At M & M we provide great fishing packages on beautiful Rend Lake, Lake of Egypt, and Kinkaid Lake. We guide for crappie and bass on all three lakes and have a tremendous amount of success doing so.

We stay mainly on Rend Lake for the crappie, as the lake has numerous fish in the 10 to 12 inch mark and several up to 15 inches. This lake provides fisherman with the opportunity to catch numerous fish as the lake has an abundant crappie population. In case you have never eaten a crappie it may be the best tasting freshwater fish there is.

We take the majority of our bass trips to Lake of Egypt. This lake is a power plant lake that has a hot water input and provides the warmer water it takes for the fish to stay active year round. This lake is a great lake early in the spring, as it produced several fish over the 10 pound mark last year and one just under the state record of 13 pounds. With M & M we provide a guide service that caters to the fisherman's needs 100%. We provide the boat, tackle, gas, and the knowledge to let our customers have a great fishing trip. We also clean and package your fish when we are done fishing. When we do this, tips are appreciated for this service.

We now offer fishing packages to Kinkaid Lake for muskie, bass, and crappie. Kinkaid Lake is located in midst of the beautiful Shawnee National Forest and is a tremendous fishery. Lake Kinkaid is known for its abundant 2 pound plus crappie and also its great bass fishing. But perhaps your best opportunity to catch a fish of a lifetime is in its Muskie fishing. This waterway is a very deep lake with the best scenic views of any Lake in Southern Illinois.

All pricing is based on 2 fishermen per boat. A third fisherman will add another $75 for a full day and $50 for a half day.

During a full day trip to Rend or Lake of Egypt we stop around lunch time to either eat at the restaurant on the lake or we will provide a lunch for the customers. These packages are great for the whole family, especially the ones that love to catch fish. If you love fishing and being on the lake, Southern Illinois is the place for you to come and see.
