Help, I have a day off tomorrow (a rare thing) and am desperate to go fishing. I am looking for somewhere to put a boat with a larger engine on it in and was just wondering where ya'll thought would be best. I am out of Mascoutah. i have considered all of the old standby's but I was curious what is hot out there now.

My thought is either Kinkaid or Lake of Egypt. As you can see from past posts, Bam's hubby B did pretty well last week at LOE.

It could be a rough day to be on the water tomorrow. Our preference is Rend Lake. It and Kincaid are both a bit of a drive, but are nice places to fish. I haven't been on Lake of Egypt, but Bam says it's a good place to fish. How far were you up for towing?

The wind has been awful here lately, hardly any boats on the lake!

went up to cofeen and limpedaround with the trolling otor. caught 20 total, other anglers had been doing even better. they say that the cold side of the lake is killing right now. we just stuck around cemetary cove.
