| If anyone coming from NW suburbs needs suckers, Lee's bait and tackle in Arlington Hts has 3x 12-14 suckers. I ordered them but wasn't able to make it. $12 for each and if u do pick them up let me know cuz I paid for them and if sold am supposed get the money back. Just letting you know cuz it would be a shame to let them go to waste. Also he changed locations, now on Higgins just east of old location. Thx

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | Was out yesterday with everyone else avoiding marital strife and fishing the chain. This is all I saw. But if anyone really needs a boat, I can tell you where I found these.

Location: Northern Illinois | Good find, I have about 7 or 8 marked on my GPS. Fishing has been slow, I have been targeting panfish/ walleye with limited success. I did see 2 muskies caught this week. |

Slamr, how was the boat traffic?
Lots of boats out there but I was told there was a walleye tournament going on that day. I did have one guy troll within 7 or 8' feet of me, so that was fun.
Musky Tales was full and even the Turtle had 4 or 5 rigs parked there.

The current stupidity we are experiencing should be over in 2 weeks and when everyone "goes back to work" it should be worth trying it mid-week.
Thanks for the report. |
