Thanks for the replies, I fished in a slip right off the river near the hotel and had several bites this morning but never got any to hook up. Could see them snatching at my jig but they were just grabbing the tail. We enjoyed the city, the parade, and met several nice Chicago PD Officers that helped us out a lot too. I never felt unsafe here, but I always had an eye on my surroundings too. Thanks again for the replies.
