FISHING REPORT

Tuesday August 20th, The dog days of summer are upon us! August is just that kinda month for us here. Everyone waiting on the big guys King Salmon (Chinook). Water is still warm and it is just a bit early but I do have a report from a reputable fisherman that he has seen a couple swimming in the harbor. I have had reports from up north, Wisconsin area that a few have been caught, so they are starting to move around a little. Just have to get out and start casting. Hopefully with next weeks winds the water will cool a bit and we will have at least one caught to report. We still have a lot of original Moonshine lures for those who are skeptical of the new Acme made ones. Quite a few Trout in the harbors but seem inactive in the warmer water. No perch to report in our area but the Chicago River is still producing some catches. Actually the river has been pretty hot for a lot of different species of fish, bass, perch, rock bass, crappie, carp, catfish, bullhead, bluegill, etc… Smallmouth haven’t been very active lately around the harbors. Of course with the N-NE winds the Sheephead are doing well on the Horseshoe on crayfish. My husband has been fishing Skokie Lagoons and catching some small bluegill and bass. To catch you must fish so get out and give it a shot, there is still plenty of summer left. As always call for your up to the minute report we tell it as we hear it!
