    ChiTown area anglers

    With it getting up to 50* on Fri, how many of ya are heading out. I'm going to try to get out to the Des Plaines. The rain will make the boat look like crap on the trip home, but being able to fish in late Dec is pretty awesome.

    CLOSED GAMEFISHING SEASONS IN WI HAS NO BIOLOGICAL CREEDENCE!!!

    Tommy, I am going to go with a friend of mine who's boat is not winterized. Otherwise you would be more than welcome.

    Phil, I am going to the Des Plaines River.

    I'm in Grand Rapids MI right now and they barely have any snow an 40's right now. Blows my mind. We have been slammed in Central Hell with snow and cold. Gotta love it

    Hey Phil, why don't you bring your boat up? I can't seem to find mine in the snow right now.

    Re: ChiTown area anglers (HDETERS)

    I have an IL license i bought last year. I don't want to sound like i'm too lazy to research the IL fishing guide, but it's probably the most screwed up info guide i've ever seen. Are bass legal all year? I would like to head down there a couple times if the weather breaks. I am a skier, so if it's too warm to ski that works perfect for some fishing.

    If you want to ski don't come here to IL, stay in MI

    If you plan on taking bass home with you, stay in MI

    Bass are legal for the most part, smallies have regulations, more in the Spring time.
