Black Crappie

Located near Rend Lake in Southern Illinois, The Boneyard is about an hour from St Louis and about 4 hours from Chicago. We are right in the middle of some of the best crappie fishing in the Midwest.

We fish Rend Lake, Lake of Egypt, & Carlyle Lake near Benton, Illinois.
When you fish with The Boneyard Fishing Guide Service, you’re treated like family. And in our family…we catch fish!

We fish spring spawn March - May. Then we get into some offshore livescope during the summer. The fall is phenomenal fishing as well!
