A quick summary from recent Dupage Adventures

I have not posted in some time, due to the fact that I am moving shortly and do not have internet. It is also the end of the year, which meant finals and massive amounts of grading. I don’t want my few followers to think I am a dead beat blogger, who has just stopped for no apparent reason. The pictures below cover a wide variety of days on a wide variety of ponds. The only consistency among them is the little gold and black Rapala used to catch all of the fish. I am trying to avoid using live bait at all this year, outside of spawn for salmon. I was especially impressed by the aggressive bluegills that hit the tiny crank bait. The pictures cover a few of my short adventures between May 10^th and June 7^th. Hopefully, now that summer vacation is upon me, I will be able to get up to Northern Wisconsin and soon post my first musky post.
