just wondering where y'all have the most luck this time of year.what creeks if any are navigable in a 19 ft skeeter.thanks for any tips.

i have really never heard of aquilla having sand bass run.

gotta spawn somewhere,but yeah i've never heard anyone mention it.caught a few around snake island over the years jizzing,but that's about it.

They run up the creek at the North end. But....tough to get in there with a boat. There is some corps of engineer land that borders the creek.....you can walk in. Actually, the crappie fishing is a lot better. Stop in Peoria and ask how to get to the "Iron Bridge".

Budd, is that you?? Forgot to tell them about the great hamburger in town!! LOL, Later, troutbum.
PS When did you get on this forum??

Two years ago, when the water was down, I had several good days. They were easy to find on the main lake just watching for the birds. Last year I fished behind the dam when they were letting water out. Plenty of sandies catfish and crappie. You just had to find a spot amongst all the others fishing.
