Who's ready for spring??!!

I know I am! This has definitely been one of the worst winters in years!! Like I said before, the fishing on Egypt is pretty good now using electronics to follow schooling blacks which are on the move looking for pre spawn/spawn areas. But other than that, the other Southern Illinois lakes aren't fishable!! Depressing...lol! Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on spring dates. Those who are interested in spring trips, they are filling up fast!! These are the dates I have open for spring:

April: 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 15th, & 16th

May: 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, & 31st


I'm also booking now for summer fishing (my personal favorite!)

I can't wait for some more spring fishing like this......

Anyone interested in spring dates, give me a shout!! 618-314-2967

Bring it on Brother. Sick of this weather too.

Kyle, maybe you should start guiding ice fishing, plenty of dates open this year.LOL

Spring and the warmer weather CAN'T COME TOO QUICKLY for me. Well, at least I can dream about it watching Krappie Kings on TV. Kyle, enjoyed the show of you fishing the brush at Rend. Let's do one on Lake Kinkaid in the future. Thanks!

Was looking for a Saturday but you look full!

Hey buddy, glad you enjoyed the show! We are talking about filming on Kinkaid or Egypt this year or next for a summer show and we've just about got a spring and fall show locked in for this year on Rend!

Buddy, if you are looking for April/May I've got 2 Saturdays left: April 13th & May 25th? Also, have several weekend dates open in the summer. Like I said, summer is some of my favorite fishing!! Good numbers of quality fish!

I am sure ready for spring!!

Dan

This guy sure is ready. After the 50 degree day today I was getting very itchy. Ready for crappie and gobblers

Hey Kyle, tried to send you a PM but your mail box is full. I got a question for you.

I am so sick of winter I could move to Florida. The warden won't go for it. lol

Hey buddy, just give me a call! 618-314-2967 Beautiful day today wasn't it!!

Kyle. Which do you think is the best crappie lake. Kincade or Rend?

Mac from Missouri

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!

I'm ready is it here yet is it here yet. Ugh!!!

Im not ready for spring yet. I still have a few winter tasks to finish up. If you would all pray for more snow I'd appreciate it.

Im ready for this weather to go away but not for the crowds. Just sayin.

There is always a down side to everything! That's why I kind of enjoy fishing the hot weather and dread the fall. Everybody shows up when the fall bite is on.

I agree Dan. The summer hot bite is awesome.

I enjoy the summer bite also as long as I get out before light and beat all the pleasure boater that like to zip around you and make it impossible to fish.
