Member Fishing Reports - First Half of September
New club members Matt and Isaac Biggerstaff have been fishing Waukegan Harbor several times recently. Matt landed a 19.5” smallmouth bass casting from the pier. He estimated it to be 5-6 pounds and said it is a new PB for him! On a separate occasion they were trolling in their tandem kayak and Isaac caught a 34", 14 pound king salmon. It dragged their kayak around for a bit before they could land it! Great fish, guys.
Gregg Stockey caught a 37” northern pike while fishing a private lake for panfish. He was using a 1/16 oz crappie jig, so it must have been quite a surprise! Gregg has also been fishing his home lake. He says the bass fishing has been slow, but he expects it to pick up soon.
