5/23-5/24

Craig from Peoria booked trips for three days this week. Yesterday Craig, his son-in-law Brian, and his grandson Blake went out with me, and today it was Brian and Blake, and Craig's son Craig in the boat. We soaked dead rods and jigged channel edges in numerous locations the past two days and boated well over 60 "shorties", some "keepers", slot fish, and cats. Water temps on Wednesday were around 61 early in the morning, and today it was 67 when we left the water at 11 am. There is a big bug hatch going on right now which might explain the tough bite in some locations. The live well was full of full of them when we cleaned fish. Tomorrow we are going to pull hard baits all morning to see what we can get going. :cool:

Keep a tight line!!!
