Thanks for the report Pk. I need to give the Lagoons a try some time.

One fish is better than none; thanks for the report.

I still think we should all wipe the dust off our small crafts (canoes, johns, ect.) and have a lagoon outing.

Yeah, the lagoons are much better in any type of small craft. Not much walkable shoreline.

The Lagoons has alot of fishable shoreline that is easier to work from in the spring before the weeds get going strong. Both Lagoons 5 & 6 are a great place to fish in the spring.

jims right theres tons of shoreline that produces great during the spring before the weeds set in. For the dam, the bite is usually pretty good from a bout 5am till about 7, then it dies off pretty quick. I usually do pretty good by tossing a senko at the weedlines, towards the shore and the weeds further out.

PK,

I think you did awesome! I know Skokie Lagoons put out some nice fish, but you really don't get quantity there. I would kill to have one fish there on every trip. I can't count the number of times I've been skunked there.

Thanks Fishthoughts, you know I switched over to a wacky rig just because I was just about to leave and really didn't care at that point. Same thing happened with me last Sunday when I caught my 4.5-4.75 bass on a rattlin' rap. Just goes to show that throwing a different bait or a change presentation can really pay off.

Jim and Danno,

Yeah I know.... there is a lot of fishable areas at the lagoons, but I'd say there is probably more square footage of unfishable shoreline than that where you can get in and make a full cast. I've personally had more luck at the lagoons in a canoe or raft, just because of the spots I could cast to from the small craft.
