Too ##### hot yesterday, had plan but mother nature squashed them. Went on last week, caught 2 nice size ones (about 23"-25") and 7 eaters between 2 of us, along with a 36" Ski. Not too bad for 4 hours. Out near LaSalle. How deep are you catching them at the bridge? At night or during the day?

3 of us fished near boblo on saturday morning, ended up with 5 eaters. Wanted to hit the lake but it was too rough. The flats are supposeed to be giving up some nice fish, we fished them for a couple hours not so much as a bite. How are the weeds up by the steel plants?

Went out sunday,got a few dinks,and smalies and even a couple silvers,tons of weeds and spent the day dodging cabin crusers,everyone was up watching the vintage sailboat show,haven't seen that many jerks on the water in a long time.
Fished the steel plants across from LaSalle on Saturday morning for a few hours. Never saw so many meat heads in big boats for a long while. Picked up 3 eaters and a small muskie. Got out of there early just to save my life.

Nice courteous guys eh? I am going to start firing jigs at these clowns if they dont start backing off a bit. I mean they have to come by you at 20' to show off theyre $200,000 boat, and send you on a rollercoaster ride. It even happens at 2am, that really scares me, you know they are just plasterred at that time of night.

Nothing like running lights to fill your boats with bugs and speeding drunks that need something to steer at thats for sure.

Well I fished on saturday and sunday as well by the big bridge near the big sailboats. Sat. did 1 drift ,10 min, none landed ,almost got thrown out of my boat a few times.I jig rough stuff all the time under that bridge but wow.Sunday was no wake, I thought I would be O.K. ,wrong them P.r.'S didn't even move when they were under moter power and I was back trolling w/ my electric, almost fired the flare gun at them, might have gotten one of the hundred or so cops ,rcmp, coast gaurds or choppers off there ###'s, instead of me flagin' them tellin' them I'm not under power, but drifting straight at 6 mph.Wow, glad it's over that's one ##### of a run on sentence. I'll post next, when I can fish. GOOD LUCK
