FISHING REPORT

Tuesday November 12th, I’ll start with letting you all know that the plan so far is to have the shop open through the first weekend of December. If the weather allows I will try like I did last year to stay open longer. 2d on the agenda is the pier pass program  which starts Friday November 15th. We will have passes available when we open at 6am. Also for those who are interested and can make it the Chicago Fishing Advisory Committee will be meeting at the 31st street harbor community room at 10 am on Thursday November 21st, hope to see some of you there. The last meeting had a lot of anglers and a lot of great input. Now for the fishing report. Steelhead still lead the report. Most harbors are active with Steelhead/Rainbow Trout. They are hitting many different baits including spawn sacs, hair jigs with wax worms, night crawlers, shrimp, large minnows, etc… as well as still some artificial lures and crank baits. Some Browns have been swimming around but haven’t heard of many caught. There are a few really old looking (zombie) Kings still being caught. Nice Northerns in the mix as well. No Smallmouth reports. Perch are slowly coming in here and there. Just remember you can’t catch ‘em from the couch so get up and get out! As always call for your up to the minute report we tell it as we hear it.
