hey names mike and I live in northern Illinois. im planning on taking my 3 girls (7,6,4) on a camping/fishing trip somewhere in the Midwest region. id drive up to 8 hours one way. I would like your opinions as to where you guys would go if you had 7 days to go fishing? what would be the best time between june and end of august to go? love crappie/cat fishing and girls just love having tight lines. thanks for any input. have thought about Kentucky lake, reelfoot, rend, crab orchard, Shelbyville. looking to tent camp unless someone knows a reasonable cabin rental with dock.
