Chicago Harbors (4/15) with pics

[Matt T]

Hit the harbors looking for some spring coho. It started slow in the early AM, but after the sun came up, the action really picked up. The key was crawlers under a slip bobber and spoons with firetiger patterns. The fish were not interested in anything else. The bite was on at 8:00 am and done by 11:00 am.

Here are the highlights

Way to go! I didn't buy my stamp this year because I've had such bad luck getting those fish! I've gone with some buddies to Waukegan, Kenosha, and Racine, but I've never landed a fish. It takes some serious patience to get the good bite just right!
