  1. Ever been there? You'll be eating pickled eggs and pickled pike in the bars
  2. Roselle had a kids fishing derby on Saturday, at Turner Park. Poor Eric came in second. He entered 30 bluegills, first place had 31. Had a good time nonetheless. Was happy with the candy and juice box prize, he doesn't need a tackle box, we have enough of that crap. The kids caught a turtle to torment as well.
  3. I think this is one of their better performances which showcases the entire bands talent
  4. Fall will be here soon enough. Leaves are changing and salmon are entering the harbors, and bow season is 2-1/2 short weeks away
  5. I primarily jig fish, but I'd get them on spinner baits as well. There's also some pretty big rock bass in the harbors. I've caught some 1+ pounders. Iconelli filmed a show here a number of years ago when he was doing his urban fishing series. If I recall, he spent most of his time fishing around Navy Pier. I used to be able to sneak my old boat underneath the north side of Navy pier and do well with smallies and perch. It's been awhile but, I'm pretty sure it's a no boating area now because of the water plant. Worried about terror attacks or something. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to find safe shore access on the river, not to mention parking. I don't know if it's still there but, there is/was a municipal lot underneath LSD at the Ogden Slip that was never patrolled for illegally parked cars. I'd park there. Prior to the condos being built on the south side of the slip, we'd fish at the boat touch and go that borders McClurg. Best shorebound crappie and LMB spot I ever found on the river. After the condos we're built, security would shag us out.
  6. When I lived in the city in the 90's, I always fished Burnham and Monroe Harbors for smallies and the river for largemouth. I have fished the harbors and river since then by boat. I've caught bass over 4 pounds. If you can get access to a boat, the "Playpen" breakwalls hold fish Speaking of carp fishing in Chicago
  7. Poor man's burnt ends
  8. @VolFan shipped me his no longer used magnet. Appreciate you sir. If we ever find anything of value, I'll cut you in.
  9. A face only a mother could love?
  10. I'm more curious why you aren't out there trying to locate your facial features.
  11. When does it get the Corvette LT2 6.2
  12. I'll be Debbie Downer since no one else will. It's just a dog. Hear me out. I've owned many Just a dog. I currently own Just a cat x3. It's not about the physical being, it's about your connection to it. Crazy cat lady here. I have 2 cats(siblings) that my daughter gave me when they were just weeks old. I have a 3rd now as her life is what it is and I'll leave it at that. Picking up the pieces seems to be my thing. Raise the kid, raise the cats. The sibling senior cats are fine. the other one, not so much. I still give him the attention he desires. Sad thing is I think the cats are smarter than I am.
  13. Pets never cease to amaze me. I have a cat that begs for meat cooked on the pellet grill. Won't touch meat cooked any other way. The smokey/woody smell gets him all riled up.
  14. Top 10 guitarist that ever lived, and I don't care for his Greatful Dead style. Talent nonetheless. He's very fortunate his band members are also at the top of their game.

    Nick Swardson has a story about a real life encounter with PD and how he beat it because he was Terry
  16. My grandson has expressed interest in magnet fishing, thank you YT . Types and pricing for fishing magnets are all over the place. So are the reviews. Just looking for a place to start. What magnets? What kind of rope? Whatever else?
  17. Hitch is part of the frame and a weak spot in the design.
  18. Talk about someone stealing your sunshine. Guy catches a state record and soon thereafter his buddy wipes the floor with him https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/west-virginia-fishing-buddies-break-state-records-hours-each-other
  19. Hope you're not towing anything with that
  20. High quality Delta 8 THC derived from hemp. Doesn't have the psychoactive effects that you get from marijuana. I've had 3 shoulder surgeries and it helps on those bad days. I'll describe it as a super muscle relaxer. No side effects minus the dreaded cottonmouth and munchies.
  21. Non pharmaceutical drugs?
