I'm pretty much done doing regular bass fishing for the season. BUT... bass can still be had at the Busse warm water discharge or the Northshore channel of the Chicago River. Minnows are the bait of choice.

ok thanks jay.

Heck yeah they can be had at the NSC! By Howard, Foster, or anywhere else probably. I almost forgot about that place!!! Thanks for the reminder Jason.

Drop-shot minnows 12-18" off the bottom by the discharge. At the edges of the stronger current. You will be pleasently surprised. We have had a few really good days out there in the late fall early spring.

Now that Jason brings up the WWD at Busse you can pretty much find a variety of species at most of the WWD(warm water discharges) on any of the rivers/creeks with in the Chicagoland area. The Des Plaines has a couple, you would probably fair better with the ones located on the Fox River.

On the Des Plaines there is one in Burr Ridge that I know of.
On the Fox there is one in Geneva, Montgomery, S Elgin, Batavia, etc.

Minnows on a small bobber with small split shot and small hook floated in the outflow.
