Greetings from the land of Lincoln. If you head a little north of Carbondale to Rend Lake.Just off I 57. If you do not have a boat go to the Dam at the south end. They have really been shooting a lot of fish from the bank below the dam. Of course be sure you have a out of state License. There are even some Big Head's there. Which are a blast to shoot. Let us know how you do...

Another suggestion a little closer to Cdale, is Crab Orchard Lake between Marion and Cdale. The east side of the lake is shallow and good for wading. Teh spillway at Rend is a good suggestion also. Heres the thing, the same waterway from Rend, (Big Muddy River), runs a few north and south between Carbondale, and Murphysboro. You could just drive 6 miles and shoot the same body of water.
