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

The wife caught a monster!

Claire and I got out around sunrise yesterday, fished a bunch. Third cast she hooks into some rocks, then they move, bends her rod almost in half! When I heard her drag squeeling I hopped over as quickly as I could. Pulled out a BEAST! It was awesome

We caught a few more, then ran into Ken G- good to finally meet you Ken! Thanks for all the tips!

I hooked into somewhere around 15 fish, maybe less.. Caught maybe 8 of them, all were pretty small but it was really fun. They had no idea how small they were. Great times! Definitely my best numbers day on the Fox ever. Claire hooked into a bunch too, I think she caught around 3 or 4. Ken got at least one nice big one.

All fish were caught on 1/16oz jigs with chartreuse fish/grubs on them, bounced along the bottom. I think Ken switched to a similar setup after all the hits we were getting.
