6/20/09 Big Rock Creek

From the Wisconsin border to the Illinois River, some of the best and easily accessible fishing in the Chicago area.

You can never fish the same river twice, by the time you get back it's not the same river.

I've caught smallies, walleye, largemouth, white bass and gills all above the lake. Pretty much the same below.
Plus I know there are muskie and pike in the lake and I know a guy that has caught muskie on the down stream side of the lake.
But, we'll be heading further up stream than I've ever gone.

Could be nothing but creek chubs for all I know. :D :D

Anything is possible.

Sorry guys! I woke up 7:05 and jumped in the shower thinking I had time to make it by 8 if I flew! 7:15 comes around and no I'm having doubts about being om time.


Matt calls at 7:20 asking if he's going in the right direction?! He's like 5 miles from the spot and I am like 50. After we hung up I said... Fuck it! There will be other times! I hope.




Sorry,



Dan

Well, the fishing sucked, but it was a beautiful day to be out there.

They're called alarm clocks, you should think about getting one.

They come with easy set up instructions.

:D :D :D

Wife and I got a kitten about 5 weeks ago. Now he is half kitten half cat. Lots of fun but I now wake up literally 1.5 hours earlier than pre-cat. That is usually a good thing.
