I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who fished it Saturday. Great fishing from a boat!!!!! First cast #4.5 pounder many more after that. If you're coming all the way from Chicago and their biting. Break down and rent a boat, if it's too pricey ask someone on here to split it with you!!!! (they use to have half/price Wed's) Life is too short to pass on good opportunity's!!! lol
