I live in Andalusia, IL. I've been having some luck around there, especially with the water so high. We've been getting big grass carp, lots of gar, and lots of commons. Only problem is my outboard died on me last weekend so I have no boat untill I get a new one. Its hard to describe where I've been going. I'll be around next week and the following weekend (sept 8th & 9th), but this weekend I'll be in northern WI.
