Rock River

I've been reading nothing but good things about the Rock River, so I decided to go this upcoming weekend. I'll post a report.
 
We got to the rock early - about 3:30 am- on the east side of Oregon Dam. No bites early. Around 5:15 we started getting some hits. Caught a bullhead and 16" channel. We managed to catch a couple of smallmouth and one largemouth on nightcrawlers, but they were nothing to write home about. We started really getting some hits on stinkbait around 6:30 - real good sized channels. My cousin managed to catch a few carp, a couple of throw backs and big sucker, on corn. Fun time but it was way too hot. If you like fighting carp, stay just above the dam in the shade and use corn. Almost impossible not to catch a few. No luck on flatheads, walleye or sauger.
