RE: Des Plaines
I walked the bank last Saturday; it took me awhile to locate the fishbut it was great shooting when I did. The gar were spawningin thebaynorth of the Kankakee Riverboat launch. It was like shooting at broom handles - I failed to connect. I did shoot 15 commons (3 doubles) and one quillback. Largest common was 11 lb 8 oz. (I got to use my new digital scale).
THIS WEEKEND WILL BE A PRIME TIME BEWALKING THE BANK.River level is good and it is supposed to besunny and in the mid-70's. I'll see you out there for the 'Memorial Day Shoot.'
