Fish On! Hey Thanks Shane for choosing my service. Thanks for making it to check out the Lower Illinois river. We started searching and searching on and on for a very long time. I was covering some different water on the way out about 10am around the mud line and finally got into a big group of striper, hybrid, white bass. We caught some bigger ones trolling swimbaits, then proceeded to catch many many more by casting. I hazard a guess at 30 or more all caught and released. Mostly about 3ft of water. A one or two man limit of keepers if ya wanted a fry. These fellas fly fishing on my boat, I knew that was coming eventually, it's a die hard method of take and worked just great. Fishing was best in about 80degree water. Similar to last trip. Sun up, way up is best..
