It was 50-52 degrees

Well, we didn't do great but it wasn't a total wash either. Caught a mess of catfish at rend on minnows fishing for crappie, but no crappie at rend on Wednesday. Then went to Lake of Egypt...

I go this coming week

My trip is coming up quick- planning to be on the water at Rend Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. May make a stop at Baldwin on Tuesday instead as I'll be coming thru that area on my way over...

Thanks, that's helpful!

There seems to be limited info on this lake online, I found an old DNR pamphlet online, and it says it's a 50hp limit. I know some IL lakes prohibit even having a boat w/ a larger motor on lakes w/...

The micro lite elite is a bass pro branded spinning reel, sorry I didn't specify. I agree with all the comments about the Pfluger president reels, thay are great as well.

The bass pro micro lite elites have done well for me and can get them for a really good price when they go on sale.

From what I've heard if you know where to go and how to fish it, you can have good crappie fishing all year. I'm gonna find out in a couple weeks!

Yeah $5 to launch at pyramid acres. Really nice, huge ramp. Lots of docks. Launched by myself there last year without any issues.

If yall aren't familiar w/ camofire.com check it out. Daily hunting gear deals with the occasional fishing gear thrown in. Today there are a handful of spinning and bait casting reels.

Ha thanks guys! I'm impatiently awaiting getting the boat outta storage. Just started snowing ��

Diving in head first on the specialized crappie gear- wife got me apple air pods for my birthday, told her I didn't want them but I was gonna use that $240 on new fishing gear! Took advantage of the...

That's kinda why I been leaning towards trolling motor w spot lock. I can find structure and generally find good fishing spots w my current electronics. Staying on those spots is another story tho

Thank you, your set up sounds like what I would be planning to do. Upgrade the current sonar and display and add livescope. I'm dreaming right now tho, I just want the boat to be out of storage and...

Thanks guys. Mean Green 2- sending you a message

So w/livescope, that's all you got? You don't get the standard maps and other features om the screen? I guess I just thought you buy the unit that has maps, regular bottom contours/depth finder,...

Sorry my first reply above didn't respond directly to your OP. Where are you able to find these for only $50? That's a steal, they're normally $100 or more

I went redfish and speckled trout fishing in LA and the guide had some sarge custom rods and a few bucoo. He used the bucoo bc clients were breaking his $250 rods. I really liked the bucoo and so...

I've got an older boat, a 94 Spectrum fish & ski. The trolling motor and both fish finders are going on about 10 years old at this point. Fish finders work great for showing depth and bottom...

Thanks! That'll help a lot!

Thanks, I was actually already looking at those guys, I'll see if they're available.

Well hot damn, that's some great info right there, thank you Ras!

Hey y'all, thanks for the warm welcome!

Good morning! Brand new to the site, found my way here as I'm researching a trip I'm planning to take in Late March to Rend Lake. I know it'll be a bit tougher than if I was a few weeks later, but...
