Guys, just found this forum and looks like it will be a wealth of knowledge. I actually on the IL border in southeastern IL. Duck hunting has ended down here for me (all the ducks have went south)If anyone wants to come down for some Kinkaid Lake crappie/walleye and some Miss. River walleye let me know. I fish all the time in the winter and catch a lot of nice crappie in Kinkaid and have a great spot off the Mississippi River that I can slay the walleye. My friends don’t like to fish until it hits the 50 degree mark.
