1. Caught these bass on Beck Lake (Cook County) Illinois

    Largemouth Bass with a Ned rig

  2. 10 Smallmouth Bass

    1 lb. 6 oz. 17 in. Largemouth Bass with a square bill crank bait

  3. How is the Turtle Flambeau Flowage? Has the ice melted yet? Do you think the ice will be gone for opening day for walleye?

  4. Can anyone share what lures/bait is being used, as I never fished this area before and am somewhat a novice when it comes to crappie and bass!

  5. Coming down for the of May 4-9, how's the fishing been and what is the lake temp?

      Thanks for the update...so with the water temp that high the crappie should have already spawned or am I mistaken?

      Some crappie are moving up shallow, and some are still deep. it should pick up here soon. The water temperature is running in the high 60s.
