Dept. Natural Resources counting the fish population today at one of my favorite spots. Strong population at Springfield and Sanchris in Illinois but average sizes ...more nothing breathtaking.

Andrew Wheeler 0I looked at the new il reg book. Sangchris no longer has a slot limit. 3 large or small mouth a day over 15". Must of changed in last 2 years, I think. I know ...more there are Threadfin shad in Sangchris , but are there Gizzard shad in there? Clinton is 3 large or small mouth a day over 16".

Jon Morrissette 0What is slot limit at Clinton? Guys get 4 to 6 regularly there. I wonder what's different? They didn't say anything about shad, but my gosh there are millions ...more everywhere literally... clouds and clouds
-
Andrew Wheeler 0That is what I mean the slot has not helped get those 3.5 pounders to 4,5,or 6. I also believe & agree that the numbers under 3.5 are there for sure. Did they ...more say anything about the shad #'s ?
-
Jon Morrissette 0They felt Sanchris has healthy large mouth population. There is absence of large 4+ lbs. I've heard good reports of Sanchris, but I don't fish there much ...more per motor limits
-
Andrew Wheeler 0I don't think the slot limit at sangchris is working. Or there are a lot of illegal fish taken out every year. Also, where have all the robust striper gone ? ...more Lilly pads ?
