Dupage 4/4

Well I was able to make my first trip to the river for a few hours today and I have to say it felt good to be back out on the water. I almost forgot how calming it is being out hearing nothing but rushing water, wind, and fish splashing! I fished a short stretch of river down river from the Sheply R...

With this job I started last September I have more flexibility than I have had in a few years; alot or work but I can chose when and where I work. Plus my office...

Re: Rickles (Rick) checking in...

Mazon is a great river and alot of fun with some big smallies; I did a stretch from the town of Mazon starting off on one of the smaller branches and floating down to Pine Bluff. The problem was the float was too long for one day; about 15 river miles. It really should have been broker into 2 days t...

To be honest not sure how big a drift boat is. It's pretty shallow skinny water in the few spots I've waded. This will be my first time kayaking it

Re: Blanked 4/22/12 AM

Managed to get out and fish a stretch I have never fished before and that's sad because its literally about 3 minutes from my house.
