pit 3 isnt that bad if u can locate the fish i got lucky last year when i hooked about a 6pnd fish off the bank pure luck plus the boat fishing is good to the small lakes hold big fish and the temps are about 40 prolly u know its been cold if its not around the 30's

the lake up there are great. Caught 13 last Sunday and 6 on Monday. The water temp is 72..

You could try Baldwin lake. Or there's the new lakes over at shooting complex. The city of Sparta has two lakes, north city lake and south city lake. The city of Pinckneyville also has a lake. It's north of the city towards Nashville and some good bass fishing. then there's Washington county lake, but it's kinda funny, when there biting you will catch some nice fish,3,4,5,6 lbs. fish. Problem is being there wen they are biting. rend lake is another option, a little bit of a drive,but well worth it. I will be going down there on thursday, the catfish are spawning.:):):):):)

Smoke..is Pyramid too far for you guys? Things have been picking up over there in the new part..
