Lake Clinton - review & breakdown 

There is a roadbed in the cold end that is always good for wipers use wire

I can't thank you enough for this video!

Also Weldon access close to hot water discharge or Parnell access at north east side or marina has boat ramps as well marina in my opinion is the beat but there is a $5 fee to launch

Just bingeing on older video I have studied the material, “ Bucks “, but it’s a bigger jump to apply on real maps . I’m finding it hard to eliminate or interpret bad from good or better from worse . Thanks for helping

Great info! I am so thankful that you are “showing and talking” structure fishing! In June and Sept I am going to be in the Galesburg area. Any advance info available? Again thanks!

Hello Jim - great video. I suggest Clarks Hill Lake GA 30802 specifically Mistletoe Campground which is located West of HWY 47 on the South side. I will be there this Thanksgiving for almost a week. There is the channel, streams, roads, bridges but seem to be deep. My review is to start straight out from the campground and head west, the area appears to be loaded with structure. My idea to follow the guide and when a fish is on toss a marker and check the area.

how many vistior are there at Clinton lake iL?

You can bank fish that little North spot there on the power plant side (Sesame Rd.) Excellent little secret spot only used by a few locals.

The marina has the best launch for a solo angler. It’s protected from wind/currents and has docks right at the ramp. Most of the time I’m fishing with my kids & it’s absolutely worth the $5 to put in there.

Have you ever heard of Lake Shawano? I hear it has a healthy population of Northern Pike and Walleye. Its a clear water lake so I think I will be learning how to fish wire, the depth goes down to 40 feet. Any advise?

Caught a 14 pound blue catfish today

Have you done a structure review of Lake Sara?

can you do shabbona lake please

Evergreen lake

Thanks for the info! Are you planning on doing one on Evergreen or do you not like fishing it?

do u sleep at hotel when u go there? This is 3 hours from Chicago..

Can I use a kayak in this lake?

Hi Jim - I am a subscriber and have corresponded with you in the past as our sons' attend high school together. You mentioned Coffeen Lake. Since we live in a colder climate in the Chicago area, I have been trying to fish power plant lakes in the winter as I don't like to ice fish. I have fished Clinton twice and Newton several times - always for largemouth bass. Always done much better at Newton. I have been thinking about expanding to Coffeen and Sangchris as other alternatives downstate, especially Coffeen as it looks like a really good bass lake. What has been your experience? Thinking about Coffeen in November and December; are there particular structures you like on the lake? Never fished the lake before so try to get a bit of a starting point. Great video on Clinton btw!

I was just watching one of your videos, and had the thought, “I wish he’d make a video about Clinton”. Got on your page and saw this! Nice surprise lol
