. :)

I have found that if you are not going to be able to use the minnows fairly quick then a fish tank filter system works well. Get one that will circulate plenty of water.

what a simple but great idea. I will definitely have to add one to my boat. This will be very handy.

Thanks! I am planning on giving it a try tomorrow but I haven't been there since early spring.

I am also from IL but I have been going to Norfork for vacation for 18 years. Crappie fishing can be tough at times but the size of the crappie make up for it. There are brush piles that you can find...

What are the reports from Clinton Lake for crappie right now? Anyone having any luck?

Does anyone ever fish at Dawson Lake? My dad took me when I was younger and I have went a couple times since that but it has been a couple years. Wondered what the crappie were like there?

Has anyone fished Lake Bloomington lately? I am going to give it a try tomorrow for the first time this year. A buddy of mine went last week and caught a couple but they were all dinks so he didn't...

Good to hear that the crappie are biting on Norfork! Last several years I have not had much luck with the crappie. My father and some of his buddies are going down in a couple weeks. Hope they get...

I also fished Clinton on Saturday. First time out this spring and I also didn't have much luck. It was pretty ugly though Saturday morning. The wind was really blowing.

I want to get out this Saturday for the first time this spring.

Where should I go? Where are the crappie biting the best?

I usually fish Lake Bloomington but I also have fished Clinton a...

Oreos.... The crappie always start biting as soon as I break out the Oreos! :)

I am from IL and I have been coming down to Norfork for the last 17 years at least once or twice a year. We have always enjoyed our trips down there but the fishing always seems to vary from year to...

I don't see many people on this forum discussing Norfork Lake. I am just curious how many people on here fish or have fished this lake? If you don't fish it anymore but did in the past, why did you...

This is an online fishing log that you can use. Looks pretty interesting. Maybe I will have to give this a try.

ILRiverRat, I agree with you completely. If you have a limit on the fish what does it really matter. I guess they just don't want you to limit out too fast. :)

What did you buy?

I have read a lot of articles about the benefits of keeping a log book and using it to find patterns and methods based on previous outings. I always think I am going to start creating one of these...

Does anyone know the reason why it seems that the majority of the lakes in IL are a 2 pole limit but in states like Alabama, Louisana, and other southern states they don't have limits? Just...

Nice Catch!

Some of my buddies want me to take them on a fishing trip this fall, but they are all farmers and want to wait until harvest is over. I was talking to them the other day and the first...

I can't believe the Lake Bloomington Police don't do something about this guy?! Maybe if we bring it to their attention they will keep a closer eye on him???

Did you try to talk to this guy at...

jnebgud,

I knew exactly who you were talking about when I saw the link on the main page!! My cousin told me about him last year and a couple times we fished it he was not there. I think that is...

Went out yesterday after work and had the same thing as you jnebgud. A lot of VERY SMALL crappies. Caught several 9-10 inchers but with just 3 at the end of the evening they went back in. The...

I would love to see some pics if you have any. I am suppose to be heading down the 2nd week of June so hopefully things settle down before then.
