I did a write-up and was working on it off and on throughout the past week. Got sick of writing papers so I needed a brief break and change of atmosphere.
This write-up/article/blog submission/whatever covers lure ideas for fishing the rivers this year - or for any time, really. Basically the lures highlighted are those I have used for the past few years and new things I'll be putting to use this year. Some I'm very good at using while others I suck at using yet I still use them.

It's been a rough year thus far as I have yet to catch a single fish because they simply aren't ready yet. Lots of factors are involved: weather, too strong of currents, cold water temps - everything is behind schedule by a few weeks.
If you read through this long write-up, which I hope you do so but if not it's okay with me, I am hoping that this offers some help as far as lure ideas, tips, and tricks are concerned.
It's very long and I have it condensed down into a link - otherwise this post will be ridiculously long.
Any questions, ideas, thoughts, criticisms (Pokerguy45 this is your chance), feel free to respond to this and I can fill you in even further.
Finally, please keep in mind that my main walleye venue is not well-known for catching fish in numbers, nor considered as a "walleye factory" because people don't believe they exist in there. While specifically targeting walleyes in the middle of nowhere, I just happen to stumble upon a few random stranded fish located in the unexpected and I somehow manage to catch them - and most of the time they're over 20-inches which is pretty cool.

Don't worry guys - I'm not trying to sabotage WCF by bringing you guys over to my site which has nothing to do with the Chicago area - my article is just too friggin' long to make a post out of.
enjoy!

If I don't catch, then I write - seems to be the trend so far this year. :lol: Kind of boring but better than nothing.
