Steel Dam Milan, IL

[hnd]

went out tonight for a few hours. 4 12" saugers, a 2-3lb shad(snagged), and about a 4-5lb drum...

water seemed higher and i caught them on a crawdad colored shallow diving crank bait...

the drum actually ate it...

i forgot a stringer and didn't have a bucket in the car or else i'd of kept them...

i'm thinking about going out sometime the next few weeks and throwing jigs tipped with corn to have some carp fun but we'll see...

i'll probabbly also try my hand at the slough..

Sure would be nice if he'd call his friends before he goes, instead of calling to brag after! :party0045:

went out again last night. was only there for an hour....snagged a few with my crank that got off....hooked what seemed to be a 2-3lb walleyey that shook me off and then i hooked something big but it got off, i'm assuming i snagged it...

there were a father and sun that pulled out a stringer of about 30-40 shad and drum....yuck

Tried Steele Damn on Sat. morning and it was a train wreck. There was 12 people trying to fish off that one wall. People were crossing lines and it was not much fun. Not to mention we didn't catch anything worth reporting on.
