    Clinton has much bigger fish but you get a lot less bites. Both lakes are fishing tough right now for most guys.

    Agreed with Ventben... I was at Clinton recently. Caught about 40 Bass from 6 to 3. Had about a dozen keepers. Biggest 3 was over 13 lbs. While Springfield, I had over 100 fish with 6 keepers. 3 Biggest was only 9lbs.

    Clinton can be very productive and very hard. Our best there was 84 bass in the boat and days of 0 as well
