HAHA depending on your location if in central to northern Illinois I would drive to Newton Lake or Coffen Lake. If in southern Illinois gotta to head south of Marion to Lake of Egypt. All three are power plant lakes which means fish grow and eat all year. DNR expects the Illinois state record for Largemouth to come from Newton or Egypt. Winter and early spring are best for these lakes, but you can still catch good ones year round. Good Luck!

While driving from Hammond, IN to San Antonio, TX one day, I stopped at Horseshoe Lake near the southern border of Illinois. Spent about 10 minutes with a buzz bait while standing on a small bridge and caught the biggest bass of my life. I turned around to show it to someone, and the two guys who had been there talking in the parking lot were gone! Didn't have a camera or a cooler and was facing another 14 hours on the road. Gave her a kiss and told her goodbye!

Spring Lake west of Manito fish the south end of the lake for big fish and the North end for numbers of bass some 10 plus pounders have came from the south end lately
Also I hear the strip mine lakes have big bass but most are private

In-line spinners, panfish flies, popping bugs, crappie jigs, marabou jigs, hair jigs, ice fishing jigs tipped with a strip of Chamois, small plastics (finesse bass fishing), small crankbaits, panfish crankbaits, spoons will seize all 3 of 'em.
