Size of fish is always great, especially during tournaments. But if I have to pick. To me, river smallies are un-beatable when it comes to “fun”. They can be 12” and fight great! I grew up next to the fox river and chased smallies often.
I don’t creek fish often but I am from the Chicago burbs as well and I fish the fox from time to time. I just a lot of small cranks and jigheads with paddle tail swim baits and fluke type plastics and they work great for smallies. I’m sure they’d work great for creeks as well.
