I started my wife off on the blue gills this last spring. She has been taking lunkers regularly now and outfishing me before I even get my pole in the water! She even landed a 3 foot northern last month. we are getting it mounted.
She wants to try salmon, it's Early Oce. so it's now or next year. I have never fished the big lake in my entire life except for smelts. I always figured it was to big.
We dont have a boat, so we need to fish from the shore. I would like to fish Lake Forest and/or Highland Park since it's closer to the house. we have some bussiness in Waukeegan in the morning, so we might try there first.
So........
What times of the day are best? What kind of bait and presentation? I will admit, I have been a bass man most of my life, but I am ready to move on.
Thanks in advance.
