Illinois Fishing Report: Lake of Egypt Fishing Report

Fishing Report (Lake of Egypt)
April 23th, 2008

Water Temperature North End = 68 Rising
Middle South End = 65 Rising
Water Level = 6 Inches over normal pool
Water Clarity = Clearing still murky but much clearer in the north end
Last Rain = 4/22/2008

Hooooooo, hooo! Crappies are finally on the rise with many reports of fish being caught within 10 feet of the shoreline. A couple of fishermen staying at the Egyptian Hills Marina reported catching 50 to 60 crappies. All over 10 inches and a few at 15 inches. They caught'em casting the shoreline. They would not share any information on what kind of tackle they were using. My neighbor started catching crappie as well. He is casting and dragging 1/16th ounce black and chartreuse or red and chartreuse tube jigs within 10 feet of the shoreline. The crappies are being caught from the coves in the north end and all the way to the shallows found in the south end. Some fishermen are reporting crappie are spawning in the north coves.

Bass fishing continues to be hot. White and chartreuse skirted spinner baits with copper blades are doing the best followed by jerk baits. Sinko jerk baits appear to be the favorite. Everyone I talked to reported catching many bass. All of the bass are being caught within the first 10 feet of the shoreline. Many 5 pounders have been caught and released.

Hmmmm! The crappie and bass are both locating near the shoreline. Maybe if you downsize your spinner bait a little you can catch both!

Happy spring and...

Fish On!
