Tis the season, colder the better! Good luck.
You guys are Crazy
I was wondering how you did, there were bass tournaments on Saturday and sunday ,thinkin about going on Monday before it gets colder
No parking in mornings on weekends. Parking lot full with Bass rigs. Monday or Tuesday your best bet.
Good dedicated crappie fisherman will show up at 5 am and take a nap in the truck in the up close parking spots.
We got are 2 man limit
Got there at 8 since the minnows i got the night before died so had to wait till 7 to get more minnows but it wasnt to bad in the parking lot
here's a good tip. Dress warmly.:fish:santa Good luck
Is Coffeen a discharge lake? where is it located ? Thanks for any information
Power plant lake at coffeen il. North of Greenville
Coffeen is located east of Litchfield, IL and south of Rte 185. Litchfield is Exit 52 on Rte 55,
so about 20 miles southeast of Litchfield.
Thanks guys for the information. I fish the power plant over here in Indiana but Sullivan but the crappie have diminished. Has been taken over by catfish. Might have to give Coffeen a try.
Might try a minnow or jig under a cork. Drop it through the weeds.
went to coffeen on wed parking lot was almost full,my first time fishing there I didn't do very well,cant believe that no one is talking about it,boats were everywhere
It's kept tight lipped this time of year.. The bass fisherman hit it pretty hard. Tourney about every weekend. You just have to go fishing like you did to find out what's going on.Quote:

If you go in the summer, try north of the RR tracks, stays a little cooler up their.
Look at the views on this post. Over 1000 views and most other posts have 200-400. Lot to be said about that...

Any fish?????
Been fishing there couple times a week and the fishing has slowed down. Still catching some fish but not like it was. Water is really clear.
I was mainly bass fishing. 5 shorts. As kastmaster1 said, clarity is 3-5'. I did throw the jigs I got from Nutech Lures. Pulled them through alot of laydowns. No problem s. Both the crappy and bass jigs. Caught a bass on one of the jigs, and another on their spinnerbait.
One good thing about me fishin their, I have a 50, so it forces me to fish instead of running all around.
