I hit the DPR in Park Ridge with Rudy as the sun was going down yesterday and caught the little guy below on a green spinnerbait.
This morning I decided to do some exploring in the Melrose Park stretch and found some decent spots but spinnerbaits just weren't working no matter what the color or blade type. I switched to an orange husky jerk that I bought a while back in Door County and it was the key. I ended up catching the little guy below on a long pause between jerks . . . then lost the lure on the very next cast :evil:.
Exploring new areas was a lot of fun. The DPR is full of pike and you can find them pretty much anywhere!
