I was going to hit the river on the 6th but never made it. I am hoping to make it up there on the 27th. if all goes well.

I went out and took a young man with me that was bank fishing and not doing so well. We wound up with 14 keepers that were just good eater size. That was three days ago and then I went out yesterday evening for a while and got 7 more. All were taken on chicken livers Schoe

Hello brothers i have been thinking about coming down to illinois to fish the rock are there any dams that are good fishn for flats any advice would be appreciated. Oh yeah i dont have a boat a good pair of wadders though

 

[dgde4x4man]

Under the Low head dam in Rock Falls is a great spot for wadders. I have seen a lot of guys fish there before.

 

[CatfishWEIRDO]

Thanx 4x4 and good luck with the fishn

There is also one in Milan called "Steel Dam" that is supposedly perfect for waiders.

My future son in law goes to WI. for big cat - up near you and say's it's better than the Rock - of corse he's one of those [email protected]$$ hunters and I don't think he even looks for cats down here!

OH AND THE WI RIVER PRODUCES LARGE FLATTYS AND CHANNELS

 

[Schoe]

Yesterday, Steve Clark, a BOC member and myself caught two nice Flats off live bluegills and seven nice channels on chicken livers plus a bunch of small fiddlers. The keeper channels were actually caught between 10:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M.

Is steve signed up on this site - don't see him posting?

Where were you fishing - down by the Miss. or up north?

 

[Schoe]

I think Steve is pretty busy with work and family. I will be talking to him soon and will ask if he has signed up on the new site yet. Wait till he retires he won't have time for nothing. I really don't know how I found time to work before I retired. Schoe
