Guys,
I have a friend with two boys that would love to come to
Wisconsin this summer and fish. He needs to rent cabin and
be able to rent a boat as well. He gave a trip to them for Christmas.
Anybody have any ideas or places ??--I'd love to pass on to him.
Thanks, Z21:) :)
Try here in Hayward Wisconsin

naildriver,
Thanks again for the info----Leesburg, Florida---I am heading to Jupiter,
Florida in March to watch a couple of Spring Training games and then crappie fish a couple more days ---I haven't finalized anywhere for fishing yet.
Z21
hey Z yeah, that trip to jupiter or other spring training area is something i plan on doing this year. i am a huge fan of the game, in fact i am seeing the parks and recreation dude tomorrow a.m., about umpiring some games this spring. i am from the chicago area originally, and a cubs/sox fan. also, have killed a few deer just south of you near flora and clay city. we got a nice hunting camp in the little wabash bottoms. if you get up north during the spring/summer, give me a holler. i might be up there.

ND,
Sounds good, I am a Cardinal season ticket holder--always love the Cards/Cubs games. I was a IHSA licensced umpire myself. Deer/ Flora
---I have a farm near Iola--great Deer/Turkey hunting. close to the little
Wabash river.--Have you fished much in Florida for crappie ???
Z21
Z21 No, I have not got out to chase dem crappies too much. I cant get real exited cuz most guys are not getting them yet. I have heard 3 good reports in the last month. But , maybe the guys catchin them are just keeping it to themselves. Last year they started about this time of the year. So its time to get after them! There are 76000 acres of water to fish on this chain so it will take a few outings to get a handle on em! Glenn
Check out bluetopresort.com I spend 2 weeks there in june and the fishing is good. They have cabins and rent boats with motors It's a clean and quiet camp ground that has its own channel ,swimming pond and not far from other attractions. This is fremont Wi. the White Bass capital where you some times can catch as many as you want to clean when there running in May. Call earle they fill up fast. I'll be there the last 2 weeks of june again.
Barn Dog,
Thanks for the info --I'll be sure to pass it on

hey Z Where do you do most of your crappie fishing? Mattoon lake? Shelbyville? Rend? I fished Rend one time and got shut out by a nasty cold front that was thowing hard sliders out of the north. hehe Never went back to fish down there. A couple buddies fished shelby a few times and usually did good--- right off the piers/docks sometimes. Glenn
naildriver,
I fish Lake Sara a lot, Shelbyville,Rend Lake a few times. Mark Twain a lot,
Truman, Kentucky Lake ,Toledo Bend, Beaver Lake, AK. But believe it or not
Lake Sara, Effingham holds really nice crappie , One guy last spring was showing off a 3lb. Not many people really fish Sara for crappie. Shelbyville
is a a very nice lake also.
Z21
Z, I have looked at Lake Sara online and it looks nice. I see that there is a resort called Anthony Acres on the lake that has docks so I could leave my boat in the water.What is your opinion of Anthony Acres and would it be worth a drive from near Peoria to stay there and fish Lake Sara some long weekend? Are there any hp restrictions or lauch/lake fees? Thanks.Quote:

Jet motor boats or jet ski boats. Lots of docks to fish. If you come down-
pm me and I'll even show up or send you some spots.
