I am new to the Chicago area... Along with any tips to Bass Kid, mind telling me where about "Heideke" is? With the nice weather finally here, I need to get out and fish. Enough said.

I-55 South, exit Lorenzo Road west (exit #240),Go about 4 miles and follow the signs.
Fish the rip-rap. ha ha. Be careful. Remember it's a cooling lake, which means it's "perched", designed to catch the wind. It gets rough in a hot minute.
There's a bait shop/concession stand that also rents boats. I believe Sam Palumbo still runs it. Call (815)942-4000 for information.

Good luck & Keep em wet.

If your shore fishing, the area around the bridge has always produced white bass for me.

thanks, guys... this is my first time on the lake, but my partner has been there a few times, and he is the one who will be driving... hoping to get a few largemouth out of the deal

I've caught a lot of bass at H., but never a largemouth. Smallmouth, whites, and hybrids are the rule of the day here.
