: : : Tried the I & M(Lemont) and all I could muster in two hours was one bite, no fish ;-( Went to my "never fail" lake, HorseTail(CCFP) and caught 18 gills and green sunfish in about 45 minutes. Would have had more, but the first 15 minutes were wasted as I was fishing in 1.5' of water and only had 1 fish. Moved my float to 1' and fished slightly shallower and it was one bite after another. Catching those small suckers, was another thing though :-) Best was five bites, five fish. Usually had to get three or four bites before I could hook one. Was fishing the shallow bay area(closest to 104th Ave.) All small fish in there, but sure was fun to get back into action again! Had the whole lake to myself and never went by any others to see if any action was going on

: : Hey Oz, I went by Tampier today and caught my first fish of the season-bluegill! It was very windy.

: The good old, never let you down, bluegill :0) Were you fishing in the weedy bay? The Perch at Tampier are a respectable size, but I sure haven't caught many of them. I may try Tampier for a few hours next Sunday, but not too sure. Was it crowded????? And you want wind, you should of been fishing Saturday LOL.

Yep! The weedy bay. It was somewhat protected from the wind. It wasn't crowded at all, but there was a few people out there trying. What do you think about joe's pond and those other preserves? I found them on the way home(I went a different way). None were crowded but each had a few people trying! WOW! btw, can you put a boat in at that dam sag area ;)
