Honey Creek (connected to the Fox River)

No matter if your using live bait or lures the approach would be the same. I use jigs this time of year, anywhere from a 3-6 inch grub, I got magic one's heh! I like to "quarter-cast" when working an area, I stand parallel to the structure I'm fishing especially timber/shoreline trees. That way when you hook into a bigger fish you can keep him/her from running you into the structure and breaking off or wrapping the line around a branch etc.,
From the picture it looks like a beautiful area. When I'm out with guys fishing I always talk about hitting the "pocket" area's, something like that mini inlet in the picture just over your right shoulder. I would cast a jig a lil upstream of that and bring it down the seam of that soft spot created by the inlet. Another area I can see in the pic that looks like it would hold fish is that grassy point sticking out to the left(from our view) of the carps' head. Probably the first 50-75 feet from the tip of the point on downstream looks like it has some decent potential to hold quality fish. Hard to tell if it's the wind on the surface but it looks like there's a decent eddy and maybe some other obstructions(big rocks) protruding from the tip of that point. In the fox river north of the chain of lakes impoudment holds mostly the same fish as it does down here in illinois. I believe there may also be some trout in those waters though. Good luck and enjoy your trip and dont forget to take pictures to share with us here at WCF.

Hey janpodano,
Thanks for the tips, they were pretty helpful. I actually went out there again, but my fishing was limited to this bridge because the shoreline is way too thick with plants to even get near the water.

I actually had a lot more luck this time. I ended up catching 3 northerns (22"-24"), a bullhead, and another carp. I caught the first pike just standing on one end of the bridge and I let the current drag my 3" white mister twister w/ chartruse jig head under the bridge and I just jigged it when it hit. My other 2 pike were caught off of a spoon casting it into the faster current letting it drift a little bit followed with a slow retrieve going counter current. The carp and bullhead were off of worms. Probably one of the my better days out fishing this summer because the bass bite at Lake Glenview and Ind. Grove haven't been too good to me so far.
