Have been surfing around the forums, and thought it would be good to join. I’ve been fishing for as long as I can remember, now that I’m done with college and started working full time, I can support my addiction to fishing more. I’ve been fixing up a boat I got from my grandparents and hope to be able to use it a lot more this summer.
Looking forward to learning a lot more than I already have from these forums.
CincySid - I’m actually from DuPage as well. That’s a sweet catch from a FP lake - I usually try to hit those lakes as well, at least before they get too weed choked and/or I get irritated by the crowds with buckets

We are going to have to hook up and do some fishing together. i hear you about the bank sitters with the buckets, what gets my goat is they keep everything they catch from a 4 inch crappie to a 8 inch bass, it all goes in the bucket. i live in Glen Ellyn by the way.

Yeah we’ll have to - I’m from Warrenville

Welcome aboard. I’m in Mount Prospect just north of O’Hare. I get out on Busse but haven’t been down by you or Cincy’s neck of the woods although it’s only about a 1/2 hour South of me. The guys on this site are just awesome. I’m just getting back into bass fishing after a pretty long layoff and the information they have provided me is invaluable.
Come spring me, you, and Cincy need to get our fishing on!
It’s a 16 ft Lund aluminum with the bench seats - lived in the garage for a few years without being used. After the rotted out plywood/carpeting deck is replaced and maybe a new seat or 2 should be good to go
got a trailer for that bad boy? busse allows trolling motors only and I bought a 52 lb thrust minn kota this last summer that we can throw on it. They rent batteries so I’d probably rent a spare battery to make sure we aren’t rowing that son of a gun depending on how long we’re running the motor.
Cincy-I think your style of fishing would kill Busse. We could get out on the boat and fish some very remote areas that you can’t get to on foot and probably kill em. Weeds, moss, etc.
I’ve been fishing it with mostly cranks and plastics with mild success.
