I do most of my fishing in Indiana. We catch a few HOGS every year. But Illinois kicks ass too! You ever get a chance to get out here give me a shout, my friends and I are glad to share info and the fishing is top notch dude.
It was a tough year, but the fish are finding their way into the net again now that Fall has arrived. Hope you can get out soon and battle a few nice lunges before ice up!
