January 6, 2024 — Navy Pier/Lake Michigan
Six club members drove through the snow to fish at North Point Marina, but were skunked. No one made the trip down to Navy Pier.
January 20, 2024 — Nielsen’s Channels
Seven club members and one guest fished in cold conditions. Fish were biting early, but it seemed like the schools started moving around later in the morning and the bite slowed. Although many bluegill and crappie were caught, only four fish were caught for points, all bluegill. Al Silcroft won the big fish contest with a 7-1/4” bluegill.

April 6, 2024 — Rock River/Lake Koshkonong
Nine club members fished the Rock River outing, most from shore but two by boat. The weather was nice, but with all the recent rain the river level was high and the current was strong. We mostly used 3-way river rigs with 1.5-2 ounces of weight to maintain bottom contact. We caught 13 walleyes in the 15" - 16 3/4" range, and Jason Cashmore won the big fish honors with the 16 3/4 incher.
April 20, 2024 — Fox Chain
Thirteen club members fished our first boat outing of the year. It was very cold and windy, but we managed to catch 25 fish that qualified for points under our scoring system. Jig/minnow or blade baits caught most of the fish. We caught 9 walleye, 2 catfish, 1 smallmouth bass, 2 white bass, 9 yellow bass, and 2 crappie. Ward won big fish honors with a 24.75” walleye.
