That is definitely a nice looking swim Larry, be careful your going to get all the chicago guys picking over google maps trying to find it.
LOL...They don't charge to park so nobody would be interested!!

A local gravel pit was recently opened to the public. I fished it for a couple of hours on Saturday and took a 20-8. Went back this morning and did a bit of marking to find a shallow point. Nailed 8 fish from 17-0 to 24-4 and four bonus channel cats between 6 & 8 pounds. It's some of the cleanest looking water I've ever fished.

I have a local 400A lake that I fish 3 to 4 times a week. This year, the spawn started about 5/20/10. The fish were spawning on all parts of the lake. I fished about 30 minutes without a bite, chalked it up to the spawn and left. I avoided the lake until 5/30/10. I hoped the fishing was back to normal and thought I'd try again. I setup on one of my favorite spots but noted a lot of fish still thrashing and splashing along the shoreline. After laying out a good chum pattern and setting two rods, I waited 30 minutes for the first run. Once they started, it was non-stop for almost three hours. All of the fish were in the 8-12 pound range and looked to be males that had finished spawning. They were a bit beat up but definitely hungry. Several times I had other fish follow them right up to the shore while I did my netting. I'm starting to re-think my choice to avoid the lake for 10 days and wonder when the females will start to recover. Can anyone give me a bit of info on the sequence/timing of the spawn cycle and how it affects the bite.....under "normal" conditions??

I really enjoyed that!! Sure looks like a fun group to fish with on a warm afternoon.

Great pics and very fine narrative. Again...I say you guys were insane. No way would I fish those conditions. BTW..it's supposed to hit 78 degrees here this afternoon. I may never come back to the midwest. Even my son's dog (Lambeau) is snoozing in the shade.

Glad to have you aboard.
Thanks Larry. Thought I'd get a chance to chat with you at the Thanksgiving Challenge but didn't see you listed. Sam was talking about a possible event at Rock Cut for an overnighter. I gave him the info for the park superintendent. I s/w him at the park about holding something and he thought it might be possible before or after they go to summer hours. We also have over a mile of Rock River shoreline that could host the same function.

I just returned to fishing this summer after a long departure for cycling. I just wasn't able to fit fishing, cycling, and work into my schedule. So, I retired! I met a UK transplant on the river one morning while cycling. Right after that, I dusted off some of my fishing equipment and started chasing carp about 5 or 6 days per week...until the weather got cold. It's been a slow process to add equipment and learn these new methods for carp. I've managed to catch several 20+ this year and a PB of 23-2. I had a chance to meet several members at a recent tournament and hope to meet a lot more of you in the future as I try to pick up even more info and tips. I hope to spend some time in Packer land next year and explore a number of spots from Milwaukee to Door Co.

Rock River report....with a couple of river tournaments on the horizon, I pulled off my gravel pits and local lakes to start hitting the Rock. Until last week, it's been a bit high & muddy. I fished it most of last week, the weekend, and again this morning. I took 12 fish (11 common & 1 buffalo) today. The numbers have been quite good all week but the size hasn't been anything for bragging rights. Largest this morning was a bit over 14#. All of the fishing has been on various City of Rockford public access spots but I hope to work down to Dixon in the next week or two. Got to get those hogs trained for the Dixon tournament if we're going to stand a chance against all the heavyweight competition!!
