Welcome! I too have lurked here awhile but now I moved to Ky Lake in Benton area and love it!!! 75 degrees today! Lived my whole life just outside Chicago but fishing has always been in my blood. Lasalle lake ought to open soon.....big hybrids in there....test run the boat there and fine tune it here!! Just learning how to spider rig and it's a blast. The guys on this forum are fantastic....GL/GF
