[Aux Pleins]

Been working too much and not fishing enough. When I do take a day off I enjoy spending time with the family even if it means less casting for me.

A few good updates, my son can literally outfish me at local ponds at times now. Including one park district pond outing where he outfished me 8 bass to zero. Bass only wanted a crappie jig that day.🤣

My daughter can now cast all on her own and catch panfish at will. Shes 4yrs old.

Yesterday I ran into a poacher at a local pond with a whole cooler full of runt blue gills, most likely for flathead bait. I gave him the business and he released them all.

I apologize for not enough detail reports but I have been keeping tabs on everyone elses reports and to me they're all gold. Even updates on skunks are valuable and scratch the itch for me. Thanks guys, keep up with the local fishing.

Haha, that last meme! Good fish from you and the kids too! You letting them swim in the DPR? I might have to call child protective services lol

That was the Fox, honestly just as bad if you ask me. Building up the immune system at the least .

That smallie is a tank for sure, also Fox? Is that a brown? Beautiful.

That smallie was from a kayak trip on the Milwaukee River.

Yes that's a brown trout from the discharge at the Waukegan powerplant. This was the last year to hit that discharge as they shut down the Waukegan power plant earlier this month after a century of poisoning the lake and surrounding community. They will now fumble the clean up process no doubt. They intend to bury coal ash within steps of the lake and cover it with a plastic tarp claiming it will contain the ash for 400yrs with out any ground water seepage. But initial tests already show the ground water all around the site is already contaminated.
