Illinois Fishing Report

[Ben Modica]

Martin and I fished a shad based lake on Sunday. We caught 2 muskies on the short size, less than 30 inches trolling crank baits. Just before a minor moon phase we switched over to casting, I had a lo 40's inch muskie eat at mid retrieve but lost it, we made a second pass and martin had one about the same size roll on his turmoil glider. All in all it was good to get out, considering it was just ice out.
