Thread: So what’s it like in Illinois?

I wouldnt move anywhere near chicago...as far as i know there isnt any real good fishing around that crazy city anywhere. I fish the mississippi river year round about an hour north of moline and we catch plenty of everything. Lots of crappie, gills, perch, walleye/sauger, bass, and whatever else you like to catch basically. The rock river has some good walleye fishing and some of the best cat fishing around if you like to chase a few cats. Lots of ducks on the river if you care to chase some waterfowl and plenty of deer if you can find a place to hunt. As far as the fish being small in illinois...i wouldnt say that at all. You just have to learn where/how to catch fish and im sure its going to be way different than what your use to in florida. Ill put a few pics up of what the Mississippi River has to offer.
