River was pretty dirty, lot of junk floatin down yet!! water temps 43 degree, Missed a bunch and brought about 15 in the boat!!, biggest of the day was 4lb 10ozs, most around 2 lbs. kept 2 for dinner and rest went back!! Was a great spring day to be out on the water!!

Jason - where did you put in at? Did you see all the boaters who put in at Lawrence Park? Most I have ever seen there - due to the high water I guess? The boats who could get to the lower dame looked to be pulling in some big ones.

Wish I could get out - hopefully soon!

It was a great day of fishing and plenty of action. The river otters were a sight to see that i may never see again like that. I look forward to fishing with mark whenever the chance comes up.

I want to, but it wont be till after I am out of school, and the Rock River is likely the first place I will go. I am in a Rough fish tournament on another site and need to catch some catfish, carp, drum, ect... Does anyone know if them white bass are running yet?

[heath19]

i havent heard of anybody catching any white bass around here yet...but the rock is up so much that all the spots i know to catch them are kinda out of order right now,lol...that and this cold spell doesnt help either

[heath19]

Well cambridgefisherman they are starting to hit now. I was down to dixon today on the rock and caught three in a little slack spot i found in all that current. They were all about right at 11" or so. Snagged a few big ole carp too. The river is way up though and needs to go down a bunch...They should start hitting really good soon with these warm days..
