As Seen On Brushpile Fishing

In November 2023, Russ Bailey from Brushpile Fishing visited Carlyle Lake to target some of the impressive Southern Illinois slabs. However, on the day of their arrival, strong winds exceeding 40 mph made fishing challenging. As waves started to come over the bow, we decided to end the day for safety reasons. Fortunately, the next morning was calmer, allowing us to resume our fishing expedition.

A few days later, I had the opportunity to be a guest on the Brushpile Fishing podcast to discuss our trip, showcase the fantastic fisheries in Illinois, and raise awareness for Amvets Outdoor and The Fallen Outdoors.

I look forward to welcoming the Brushpile Fishing team back when the big fish are on their beds and aggressively hitting corks! Be sure to subscribe to their channel at https://www.youtube.com/@BrushPileFishing to stay up to date on everything crappie!
