Great eye BFish

What a great birthday gift

Floating jig on three-way with full worm produced one healthy 15" walleye         and a few strong healthy looking smallies 12"-15" all swimming.Town was packed Saturday with their first Bison Days Festival.

12-13-15 Same M.O.same results,shore fished from 11:00-12:30 Beautiful weather in December.

Switched between live crawler and minnow on floating jig on a three-way bottom bouncer,while throwing a white grub on jig. Not even a bump.Beautiful warm sunny day in December,had a Bald Eagle circling above me for a few minutes.Who would have ever thought you can see an Eagle and a herd of Buffalo in the same day 5-30 years ago.

Can anyone help me with a good area to shore fish at or near the Kankakee State park? We'll be camping and it'll be my first time there, and I heard shore fishing or wading is pretty decent in that area. Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks - PM me if possible.

Took boat out for it's Maiden Voyage around 9AM. 1st cast with a crawler caught the attached photo-24" Walleye. Tried a couple other spots, caught some small Largemouths, 1 big Carp & my son's Superman pole lost a rather large fish, but a good day none the less. Fished mainly in 4'-8' of water slow rolling a worm harness. Missed a few other bites.

Was on the river wading for Walleye earlier in the week. Didn't get any fish below the dam or under the I-55 bridge. Current was strong and river was high. Be careful if you step in the water.

Waded and fly fished 3+ hours on a 1/4-mile stretch of the Kankakee River today and between my partner and me, we caught 12 smallmouth bass.
