  • About Me
    My name is Kevin Brown and I have come to enjoy largemouth bass and crappie fishing throughout the Chicagoland area.

    I fish out of my 10 foot Porta-Bote with a 45# trolling motor which is easy to load and launch by myself in the ponds and small lakes in the area.

    I'm originally from West Seneca, New York and settled in Aurora, Illinois after my last corporate transfer in 2004 and retired in 2011.

    I'm looking forward to learning and sharing on this forum.

    Hi all, I'm trying to remember the name of a guy that I knew in the past that guides on the Chicago river. We were both members of the Arlington Anglers fishing club a few years back. Any help with his name and contact info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Kevin Brown.

    Exactly!

    The last time I was at Ponderosa Lake was about two years ago and everything I did catch was under 10 inches. I ran into a DNR agent that day and he said that they hadn't done any stockings at Mazonia in over five years.

    Unfortunately a sign of the times!

    Time to give Garmin techs a call!

    You are so right. If you find the right retention pond it can be a killer of a day! Going to try some in my area this weekend.

    It is not just the amount, it is the continuing gouging of the taxpayer in this state! Every time that I turn around it's something else.

    I just renewed my fishing license online and our illustrious state now has added a processing fee of $4.00 in place of the former $1.00 agent fee and $1.36 convenience fee. Looks like governor fatty has found another way to get in our wallets!

    Even the retention ponds near me have slowed down lately. Now that the temps are in the seventies instead of the eighties hopefully things will pick up!

    Congrats! Lake Erie?

    I think I like your home location more than the Garmin!!! Thanks.

    Good to know and thanks! Thanks Koz. Unfortunately mine does not have Android car play but your idea of a portable dash mount makes sense. Thanks Scott and all the others for the positive thoughts and information!
  14. Bassman37
    Good thought but I intend to permanently mount it in the vehicle. Thanks!

    I am looking to buy a portable gps unit for my SUV that shows small lakes, rivers, streams and retention ponds. I currently have a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder that has a factory gps/nav unit that is severely lacking in this area. I previously had a Toyota 4Runner that showed any and all lakes and rivers which was great for finding new areas to shore fish. If any of you could recommend a portable unit it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin

    Great purchase. I love my 73sv and mostly the ability to create my own maps on small lakes and ponds.
