Wow, I completely forgot I had posted this question back in March. Thanks for the replies guys. We'll be there in a month!

My cousin is getting married in June and we're staying at a place on Lake Wedowee. I would like to take my boys fishing while we're down there for the week. Is this a good Crappie lake that time of...

Hey Giller, how have you been? We should try and get out again sometime. PM me if you want to try and ice some slabs.

Finally found a good amount of yellows in the Quad Cities.

Went out for a few hours today and only found 6. Hopefully they'll be popping in bunches soon.

I live in Moline, so I'm right here with you.

Among the other areas you mentioned, don't sleep on the LeClaire Canal. There are some really nice Crappie back in there.

Nothing yet in Rock Island County. Guys just West of us (Iowa City/Cedar Rapids) are finding pounds of them. Should be any day now.

Heath, that was still one of the most fun trips I've had there. I couldn't believe how clear the water was that day. We could see about every Crappie on every bed. We must have caught over 100...

I've seen them work fairly well for Perch, but I personally haven't had any success with them for Crappies.

Even though I've seen that video a few times, I still watch it whenever I see someone post it. I am filled with envy though.

Thanks all, it was fun to catch. I would love to catch her again next year!

Always wanted to land a Crappie 15" or bigger, and Friday it finally happened. We've been waiting a long time for the ice season to start here in IL, and on the first day of this much anticipated...

6" Lazer will work just fine.

I emailed the DNR in IL to make sure chumming was legal in IL, and here's the response I received.

Never get bored of looking at those pics. Jealous yes, bored no.

Got out yesterday in the Quad Cities, had a good 5" of ice on the lake we fished.

Have you checked out The Bait Pump? It can make your nibblers last a lot longer and allow you to get more fish for your money.

Cold..who cares??? Get in a hut & turn on the heater...fish on.

nm, thought you said a different lake, never hit Rathbun.

Happy B-Day CX.

Thanks a bunch!

Is there a limit to the number of ice fishing tip-ups you can use per person in IL? I tried searching the IL DNR website, but have come up empty.

Thanks!

I'll endorse them, CK makes great jigs and they are well worth it.

*sigh*

They said he works at a bank, but works in the back in a private room & people are warned they are not to talk to him about "the incident."

(There, now we never need to talk about "him" again)
...

You didn't have to go there...

We're in the playoffs!

I believe which ever team wins the Zambrano/Webb duel will advance to the next round. Should be one hell of a series.

What an impressive fish that is!
