Hello,
I just joined yesterday and posted in the newbie forum-thought I'd do the same here. While I'm not new to fishing, I don't have a lot of experience with crappie and thought I'd ask if anyone could offer some advice/tips for fishing within a 2 hour drive of Fairfield, IL. My wife has back issues, and if we drive any further than that she can't fish for very long. Because of the size of our boat (1670 Jon) I don't know about fishing on Rend. A lot of the state park lakes fall within our time restriction, but I don't know much about them...always been a mediocre bass and 'gill fisherman. Anyway, any tips would be appreciated.
