Maverickpro201 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Thinking about making a trip over there What is the HP rating in this lake? How has the fishing been as of lately? How is the Bass and Crappie bite? We release all bass but like to keep a few crappie if we fish for them. Thanks

Trolling motor only for those boats while operating though. https://www2.illinois.gov/dnr/Parks/Activity/Pages/CoffeenLake.aspx -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
Members Ken1949 Posted October 25, 2020 Members Posted October 25, 2020 I fished Coffeen about three weeks ago. Bass fishing was pretty slow. I saw a few crappie fishermen, but they did not appear to be productive. I had two real good trips there back in June, with a couple of 20 inchers. The bite seems to be slower since then. The aquatic vegetation has been worse since the power plant shut down about a year ago. Not sure why. Lots of shad in the lake. If you can find the bass busting shad, you will do well.
