Hey Mac, they are both very good! It would depend on what my goals were and the time of year. Rend is a terrific lake for numbers of quality fish in the 3/4 - 1 1/2lb range with a 2lb plus kicker occasionally. I'm mainly going to guide on Rend in the Spring and Fall but I switch back and forth all year. I'll guide on Kinkaid and Lake of Egypt mainly in the Summer and Winter. Seems to be the best overall pattern in Southern Illinois! Kinkaid and Egypt will kick out more 1 - 1 3/4lb fish with the occasional 3lber!! They're all great fisheries year round but they will each peak at different times of the year!! We're truly blessed to have the fishing we do in Southern Illinois!
