Hey WCF,
It's been a while since I've posted b/c I've been back at school down at the U. of I. I think that I'll still be posting up reports from down here (yeah, I know it's not near the "windycity") but hopefully my reports can help you if you guys are fishing similar bodies of water.
Today I fished "Mattis Lake" which is 5 minutes from my dorm from 2:30pm-4:00pm, cloudy skies w/ a slight drizzle, south eastern wind, and temps in the low 70's. This lake is really a pretty small pond, and I caught 3 bass fishing from the shoreline at a point and small cove (the wind was blowing straight at me)
All my fish were pulled out using a chartreuse old-school crayfish crankbait on my new light action baitcasting rod. I'd cast out and crank em really fast almost whipping them back in and they'd slam em'. I got them to hit the crankbait on a reaction strike I believe...
Looks like I found decent fish-hole right by my dorm to kill the fishing cravings I get....... lol, bass are similar to those at the Glen... aha
