WOW!!! Had a blast with the NW Region guys. Good time. Good food. Good smallmouth talk. Jude brought knives. Good weather. (Jude brought knives?)
It was nice to have such a big turn out. Thanks to all who showed.
We had 13 sitting around the table.
I know for many this was a bit of a road trip and I want you to know that your efforts are appreciated.
It was great to see most everyone from the region come together to kick off the year.
It's going to be a good one so strap on those waders tight and ready yourselves for the ride.
Had my camera and didn't take pics. How dumb am I?
Pizza is good.
Meeting fellow ISA members is good.
Talking smallmouth is good.
Eating pizza with fellow ISA members and discussing smallmouth is all good.
See you Saturday, February 27th @ 1:00 PM. Salamone's in Cherry Valley.
IT'S ALL GOOD!!!
I have always had the idea in the back of my screwed up mind of hosting a "Fishing Hat" out.
I thought you guys would all think I was a weirdo if I were to ever share that idea out loud.
April 23 (Saturday) at 8:00am
River Clean Up - We’ll meet at the Cherry Valley Cafe for some grub
and then head out to clean up the banks of the Kishwaukee River.
Float or walk the shore line and of course a bit of smallmouth fishing.
April 9 (Saturday) at 11:00am. (This could turn into a fishing outing depending on conditions)
Gander Mountain Meet - It’s time to stock up on some of the
stuff you need like…. fishing license, Water Usage Stamp, Stink
Bait, HA! See what fellow members are buying and using. Maybe plan
to fish afterwards.

Sign Posting - We’ll meet at L’Eden’s in New Milford. IL

then probably wet a line. Nice way to learn new fishing spots.
