I'm here South Suburb of Chicago. I actually wondered the same.
My biggest fear is that I finally catch a double digit Bass and will want to mount it.

Better get some ice fishing gear, otherwise it will be a long winter.

Every once and awhile I do get to chase the smallies there . Unfortunately I haven't made it to Powerton yet this year . Just got a new lake (50 acres) to fish , so I've been hitting that . Plus it's only 5 minutes from home .

Where have you been fishing lately? I have been doing well at Mazonia, caught my 2nd and 3rd PB there this year.

Hey Uncle Leo, I really haven't been out since school started again. First year of Pharmacy school and all I've been up to is studying.

I really didn't fish around here much this year. We kept our boat in Michigan once those gas prices shot up. If I were gonna be going out I'd be hitting the Cal Sag or Lake Michigan.

Well if you find time send me a PM maybe we can get out together. I usually fish Mazoina for a quick outing. Had 30 bass days and always kill the skunk. If the back of the boat is open your welcome to join in.

Thanks I appreciate the offer. I'm not sure I'll be able to join you any time soon as they seem to feel tests back to back are a terrific idea and that's gonna continue till around December. Maybe we can get something going in the spring. I haven't been to Mazonia in probably over 8 years now.

Which lake are you hitting? We alays used to go to monster I think.
