FordsnFishin Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I don't normally fish from the bank. But I hear of people doing alright from lake paradise and mattoon lake dams. Both can be accessed by foot. Mattoon lake has the main road that lead to the marina. Both sides are the lake and are rock walls. I actually fish these walls all the time for crappie and bluegill when I'm looking to bring home dinner. Which is today's plan lol. You can work these walls around 200 yards on each side if you feel like walking around on rip rap. I'm out here all the time, I'd be glad to take you out on my boat sometime. 1 Quote
