Matt and I got out for a little impromptu outing at the river this morning.
First fished in St. Charles from 730-930am. Had no bites, caught nothing.
Then headed up towards. S. Elgin to work a few of my areas (I was planning on fishing them anyways after fishing with Matt).
Again, we caught nothing but we attribute all of today's futility thanks to Darth because we don't think he left us any fish to catch from "The Darth Spot".
Threw cranks into the current, spinnerbaits and topwaters in slackwater with depth. Nothing.
Matt had to leave at 1 and I stayed and fished solo until 2pm.
It took us a while to figure out what the hell was going on over here as if some crane crew blatantly threw a couple tons of rocks into the river on purpose to make an island... But after some post-outing investigating, it was discovered that a road (Stearns Rd. extension) was being built along with another bike trail. I saw a time-lapse image of what it will all look like and from what I saw, those bridge pillars that will be here should attract a fish or two. Gotta love the man-made urban kind of fishing.
Lots of fishermen out, not much catching.
