TV show on Pinkneyville Lake in Southern Illinois

By Don Dziedzina, August 16, 2010 at 3:25 pm

I just finished editing a TV show for Illinois Outdoors that will be airing on Comcast Cable, Total Living Network, Ch 138 at 6 AM on Saturday, September 11.

I thought I’d share with you in the slideshow some photo clips from this episode.

Pinkneyville Lake is a small city lake outside of the town of Pinkneyville. It’s a 10 hp lake but you can get around easily with an electric trolling motor.

Jason Johns of Todd Gessner Outdoors Guide Service and I caught a bunch of largemouth bass using War Eagle spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.

Check out the slide show. Hope you enjoy it and watch the show next month.
