    What's your favorite southern Illinois lake?

    Which lake in Southern Illinois do you like best for Bass fishing ? I'm going to be down there the last weekend of April to fish and I'm curious which lakes everyone likes the best. I will be fishing kinkaid for sure but may also consider Egypt one day.

    Crab orchard and cedar lake for the smaller boat. It use to be the Ohio river out of Golconda but all the silting and Asian carp have turned me off from there.

    Crab Orchard, Egypt, and Kinkaid are all great lakes and all fish very different from each other. If its spawn, Crab Orchard can get tough and fishes pretty small.
