stk Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Just got back from there. I was with the rocktown adventures booth with the kayaks all the way in the back. Didn't see many deals, did get to check out some daiwa reels (no steez tws) like the SV103 and saw lots of big swimbaits and jdm tackle by the big fish tank. Quote

Super User slonezp Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 I went to Schaumburg today. I was impressed at the amount of people that attended. The place was packed. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 The real question is...what did you buy? Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 Pickles My dad bought a shimano combo. I did all my shopping online. The only thing left to buy is a push pole and I'll pick that up at Cabelas Quote

Main reason I didn't bother venturing up to Schaumburg because they don't have the deals they used to. Plus, all new and upcoming stuff is introduced via social media/web so its not really like you're going to see something new. Enjoy your dills. Quote

The only thing left to buy is a push pole and I'll pick that up at Cabelas I usually do a lot of shopping online too. But, while I was at the Schaumburg show working my fishing clubs booth, I stopped at the Garmin booth. I'm looking for a depth finder and was not even considering a Garmin, until I saw what they had and the rep told me about a sale that Bass Pro would be having. Glad I was there. Quote
mbtharp1 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Fished a local pond today, caught one that was around a pound and a half. Yo-yo ing a red eye shad out of the weeds on the bottom. It was a cold one! Quote
Fishinthefish Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Anyone planning any outings this next weekend? I might try to get out during the week and throw some soft baits at the fox river for no reason. Quote
Bear141 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Tom H. Do you ever fish Fulton County recreation? Quote

You can post your local reports and outings and any IL specific fishing related things. Local fishing legislation that affects us and whatever else you can think of. Quote
Joey Bass Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 With the mild winter we've had this year (Northern Illinois area), how early would you guess pre-spawn for us? Quote
stk Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Hard to gauge, but last year I think I saw some of my best fishing near the end of March. Water temp was between 45 and 55 degrees. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 15, 2016 Super User Posted February 15, 2016 Let's see how quickly the ice thaws Quote
Firefish Alumacraft Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Shooting for Friday to get the new boat out to break in the new 115 merc. Looking to go to Morris or Starved Rock, Fri temps should be in the high 40s with sun so????? If we finish with lots of time left in the day I might try fishing the lower dam with some jigs Quote
