Being from SE Wisconsin I have no problem catching black crappies. Years ago my mentor took me to Squaw Creek and did great on big whites! From that time on they were my favorite fish. Wi. Is not known for white crappies,maybe a few on the Mississippi. Anybody out there willing to steer me in the right direction ( fishing in Illinois). Thanks. CARPIO

If you are willing to make the drive, Rend lake is a premier spot for white crappies. I actually think they have both species.

Scroll through the thread and you can see you the guide service does.
Also in north central Illinois is Shabbona. It is a smaller lake but a good population of whites.
