Actually, I am from Jasper county. The email address is a retired

haven't posted to Usenet in quite some time. Clay county? Flora,
Illlinois?

It's Kentucky Lake. We had a houseboat a couple of years ago at the
Town & Country Marina on Johnathon Creek, near Benton, KY. We lost it
to a fire at the marina. Our boat was two slips from the boat that
caught fire and exploded, catching surrounding boats on fire. We lost
everything, we only had liability insurance, and no other parties had
insurance. (Lucky us!) We purchased this 1970 Nautaline from a party
in Lake City, Minn, and we started down the Mississippi last year to
take it down to Kentucky lake. We caught a tug rope near Clinton, IA,
and we've had trouble since. Right now, we're at Two Rivers Marina,
across from Louisana, MO, having the boat repaired again. Maybe I
should take up flying instead of boating?

|Mississipi last year, and it became entangled in both of our props.

I also thought I'd mention. I believe you are in Jasper county IL.

I'm in CLAY.

Hi, Neighbor!

OOPS! My bad. i looked at your email address that you used, and I
confused it with "Psbnewton.com" Which is hosted by the Peoples State
Bank in the next county over northwest from me.

sorry for the confusion.

Clay City!

You're right. *You aren't that far away at all. *Do you do any fishing
at CIPS? *Apparently, East Fork in Olney has been really hopping the
last couple of months. *Do you ever go to Rend?

No, I've never fished on CIPS, but have told many how to get there.
I've never been to Rend nor Lake Shelbyville. East Fork gets crowded,
so when I go, I usually go over to Carlyle. I;d love to hit Lake
Decatur sometime, but that's quite a distance in itself.

But Carlyle is abotu 60 mi. from me and that's a big body of water and
you don't have any congestive traffic. I hope to be out there on July
4 for the fire works. Heck of a display right at the West Access
Marina.

I have never fished Carlyle. Usually when people talk about fishing
in this area, they talk about the other lakes you mentioned; but, I
seldom here much about Carlyle. My lake of choice though is Kentucky
lake (and Barkley). The crappie fishing is excellent there in the
spring. And the Bass and catfish fishing isn't bad either. I've
pulled some nice sauger out of there, too.
