  1. The state of Illinois already owns a large parcel approximately a mile up from the confluence of the Mazon and Illinois river (Morris Wetlands), They offer no access for taking out by kayak or canoe. My guess is the state is pressured from county government to limit access, and the county is influenced by large land owners like the ones named in the lawsuit.
  2. Thoughts and prayers to Jude’s family.
  3. If you can’t tie and drink beer at the same time...,,,,,😉

  6. Here’s a few pics from the tournament. I’d like to add we where able to raise $400 that will go to “The Coalition To Save The Menominee River” which really was the whole point of this event. Good barbecue, cold beer and a riverside view didn’t hurt either.
  7. Eric, entry is not all that steep when you split it three ways. All the proceeds are going to a good cause, a resource many of the membership enjoys if I’m not mistaken.
  8. Dave P has a 3 man boat, a drift boat to be exact. I also told him the entry fee is the same even if he only has 2 anglers.
  9. Gentlemen, it’s three man teams which would negate a kayak or canoe, that’s the reason. Drift boats, skiffs, rafts, John boats......craft that can legally hold and fish 3 anglers. Correct, Tom would Tom would Rock it!

  11. Thanks Forest, hope to see lots of familiar faces and new ones as well.
  12. Thanks Terry, It's a double standard. That's why I would like start the conversation and include the club's conservation Director. I know I'm not alone when I say I'm tired of picking up no less than three deflated pool toys and countless other garbage left behind by tubers. I cant believe it's 2017 and were having a littering debate.
  13. It's not "dangerous" at all. If it doesn't have a hull ID number or a water usage sticker it doesn't belong. The danger is floating down a river with current while in a craft with which no means to control it whatsoever. With the tubers comes litter and underage drinking. This is a fact every river angler in our area knows and it directly impacts our river environment. I would like to know what the ISA leadership position is regarding this proposal?
  14. Thanks Tom, members can visit us at are website www.midwestwaters.com or follow us on FB and Instagram. I'll mention the conservation efforts of the club, which I hope to have included if or when we do another.
  15. Lol, yeah it'll go away just like are toll system was supposed too.
  16. I'm talking the Dupage specifically here but I know you boys experience the same BS. Enforce these "watercraft" to have a sticker and I bet it addresses a lot of issues.
  17. Would the leadership entertain creating a petition to present to the IDNR? It would require the individuals that float are waterways in what amounts to pool toys to have a "Water Usage Sticker"? I don't understand why this isn't enforced or required right now? Why do fisherman, kayaker and canoist have to purchase a permit, but anyone with a Wal-Mart pool toy does not? Frankly the past couple seasons the litter and under age drinking that go along with this our out of controll.
