Super User Scott F Posted September 26, 2015 Super User Posted September 26, 2015 St.Charles now. I used to fish deep quarry and bass lake a lot. Do you fish the Fox River much? Lots of good smallies there. Quote
BigBites1 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Do you fish the Fox River much? Lots of good smallies there. No I don't fish it really . I don't have a boat and don't know much about small mouth. I drive past at least 2 times a day and keep telling myself I should just try it but haven't stopped ... Quote
Super User Scott F Posted September 26, 2015 Super User Posted September 26, 2015 A boat, except for a canoe or a kayak wouldn't do you any good on the Fox. Most guys wade or shore fish it. If you are a bass fisherman, don't overlook it. Quote

If you are a bass fisherman, don't overlook it. Any lure suggestions to Try on the river ? I will try and stop one evening during the week. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted September 26, 2015 Super User Posted September 26, 2015 Lure selection is not important. Almost anything will work IF you put it in the right spot. On a river, like the Fox, right now while the water is high and fast, bass will hold very tight to the shoreline along walls, rocks and trees. Just dabble a ball head jig and plastic up against a retaining wall or bridge piling and you can get some nice fish. With all the shoreline access in and around St Charles, all the way down to Aurora, those spots are easy to find. Quote
BigBites1 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks ! I will give it a shot. Now I'm excited to try it out. Quote
