ok so im new to this site but def not new to fishing.. been a member of ultimatebass.com for a few years now as well.. im about 20min straight east of the st charles area.. so this year I decided to start trying out the fox river..
well went out a few times with no luck.. my cousin and I fished the boat launch just north of north ave and the east side next to the mini golf..
so far no luck at all.. my home lake that I usually fish is getting very weeded out and its put me in a slump this last week.. my cousin has been in a slump for about 3 years haha but hes trying so hard and I really want to get him on some fish.. preferrably bass cuz he has never caught one bigger then about 6 inches.. hes caught a lot of bgills, channle cats and carp..
basically My cousin my uncle and I are going out sat. evening for some fox river fun.. we fish from shore.. I have a list of the parking spots that are legal and what not but i gotta get my cousin on some fish or ill be fishing solo this summer as hes ready to give it up already..
as far as bait Im thinking minnows/nightcrawlers.. cant really fish them wrong but im wondering if anyone will share a sure fire spot close to the north ave area.. we have only gone at night the couple times this year so its hard to really see what the river looks like and where the dams are.. the map i have says theres a dam north of north ave but south of the elgin dam.. how do we get to it and should we fish the north or south side of the dam???
I want to get hooked on a carp or cat.. and my cousin is just looking for anything to bite his line haha.. any help would be great
