Thanks Ed.

I feel better now.

But you have a valid point for those that do not know - Illinois licensed fishermen are not allowed to fish for Lake Michigan Perch in July. (unless you are under 15 (or 16?) years of age.
I do believe in the fact all fishermen must purchase a current valid license before fishing in any state and obey the rules. It is all for a good cause - and allows us to have some fun.
